The 2015 theme should stimulate creative ideas about structural and/or cultural innovation, allow for diverse perspectives, and possibly promote engagement with other disciplines. Our conversations about new visions of human flourishing will likely involve a serious reconsideration of the meaning of terms such as responsibility, sustainability, morality, and love (even unlimited love for all others without exception). We invite papers, panels, workshops, and roundtables that explore new pathways to individual and collective thriving through sociological theory and research, teaching, and practice.

As always, we welcome presentations addressing this year’s theme, as well as a broad range of other substantive, theoretical, and applied sociological issues. We look forward to stimulating conversations and an exciting conference in Cleveland! See the detailed CALL FOR PAPERS for more information.
