TASA drop-in session – What’s Next?!

Hi TASA Youth thematic group,

Happy New Year! We hope you had a chance to rest and relax over the break, and that you’ve had a great start to the year.

We’re getting in touch to kick off our TASA Youth drop-in sessions for 2023. Our first session will be at 11am (AEDT) on Tuesday the 21^st of February, and our topic is ‘what’s next?!’. We know that many of you went to the TASA conference. You probably presented a paper and met some great people doing work in your area, but now what? What do you do with your conference paper, and how do you turn those meetings into a longer lasting network of collegial relationships, or even into a collaboration? Come along to our drop-in session to discuss all of this and more! You can RSVP to attend here. On the Eventbrite page you will also find a link to a form where you have the option to add specific questions/concerns for us to discuss in relation to the topic at the drop-in session. Please consider contributing to this so that we can focus on questions and concerns that are most relevant to you.

More broadly this year is shaping up to be a great one for sociology in Australia, with the ISA conference coming to Melbourne in late June. There are two pre-conference youth studies events that might be of interest:

• Consider submitting an abstract to Youth + Work symposium which will be held on Thursday 22^nd June – the week before ISA. Abstracts are due 13^th February.
• Consider adding to your diary ‘Mobile Transitions’: A Symposium on Global Youth, Transnational Mobilities and Transitions to Adulthood on Friday 23^rd June.

Yours,

Naomi, Ben and Julia.
