ECSR Annual Conference 2021

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the 2021 annual ECSR conference will be held online.
There is no specific theme for this year conference but, as always, we welcome presentations of the theoretically-driven empirical research (the trade mark of the ECSR) in various sociological areas, such as the labor market, education, gender, the family, migration and ethnicity, urban and spatial inequalities, time use, welfare state, political sociology, health and well-being, social mobility, and social stratification in general.
