BOOK SERIES ON SOUTHERN EUROPEAN SOCIETIES
Series Editors: Dr Manuel Fernández-Esquinas, Institute for Advanced
Social Studies, CSIC and Dr Laura Oso, Faculty of Sociology, University of
La Coruña, Spain
Series Aim
The aim of the book series on Southern European Societies is to conduct research in social dynamics, social problems, institutions and governance in the South of Europe. The books are intended to be authoritative projects addressing major social issues, not only in academic terms, but also to inform public policies at both a European level and national level. Each book in the series will appeal to a broad international audience, and the series editors particularly welcome projects with a comparative element.
Each book will include a collection of state-of-the-art analyses and applied research into the social problems and dynamics of southern European countries and the neighbouring areas. Comparative research between regions and countries of the South of Europe and other areas of Europe, the north of Africa and the Middle East is also welcome depending on the relevance for the topics under study.
Topics Covered
The main topics will be related to social problems of common interest for several countries of southern Europe and other areas. The Series Editors welcome submissions on topics such as: social welfare, work and employment, migrations, education, science and innovation, political participation, gender and youth, inequalities and social exclusion, EU integration and convergence, European identities, social relationships, institutions and policies, among other key topics.
The topics will be grounded mainly in sociological perspectives defined from a broad point of view, including any kind of theoretical or methodological approach that is relevant for addressing a specific issue. The book series will be open to interdisciplinary approaches and collaboration with related social sciences such as education, anthropology, social policy and others.
Length
The books are expected to be of between 80,000 and 100,000 words, including figures and references.
The series editors welcome proposals for both authored and edited works.
Network support
The book series is supported by the active collaboration of RESU (The Network of Sociology Associations of Countries of the South of Europe) and the ESA Research Network on “Southern European Societies”.

RN37 Midterm Conference (Madrid 2018): “Inequality and uncertainty: current challenges for cities” – Call for Papers
For the third mid-term conference of the Research Network 37 – Urban Sociology, we propose inequality and uncertainty as terms to guide our reflections about urban realities. Both inequalities and uncertainties impact everyday practices, individual and communal identities, fears and (im)possibilities, as well as visions of the future. Both are clearly evident in today’s urban contexts.
It is not possible to ignore the fact that cities are not only moving, vibrant and flourishing spaces, promising hope for better quality of life, but also accumulate and reflect significant problems. We need to recognise the complexity of economic, political, social, cultural and environmental mechanisms, which strengthen existing inequalities and add a great deal of uncertainty to life in cities and urban spaces of the globalised world. We want to gain a better understanding of the impact and consequences of inequality and uncertainty on the urban arena as much as the responses to current challenges in terms of both informal and institutional practices.
Inequalities and uncertainty as the key-questions of the conference can be discussed in the relation to the following topics:
1. Visibility and invisibility of urban inequalities and uncertainty
2. Individual and collective strategies of coping with contemporary urban challenges at the neighbourhood level
3. Class, gender, age and ethnicity as factors of inequalities and uncertainty
4. Urban policies and institutional effectiveness in times of crisis
5. Social responses to crisis – from everyday life practices to contemporary urban social movements
6. Spatiality and the new geographies of inequalities and uncertainty
7. (Im)mobility of urban inequalities – urban inequalities of (im)mobility
8. Urban sustainability and global environmental crisis
9. Innovative methodological contributions of urban sociology for studies on social inequalities and uncertainty
In this conference we also wish to celebrate and bring into the discussion the works of two social scientists who greatly contributed to Urban Sociology and Urban Studies in general: Lefebvre and Simmel. In that sense, we propose two additional topics:
10. Reading Henri Lefebvre’s “The Right to the City”, 50 years later.
11. Georg Simmel (1858-1918): reflecting on his multiple contributions for Urban Sociology
We kindly invite you to contribute to our third mid-term conference that will take place in Madrid in June 2018. We welcome proposals exploring theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues. An abstract in English of maximum 300 words should be submitted by esarn37.hypotheses.org (see also direct abstract submission system link on the next page) from December, 4th to January, 28th. Papers will be grouped thematically by the programme committee.
We look forward to welcoming you at the RN 37 mid-term conference. Check our blog: https://esarn37.hypotheses.org and facebook: @esarn37 for updates.

O VI Colóquio Internacional Outros Sentidos para Novas Cidadanias vem celebrar, na sua sexta edição, o encerramento de mais um projeto de sucesso desenvolvido no âmbito do CIIE – Centro de Investigação e Intervenção Educativas.

Neste colóquio procuraremos refletir e debater criticamente os resultados e desafios colocados por esta pesquisa dentro do contexto português e também na esfera europeia.
Investigadores/as, estudantes e decisores políticos interessados/as na educação e particularmente no fenómeno do abandono escolar precoce são desafiados a participar nesta conferência e torná-la num momento de debate e reflexão. A conferência principal será realizada por Madeleine Arnot da Universidade de Cambridge.
