New Agendas on Youth and Young Adulthood:
Youth Studies Conference 2013
April 8-10, 2013
University of Glasgow
In 1997, a small conference was held in Glasgow focused on the changing lives of young people, with the intention of setting a new agenda and stimulating research in the field. The conference ultimately led to a new research initiative on youth and, in 1998, the launch of the Journal of Youth Studies. Starting out as a journal producing 3 editions a year, the Journal of Youth Studies has become the leading journal in the field listed in the top citation indices and publishing 8 editions a year.

Congress of the Swiss Sociological Association
Inequality and Integration in Times of Crisis
June 26 – 28, 2013
University of Bern
Since Karl Marx first described the enormous social inequalities and their potential for social change at the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, the origins, extent, and consequences of social inequality, as well the level of inequality which a society is willing to tolerate, have been major themes in sociology. Our discipline has taken on the theme of inequality in multiple areas ranging from research on unequal educational and labor market opportunities, unequal income distributions, gender and health inequality, and inequality in life expectancy, to mention only a few. There are innumerable national and international conferences devoted to these themes. Do we need yet another one? Is inequality still a problem in our society?

12th Nordic Youth Research Symposium (NYRIS12)
Changing Societies and Cultures: Youth in the Digital Age
12-14 June 2013, Tallinn University, Estonia
Organized by the Institute for International and Social Studies, Tallinn University
NYRIS12, like previous Nordic research conferences, offers a platform for international, interdisciplinary and interactive discussion that will reflect research in youth studies from various perspectives. We now invite proposals for sessions to be held at the conference.
NYRIS12 focuses on cultural and social changes in the digital age. Rapid technological developments, structural changes in society and economic uncertainty may influence young people in some respects more than other age groups. In the highly globalising and ICT-saturated world young people can also be seen as one of the main agents of change in society. Read more
