Sociology in the 21st century: Wellbeing, engagement and sustainability: Proceedings of the 2021 Sociological Association of Aotearoa New Zealand (SAANZ) Conference

Abstract

Lincoln University’s Faculty of Environment, Society and Design, and the University of Canterbury’s School of Language, Social and Political Sciences are delighted to welcome you to the 2021 SAANZ conference. Given it has been a long time since we were able to gather face-to-face, we are particularly excited about the opportunity to bring together sociologists across the country to showcase their work. The SAANZ 2021 Conference theme is 'Sociology in the 21st Century: Wellbeing, Engagement and Sustainability’ This reflects what has become important to many of us since COVID-19, as we realised the significance of engaging with one another and looking after ourselves and the planet. The conference features two keynotes speakers who embody these ideals through both their leadership and research.
