Hello Applied Sociology Members!
Can you believe that we are nearly at the end of 2026? This will be the last newsletter for the year. I hope everyone's research, projects, advocacy are running smoothly, without a frantic race to the end of the year.
TASA 2026 Conference
The TASA conference is just around the corner in the gorgeous Sunshine Coast. I won't be able to make it this year unfortunately, but I hope the members that do enjoy an intellectually stimulating time and get to network and / or catch up with colleagues and friends. Please feel free to let me know how it went, and I'd be happy to share with the TG.
Events
Dr Josephine Clarke (UMelb) and myself have been talking for some time about a workshop on applied sociology. Next year, we plan to do some events on a larger scale, but to end the year there will be an applied sociology roundtable here in Brisbane at the Griffith University South Bank campus on 10 December 10am-12:30pm. The roundtable will explore what applied sociology means and looks like today from people's experiences applying, translating, and negotiating sociological theories and methods in diverse settings. The roundtable is a hybrid event,however, in-person spots are limited. If you are interested please register here: https://events.humanitix.com/revisiting-applied-sociological-practice-in-australia
If you have any events, or materials you'd like to share with the TG or you would like to introduce yourself and your research please reach out!
Very best wishes,
Rose
