AS 2019

The Academy of Sociology (AS), founded in 2017 as an association to promote empirical-analytical sociology, announces its second conference with a thematic focus on digital societies.

Digitalization is one of the megatrends of our century and affects numerous aspects of social life. The social sciences as well as the public have just begun to study and understand the deep structural changes that come with digitalization. Yet, the complex mixture of opportunities and risks in many areas of social life that are associated with this transformation call for a more comprehensive and thorough evaluation by the social sciences.

The 2019 conference therefore called on researchers to take up this challenge and provide substantive empirical research, methodological discussions, or theoretical contributions on digitalization with respect to all aspects of social life.
