 CALL FOR PAPERS RN22 2025 MIDTERMWe are happy to share with you that the RN22 2025 Midterm will be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from 29-30th of October 2025. The day before, on October 28th, we will host a PhD workshop. The year 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of RN22. A milestone that invites reflection on two decades of pioneering sociological inquiry into the dynamics of risk and uncertainty in modern societies. This year’s theme ‘Caring During Crisis: Navigating Risk and Uncertainty in Health, Care and Beyond’ delves into the intersection of health, care, and crisis within the framework of risk sociology. Health and care systems are increasingly tested by cascading crises such as global pandemics, climate change, geopolitical instability, and socio-economic inequality. By foregrounding this theme the conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of how risk sociology can inform policies and practices that enhance practices of care during crisis and promote equitable health outcomes. But, as always, our midterm is explicitly open for other risk-themes as well. Please find the full Call for Papers here. Abstracts can be submitted until May 31st 2025 via the website. More information on the PhD workshop is here. Do not hesitate to email us at caringduringcrisis@eshpm.eur.nl in case of questions. Looking forward to meet you (again) in Rotterdam! |
