After a very good meeting in Urbino, I trust that the participants have all returned to their countries very happy and well rested.
Now we will start working towards our next meeting in Gothenburg.
The call for papers and a provisional list of sessions for RC51 can be viewed at http://www.isa-sociology.org/congress2010/rc/rc51.htm.
If you are a session organiser, the assumption is that you will definitely be attending the conference. Please let me know as soon as possible if this is not the case.
If you wish to present a paper, please submit an extended abstract (500-1000 words) and a short abstract (250 words) to me for review by the abstracts committee, with a copy to the session organiser. The deadline for submission of abstracts is OCTOBER 30th. To assist the work of the abstracts committee, if possible please submit earlier than this date. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out in early January or earlier, depending on how well the work of reviewing proceeds.
If session organisers receive submissions directly, please will they ensure I receive a copy so it can be forwarded to the abstracts committee.
Please note that all details of the RC51 programme of sessions and presentations must be received by the ISA by January 31st, 2010, so there is very little leeway in our schedule.
Once a paper proposal has been accepted and the presenter(s) have registered for the Congress, the presenter can upload the short abstract to the Congress website. The deadline for registration and for uploading of accepted abstracts is May 4, 2010.

With best wishes,
Margarita Maass
