The Department of Sociology in Lund is hosting the ESA research network conference called "ARTS IN MOVEMENT" or the "2022 ESA RN02 Sociology of the Arts Mid-term Conference 14-16 September 2022"!
ESA, the European Sociological Association, holds 37 research networks, one of which is "Sociology of the Arts" (RN02) and it is their bi-annual conference that is happening right now in our Department of Sociology building in Lund.
Today (Wednesday) the conference will start with a PhD student day and on Thursday and Friday there will be paper presentations, panels, keynotes and workshops.
Keynote speakers are Marta Herrero from the University of York in the UK, who will give her talk on "Disruptions of corporate art sponsorship: A sociology of art, protest and emotions" and Oleksandra Nenko from the University of the Arts in Finland, whose keynote is titled "Between therapy and ideology: artistic representations of war in Ukraine".
Even staff not attending the conference can look forward to bumping into some interesting new people by the coffee machine or in the corridors. On Thursday evening there will be a chance to mingle around a few book launches in the staff room. Main organiser at the department Chris Mathieu says in an email to all staff:
– Many ESA members are affiliated with several research networks, so you may see people you know, or new people worth getting to know.
Chris Mathieu and Magnus Ring from the Department of Sociology, Marthe Nehl from the Department of Service Management, plus seven volunteers from the student association Doxa will be guiding the guests around the house and around Lund.
