"Biographical Research Quo Vadis?" RC38 Conference at ELTE

The issue of social change has always had special importance in biographical research and is especially visible in such diverse areas as migration, gender, work, violence and political transformation. By creating a platform for biographical researchers to come together and jointly reflect on their craft, this conference seeks to identify and address current and re-emerging challenges to social analysis from the perspective of sociological biographical research.

The conference will take place partly at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE TáTK), partly at CEU Democracy Institute in Budapest, Hungary, 4-6 September 2024. It is organized by Júlia Vajda and Juli Székely (ELTE Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Sociology), the Biography and Society Research Committee (RC38) of the International Sociological Association (ISA) and CEU Democracy Institute.

The participation fee for the entire 3 days is 50 Euros (or 20000 Ft), including lunch and snacks during coffee breaks.
