Postgraduate Forum

The British Sociological Association’s Postgraduate Forum is here to support postgraduate students. We are an informal network of postgraduate BSA members with an interest in sociological research. There are more than 350 members across many disciplines including sociology, education, business, education, geography, and criminology. A group of convenors keep members informed of topics likely to be of interest.
