Since
its foundation in 1975, the Sociology of Religion Study Group
has become the second largest discipline study group within the
British Sociological Association (BSA).
The
Study Group's annual conferences attract a wide range of specialists
and and non-specialists in contemporary religious issues and the
sociology of religion. Conferences provide a forum not only for
internationally renowned scholars in the field, but also increasingly
for young academics and post-graduate students. A particular concern
of the Study Group is to encouage younger members of the Group
and to increase the profile of the Sociology of Religion within
Sociology.
