| Welcome |
| Modern universities are experiencing radical changes at all levels and in all countries and cultures. It is timely to consider the impact of these changes on the discipline of sociology. Is there a general, maybe, even universal trend at work? Can any particular or unique developments be detected? If so, what role do cultures, states and national peculiarities play in these developments? And how do they affect sociological traditions? This conference will engage with these and related questions, both in the context of sociology’s past and the challenges it faces in modern times. |
