CONFERENCE: 38th International Institute of Sociology Congress

The 38th International Institute of Sociology Congress will take place in
Budapest on June 26 - 30, 2008. The theme of the congress is "Sociology Looks at
the Twenty-first Century: 'From Local Universalism to Global Contextualism'".
Speakers will address some of the most fundamental issues of sociological
inquiry in the light of global processes and the development of a range of other
fields of knowledge will be addressed: What does it mean to be human? What is
the nature of social as opposed to natural processes? How do different efforts
to map the social and political world interact with that world and with
traditional sociological practices? What can we now say about relationships
between scientific, political and religious beliefs?

If you have any questions, please visit the congress website: www.iisoc.org/iis2008
The site will be continuously updated.

You are warmly welcome to Budapest in 2008.

Yehuda Elkana and Björn Wittrock
