* Submission deadline extended to February 15 * *** Sorry for cross-posting *** Dear colleagues, In my function as coordinator of the ESA Research Network 21 “Quantitative Methods” I want to draw your attention to our specific Call for Abstracts for the next European Sociological Association conference in Athens (29th of August to 1st of September 2017). The general call for papers for the next ESA conference in Athens includes our specific call (please see: http://www.europeansociology.org/). We tried to adapt our Call for Abstracts to the general conference theme but we are also open for general methodological contributions and we have space to develop alternative sessions which are not already included in the program. You are highly welcome to submit an abstract to our research network and to join us in Athens! This works via https://www.conftool.pro/esa2017/ After completing registration and selecting our Network (RN 21), you see the list of our planned session. Please feel free to submit also abstracts which do not fit accordingly to our list of session. It is maybe the easiest way to place them under "General Session". Every participant is only allowed to upload one abstracts to a specific RN at the ESA conference this time. The abstract should not exceed 250 words. The deadline for submissions is the 1st of February 2017! We are looking forward to your contributions! Best regards, Wolfgang Assoz.-Prof. MMag.
