Conference: Work, Employment and Society Conference 2025
Organization: British Sociological Association
Date: 8–10 September 2025
Place: Manchester, UK

To advance discussions regarding the sociology of work and employment, we must better understand the underpinnings of continuities and discontinuities and their role in facing unknowns and navigating uncertainties. Furthermore, we must explore their implications for understanding relational practices, norms, established routines, arrangements, structures, dynamics and processes, including taken-for-granted assumptions and accepted grand narratives about work and employment.

The theme for the 2025 Conference is Continuities and Discontinuities in Work and Employment. The conference promises to be dynamic, informative and inspiring, and is definitely not to be missed. Our themes are deliberately broad and all-encompassing and are designed to appeal to the entire spectrum of sociologists so as to stimulate lively debate. Our speakers are at the heart of research regarding this discipline and their voices are very important. Please come along and join the finest scholars from across the globe who will be leading the debate. Policymakers will also be in attendance to hear what our speakers—those with real experience in this field—have to say.

The following open access journals will be represented:

• Social Sciences;
• Societies;
• Youth;
• Merits.

If you plan on attending this conference, please feel free to stop by our booth. Our delegates look forward to meeting you in person to answer any questions you may have.
