Analytical Sociology: Theory and Empirical Applications

Seminar in Cooperation with the Academy of Sociology,
San Servolo, 18.-21. November 2024

We are again planning to meet in November for a workshop on "Analytical Sociology: Theory and Empirical Applications" in Venice, Italy, on the island of San Servolo. The workshop will take place from Monday 18th November 9:30 to Thursday 21st November 13:00. What began in 1999 as a seminar with a few doctoral students has now developed into a 4-day workshop with almost 100 participants each year.

Workshop Programme: The call for papers for the conference will be sent to our mailinglist in May. A preliminary workshop programme will be published on this website in early August.

Research Topics: The workshop welcomes theoretical contributions in the field of analytical sociology or theory-driven empirical social research on any topic.

Workshop Format: We will have slots for a maximum of 30 oral presentations (30 minutes including discussion) and 25 posters. The poster sessions will begin with short introductory presentations in the main conference hall.

Location: The workshop will be held at the Venice International University (VIU), Venice, Italy. The VIU buildings are located on the small island of San Servolo (about 10 minutes by boat from the historic city centre). Participants can book hotel rooms either on San Servolo or in the city centre. See this webpage for travel information provided by the Venice International University.

Workshop Language: English.

Organizers: The workshop is organized by Katrin Auspurg, Josef Brüderl and Gerrit Bauer (LMU Munich) in cooperation with the Venice International University (VIU) and the Academy of Sociology (AS).

Workshop fees: There is no workshop fee, but we cannot cover your travel costs.
