The Research Committee 28 on Social Stratification and Mobility (RC28) of the International Sociological Association (ISA) invites all scholars working in the field of social stratification and social mobility to contribute to the 2025 RC28 Summer Conference.

The conference will take place August 4-7, 2025, beginning with an evening welcome reception on August 4, hosted by UCLA. The theme of the conference is “Social Inequality and Labor Market Restructuring.” Paper or poster submissions that address this theme are particularly encouraged, but all empirical and theory-driven submissions related to social stratification are welcome.

Please submit your extended abstract here.

Please prepare an extended abstract (max of 1000 words, not including references and tables/figures) that includes (1) a clear description of the research question, (2) the theoretical framework, (3) the data and methods, and (4) the main findings (including tables/figures). The abstract must be sufficiently detailed to allow the scientific committee to judge the merits of the paper.

Please also include up to 5 keywords and choose the preferred format (oral/poster) for your contribution during the submission process.

Abstracts must be submitted by February 17, 2025 (11:59 pm Pacific). Authors will be informed of the committee’s decision by April 2025. Please email rc28losangeles@gmail.com with any questions.

Conference participants may only present one paper, but can be co-authors on other paper submissions.

You do not need to be an RC28 member to submit your abstract, but you will have to be an RC28 member to participate.
