    SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

    SASA IS HERE TO HELP YOU PROMOTE YOUR EVENT   On this website the following statement can be found: “The Association is committed to the development of a vibrant social science community in Southern Africa which can make a meaningful contribution to the analysis of society in the context of these changes and challenges, with the aim of developing a just and equitable society.”   As the council, we know that it is impossible to realise this vision of a “vibrant social science community” without focusing on that idea of community. One of the ways we have decided to focus on this notion is by shining a light on what is already happening in the sociological and broader social science community in South (and southern) Africa.   One possible way to do this will be to use the SASA name and platform to promote activities that our members find relevant and important such as seminars, conferences, book launches and/or other events so that it could reach a greater audience (whether online or not). More specifically, we intend to dedicate a page on the SASA website and/or social media presence to promote these events.   It is our intention that by doing this SASA could contribute to the development of that envisioned “vibrant social science community” by promoting relevant social science events and scholarship.   Please send your announcements and notices to our Webmaster Mr Percyval Bayane [email protected] Or ask him or any member of our Executive Committee for further details of this facility....

The Southern African region has undergone rapid and fundamental changes in the last decade, and is faced with many challenges, including the democratisation of state and society, fighting the HIV/Aids epidemic through the creation of awareness, eradicating all spheres of society of racism and other forms of discrimination and inequality and attempting to engage in a globalising world, where the threat of ever increasing marginalisation is a reality. The Association is committed to the development of a vibrant social science community in Southern Africa which can make a meaningful contribution to the analysis of society in the context of these changes and challenges, with the aim of developing a just and equitable society....
