[社會科學] 43國社會學者齊聚台北 面對世界不平等 國際社會學會(ISA)舉行會員國會議

[社會科學] 43國社會學者齊聚台北 面對世界不平等 國際社會學會(ISA)舉行會員國會議

全球資源分配不均與不平等的挑戰,越形嚴峻。此逐漸嚴重的差異化現象,同時反映於「北方」社會學的優勢霸權,以及不均衡的社會學發展,也因而成為國際社會學者的普遍關注議題。

由中研院社會學研究所、臺灣社會學會以及國際社會學會(International Sociological Association, ISA)所共同舉辦的「直擊不平等、挑戰社會學:國際社會學會‧會員國學會代表研討會」("FACING AN UNEQUAL WORLD: CHALLENGES FOR SOCIOLOGY", The Conference of the Council of National Associations of the ISA, Taipei 2009),將自98年3月23日至25日於中研院人文社會科學館3樓國際會議廳舉行。會中共有43國50位社會學家齊聚台北,發表46篇論文。

大會主題探討社會學在世界各地的發展,及世界資源分配不均衡此一現象如何影響各國社會學在國際階層化以及國內分化等發展不均的問題。一方面呼應國際社會學會對於發展與不平等議題的長期關懷,另一方面則與不同地區卅國家社會學界間逐漸增長的鴻溝差距問題緊密扣連。此外,大會更設置「社會學在台灣」討論專題,希望本土社會學的發展經驗能夠提供給與會的各國學者不同的啟發與反思。

本次大會由擔任國際社會學會(ISA)副會長及會員國學會代表大會主席的加州大學教授Michael Burawoy、大會臺灣籌備委員會共同規劃,臺灣社會學會及中央研究院社會所共同主辦,會中邀請ISA會長Michel Wieviorka、前副會長Sujata Patel發表專題演講,並邀請國際科學總會選任會長(elected president of the ICSU)李遠哲院士致開幕詞。

本次大會參與的會員國涵蓋歐、美、非、亞各大洲的社會學會,而臺灣社會學會作為國際學術社群的一員,與國際學術社群之交流互動愈加頻繁與深化,有更進一步的發展。

國際社會學會(ISA)係於1949年在聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO)的贊助下成立,是當代規模最大、參與人數最多的世界社會學的組織。ISA由理事會治理,理事分別由「會員國代表會議」及「研究委員會會議」推舉。每四年舉行一次大會,歷次大會我國社會學界均有十數人參加,並扮演積極的專業參與角色。

[Social Sciecne] Sociologists from 43 Countries Gather in Taipei to Tackle Academic Inequality in the Field of Sociology

Sociologists from 43 countries will gather in Taipei from 23rd-Mar. to 25th-Mar., 2009, to tackle the problem of academic inequality and unequal distribution of resources (journals, research funds and so on) between the sociologists in the industrialized and developing world.

The scholars will convene at the 2009 Conference of the Council of National Associations of the International Sociological Association (ISA) which is entitled "Facing an unequal world: challenges for sociology." The topic of the conference is borne out of ISA's long-term concern for building an "international sociology" and responds to the rising concerns of growing inequality.

The conference has been organized jointly by Academia Sinica's Institute of Sociology, the Taiwanese Sociological Association and the Council of National Associations of the ISA, and was initiated and planned by Prof. Michael Burawoy, ISA Vice President for Committee of National Associations of the ISA. It will take place at the International Conference Hall, in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building at Academia Sinica. Prof. Michel Wieviorka, the President of ISA, and Sujata Patal, former Vice President of ISA will give keynote addresses.

ISA is a non-profit association for scientific purposes in the field of sociology and social sciences. It was founded in 1949 under UNESCO and currently has members from 109 countries. The mission of the ISA is to "represent sociologists everywhere, regardless of their school of thought, scientific approaches or ideological opinion, and to advance sociological knowledge throughout the world."

The current conference is the second Conference of the Council of National Associations of the ISA. The first took place at Florida International University, Miami, USA in 2005.
