2013 IVSA Conference

CUCR, Goldsmiths, University of London are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the International Visual Sociology Association 2013 Annual Conference from 8 to 10 July 2013. Inspired by Michael Burawoy’s concept of “public sociology,” we dedicate the 2013 IVSA conference to the concept of the “public image”, and the ways that visual sociology can meet Burawoy’s challenge to bring a sociological understanding of social life to a vibrant, active and diverse public. Public and urban sociology endeavors to bring sociology into dialogue with audiences beyond the academy, an open dialogue in which both sides deepen their understanding of public issues in cities.
