RC08 History of Sociology (host committee)

Language: Spanish and English

Session Type: Oral


The aim of this session is to discuss the history of sociology in the Global South. We welcome papers focused on different sociological traditions from Africa, Latin American and Asia, but we are especially interested in cross-national comparisons and studies on the circulation of ideas and intellectuals. We are also interested in papers which discuss the role of sociology in nation-building in the South, and the effects of the centre-periphery dynamics on knowledge production and science.
