Inequalities particularly affect marginalized populations and women in their professional, public and private lives. Intersectionality has become major theme in the ISA conferences and in our discipline over the last 20 years.

Overcoming the lasting and interconnected economic, racial, colonial and gender discriminations and the violence that maintain them is another major challenge of our time.

The rising consciousness of intersectionality is both a result and a trigger of the rise of subaltern actors and movements since Indigenous communities, minorities, feminists and small farmers have resisted injustice by combining practices, social struggles and alternative worldviews.

The ISA Forum will provide sociological analyses of these four global challenges paying particular attention to their interconnections and to possible solutions.

We will discuss how both progressive and conservative actors and movements tackle these challenges and their conflictive perspectives. We will use this Forum to ask how our discipline has been meeting these four global challenges and it has been transformed by them.

What are the contributions of the actors and epistemologies of the South? What are the new trends in global sociology that allow innovative analyses of these challenges?

What are the main obstacles we face to tackle these problems? Stocks and Shares ISA. Important information - Investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in.

Instructors will receive a stipend for teaching the course. If you are interested in teaching a course, you can submit your proposal through this site.
