Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk: Working in Sociological Traditions

In this session, four senior scholars will discuss the experience of working within particular sociological traditions. Given the diverse traditions involved and the differences of the speakers' personalities, the papers will no doubt vary greatly. But they may cover topics like what traditions are in the first place, how and whether one gets associated with a tradition, what are the advantages and disadvantages, merging or shifting one's tradition-identity, and so on. Beyond that loose agenda, the speakers are on their own. Our aim is to provide an entertaining but substantive opening to the meeting.
