BOOK LAUNCH AND RECEPTION:
SOCIOLOGISTS' TALES
Thursday 16 April 2015, 18:45 - 19:00
SALTIRE CENTRE
The BSA and Policy Press are very pleased to announce the launch of Sociologists’ Tales, edited by the Early
Career Forum Convenors. This book collects the thoughts and experiences of the UK's top sociologists from multiple
generations. Inspired by their own experiences and feedback from other early career researchers, Dr Katherine
Twamley (Institute of Education), Dr Mark Doidge (University of Brighton) and Dr Andrea Scott (University of
Chichester) gathered sociologists' thoughts on why they chose their career paths, how they stayed on those paths and
the advice they would offer the next generation of sociological minds. The book aims to provide an understanding of
the discipline as a challenging yet intensely rewarding one and to demonstrate its importance for the future.
The Editors and some of the contributors will be present at the launch and the books will be available for sale at a
discount for all conference delegates. Please join us for a glass of wine and celebrate what it means to be a
sociologist!
