Sociological Futures aims to be a flagship for new and innovative theories, methods and approaches to
sociological issues and debates and ‘the social’ in the 21st century. This series of monographs and edited
collections was inspired by vibrant wealth of BSA symposia on a wide variety of sociological themes. Edited by a
team of experienced sociological researchers, and supported by the BSA, it covers a wide range of topics related
to sociology and sociological research and will feature contemporary work that is theoretically and
methodologically innovative, has local or global reach, as well as work that engages or reengages with classic
debates in sociology bringing new perspectives to important and relevant topics.
The BSA is the professional association for sociologists and sociological research in the United Kingdom, with its
extensive network of members, study groups and forums, and its dynamic programme of events. The
Association engages with topics ranging from auto/biography to youth, climate change to violence against
women, alcohol to sport, and Bourdieu to Weber. This book series represents the fruits of sociological enquiry,
reaching a global audience, and offering a publication outlet for sociologists at all career and publishing stages,
from the well-established to emerging sociologists, BSA or non-BSA members, from all parts of the world.
