Prerecorded Session

This professional development session offers presentations from eight established scholars from different global regions speaking about their biographical, professional, and epistemological journeys. They answer questions sent in by ISA Student Members - from how they started in sociology to tips of doing research and publishing in their respective fields. Speakers offer insights into navigating the constraints of a career in the academe and collaborating with other scholars, or into engaging publics to foster change in society. This professional development session aims to enhance dialogue and debates among a global community of early career and senior sociologists and offer emerging sociologists some models to which they can imagine themselves in the future.

Each senior sociologist recorded their answers to these questions. The recordings can be viewed under "Recorded Presentations" by clicking on the name of the sociologist whose talk you would like to watch.
