Become a British Sociological Association (BSA) Theory Study Group co-convenor!

Please consider joining the co-convening team of the BSA Theory Study Group and/or forwarding the call for co-convenors to colleagues who might be interested in taking on this role.

The Theory Study Group of the British Sociological Association needs new co-convenors! The current members of the convening team (Ioana Cerasella Chis, Joe Davidson, and Sebastian Raza) took on this role in July 2022 and we are now looking for (potentially three) BSA members to take up the torch and continue developing the Study Group in the coming years.

We are keen to ensure a smooth transition by passing on what we have learnt over the past three years. To that end, we invite expressions of interest from individuals or teams to join the current co-convening team in July 2025, with the expectation that the newly appointed convenors would take over the leadership of the group from July 2026.

However brilliant the ideas and social theories we read about and are inspired by, there is a glaring gap, surely.

What does sociology mean by social structure?
