The European Consortium for Social Research (ECSR) and the European Science Foundation (ESF) TransEurope Research Network will be joining forces in 2007 to host a two-day conference to be held in Groningen, the Netherlands on September 01 and 02, 2007.

The aim of the conference, entitled Globalization, Social Inequality and the Life Course, is to bring together empirical researchers working in the area of social inequality and the life course and its relation to macro-level changes such as globalization, Europeanization and transnationalization. The conference does not limit itself to one topic, and features presentations on all relevant areas of sociological research, such as the labor market, work and employment, organizations, education, family sociology and social stratification in general. The conference comprises papers that describe recent changes in social inequalities in modern societies, compare generations or countries, develop explanatory models to understand these developments in various welfare contexts or design measures to capture the processes of globalization, transnationalization or Europeanization.
