The Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) is seeking submissions for its 2025 conference in Montreal, 9-12 July 2025. The theme of the conference is Inclusive Solidarities: Reimagining Boundaries in Divided Times. Solidarity is a central value practiced across social and labor movements and a key principle underpinning social democracies. It is also a term with many meanings, referring to the cohesion of groups, the development of social policy and welfare states, or the goals and tactics of labor and social movement organizations. Solidarity in all its forms involves an act of political and social imagination – to identify who one is willing to act in solidarity with, or who are the members of one’s ‘imagined community’ (Anderson 1983). How community is defined, and how the boundaries around that community are drawn or imagined, have implications for who is included and excluded in collective action to redistribute power and resources, to demand rights, and to fight oppression. The 2025 SASE Annual Meeting welcomes submissions that engage with and beyond these themes — in our association’s tradition of multi-scalar, multi-disciplinary research that subjects a broad range of socio-economic developments and paradigms to critical analysis. We look forward to bringing together a diverse community of international scholars to join our SASE community in Montréal.
The Montreal conference will take place at the Palais des Congrès in the heart of downtown Montreal, 9-12 July 2025. There will also be virtual conference days the week before, 1-3 July. Most networks and all mini-conferences will organize a limited number of virtual events. SASE uses Oxford Abstracts for its submissions – if you already have an account, you can use it to submit. If not, you will be prompted to create an account.
It is possible to submit in two different categories: Individual Papers and Sessions. To submit an individual presentation, you must include an abstract. Please note: if your abstract submission is accepted, Networks A, E, J, L, N, and all mini-conferences recommend (but do not require) the submission of a full paper before the conference (deadline communicated by theme track organizers at a later date). Three kinds of sessions can be submitted: pre-formed panels with multiple paper presentations, roundtable discussion panels, and Book Salons.
Submission deadline: December 16, 2024.
