Hi Everyone,
I'm Rose Stambe, and I'm the convenor for the Applied Sociology TG. Last year was incredibly busy for me (and for everyone else too!), but I'm hoping to make 2026 a more active year for the group.
Applied Sociology spans a huge range of work in community research, policy, practice, consulting, and advocacy. It's great to have a space where people doing this kind of work can connect, share what they are up to, and support each other.
A couple of things I'm planning:
- A quarterly newsletter to keep members in the loop on each other's work, relevant opportunities and CFPs.
- An informal meetup at the TASA conference in November
- An application for the Gary Bouma Memorial Workshop Funding to a 2027 event.
To get the ball rolling, I'd love to hear from you:
- Is there anything you're working on that you'd like to share with the group?
- Is there a topic or focus for a workshop that you are particularly interested in that would also be interesting for the TG?
Feel free to reply to my work email r.stambe@griffith.edu.au.
Reminders
Individual abstracts for the 2026 TASA conference are due 24 April 2026.
