General information on the Research Network
The Sociology of Education research network organized several sessions at the
Helsinki-conference. The aim was to provide a forum for diverse educational research,
ranging from broad comparative research to everyday practices and processes in school and
in further and higher education. The kinds of themes which have emerged in earlier
conference sessions on this topic are:
Education and transition in Europe; Social Justice and Democracy in Education; Making the
Difference, Bridging the Difference; From Educational Attainment to Family Relations, but
we welcome further suggestions.
