Call for contributions for RC02 Newsletter

Dear RC02 members,

ISA's Economy and Society Research Committee (RC02) publishes bi-annual newsletters, offering a valuable platform to showcase your research, disseminate key findings, and forge collaborations. We warmly invite you to contribute to our upcoming RC02 Newsletter.

Submitting a short piece to the RC02 Newsletter offers you the opportunity to connect with a global audience of sociologists, scholars, and policymakers across diverse geographical areas. It allows you to forge meaningful connections with fellow researchers, cultivate innovative ideas, participate in or initiate impactful debates within your field, and enhance the visibility of your work on a broader stage.

The 5th ISA Forum session organisers are invited to send us a 500-word summary of their session to be included in the upcoming newsletter.

We will also continue to include a feature to introduce our new members. If you join RC02 after 1st December 2024, we'd love to share your short biographies with the community! Please complete this Google form (hyperlink) by Friday 31st May 2025.

We are also keen to hear from you about:

·       New research, whether your own or noteworthy work in your field that you'd like to discuss.

·       Insights from conferences, panels, research networks, or other significant events you've been part of.

·       Fresh perspectives or innovative approaches to contemporary economic and societal issues.

·       Your informed opinions on news or developments within your area of expertise.

·       Reflections on recent shifts in policy and legal frameworks.

·       And more! Share any other compelling insights or ideas you may have.

RC02 newsletters include short pieces written in an essay format with a maximum length of 950 words (or 7,000 characters including spaces). Please use endnotes rather than footnotes in your piece. When you're ready, please send your submission to Ece Kocabıçak [ece.kocabicak@open.ac.uk] by Friday, May 31st 2025.

Stay connected with us on social media (@RC02_ISA) and subscribe to our weekly updates for the latest announcements.

Very best,

Ece KOCABIÇAK, Executive Secretary, The Open University, ece.kocabicak@open.ac.uk
