SAANZ 2023: Call For Papers

The convenors of the SAANZ Annual Conference 2023  – Global Challenges / Local Responses –  are pleased to call for submissions for conference papers. Paper presentations will be 15 minutes each, with 5 minutes for questions. This call for paper proposals closes 4 September 2023. All proposals will be reviewed and included at the discretion of the conference organising committee. This process will be completed by 25 September 2023.

As always, the 2023 SAANZ Conference welcomes all sociologically grounded topics, but we look forward to a focus on the local, the Indigenous, the grassroots, the community-based, drawing on the conference theme.

The 2023 conference includes a stream dedicated to Critical Social Work, which explores everyday dissonances, hope, and social work in the context of local and global challenges and particularly welcomes exploration of this theme from Indigenous and/or postgraduate researchers.
