Attendees gather around the books at a Library of Social Science exhibit.

LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE is organizing a book exhibit for the 2016 congress of the International Rural Sociological Association (IRSA).

IRSA’s 2016 World Congress encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, exchange and collaboration in order to enhance the contributions of sociological inquiry for understanding and improving the lives of people located in and concerned about rural places and communities worldwide.

Topics examined include migration, environmental change, resource scarcity and social inequality, commodification, industrialization, neoliberalization and globalization.

Seeking paths toward more sustainable and just rural futures, attendees will analyze and assess the diverse aspirations and experiences of rural people and places. This is one of the best opportunities of the year to promote your titles on all aspects of rural sociology, economics, labor and ecology—and all sociological topics.

This year's Keynote and Plenary Speakers include Erik Olin Wright (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Henry Bernstein (SOAS), Jan Douwe van der Ploeg (Wageningen University), Teodor Shanin (Moscow School of Social & Economic Sciences), Harriet Friedman (University of Toronto), Ben White (IISS), Gerardo Otero (Simon Fraser University), Jennifer Clapp (University of Waterloo) and Hugh Campbell (University of Otago).

Space is limited. For details on exhibiting at the 2016 IRSA congress, please email Hugh Galford by clicking here.

The Library of Social Science book exhibit will be located at the center of the meeting space, near coffee and registration. The book exhibit will be open to attendees throughout the meeting, ensuring a steady flow of visitors.

Our professional exhibit managers will be on-site for the entire conference. We actively promote your titles by discussing books with conferees, distributing flyers and catalogs, selling books on-site using publisher-supplied order forms, and urging faculty to consider titles for course adoption and library acquisition.
