Workshop on Question Database
The workshop on Question database organised by the Réseau Quetelet will take place in Paris on Friday, 28th January 2011.
It will be the occasion for data archives specialists and social scientists to share thoughts and experiences on this topic. Several data archives will present their existing application or their project toward question database. The comparison of these applications will certainly bring up fruitful discussions on challenges for research and data archiving.
Thirty Years after "Distinction"
The conference aims to examine the current relevancy of Pierre Bourdieu’s book Distinction in contemporary sociological research on topics as diverse as food practices, political attitudes, housing conditions, forms of residential and geographic mobility, attitudes in the areas of mores and the family, educational styles, cultural practices, etc. The cultural questions, which have undoubtedly retained more than other topics the attention of present-day readers of Distinction, will obviously be particularly focused on, but this thematic orientation is far from exclusive.
