39th SASE Annual Conference 2027
Glasgow (Scotland) | 30 June – 3 July 2027
Rebuilding Foundations and Hope: Creative Reconstruction in a Moment of Disruption
The 39th Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) will be held at the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, Scotland, from 30 June to 3 July 2027. The conference will also include virtual events from 16 to 18 June 2027.
Under the theme Rebuilding Foundations and Hope: Creative Reconstruction in a Moment of Disruption, SASE 2027 will examine the profound economic, political and social transformations affecting contemporary societies and explore how institutions, communities and collective actors are responding to current processes of disruption.
The conference will address challenges including growing economic inequality, pressures on social protection and workers’ collective rights, financialisation, climate change, transformations in global trade, migration and the concentration of economic power. Particular attention will be paid to initiatives aimed at rebuilding institutional and social foundations capable of promoting shared prosperity and democratic resilience.
SASE provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working across sociology, political economy, economics and related social sciences. Its research networks cover a broad range of areas including labour markets and employment, comparative capitalisms, gender, work and family, digital economy, regulation of work, global value chains, inequality, governance and socio-economic development.
The 2027 conference will combine the permanent SASE research networks with thematic mini-conferences, providing a space for international and comparative research and dialogue on the changing relationship between economy, institutions and society.
SASE 2027 will be chaired by SASE President Marc Schneiberg. The conference will also feature invited speakers and an Early Career Workshop, which will take place on 29 June 2027.
