Streetlife: The Shifting Sociologies of the Street symposium

Streetlife: The Shifting Sociologies of the Street symposium – University of Kent (Medway Campus) Tuesday 15 September 2015, 10.00 – 18.00. This symposium – and a subsequent special issue of Sociological Review – will act as a spur to take the street more seriously in contemporary sociology, and will demonstrate the value of a more careful scrutiny of the importance of the street as a site, scale and field for sociological research. For its relevance to sensory studies, note in particular Monica Degen’s keynote ‘Sensing street atmospheres: reflections on methods’.
