Invited Session


This common session provides a space for perspectives from Africa and South Asia on the ISA Forum themes: Democracy, Environment, Inequalities, Intersectionnality. Based on recent research in their country and regional approaches, the panellist of this session will provide insights from the Global South to a better understanding of these four major global challenges, their interconnections and the way actors and researchers tackle them in different contexts. They will ask how our discipline has been meeting these four global challenges and it has been transformed by them. What are the new trends in global sociology that allow innovative analyses of these challenges? What are the main obstacles we face to tackle these problems? How can innovative sociological analyses contribute to grasp and to face our common problems in the Global Age?
