2026 SASA CONGRESS CALL FOR PAPERS: Solidarity: Possibilities and Pitfalls

[Nomzamo Portia]

Greetings colleagues,

I trust this email finds you well as we begin the new year! We are so excited to share, alongside the WITS Local Organising Committee, the Call for Papers for the 2026 Congress. 

How to submit an abstract:
Abstracts should be submitted through the online submission portal: https://forms.gle/TRkdw4xprf9HVXUp9

There are two formats of presentation, panels and roundtables. The roundtable format is intended as a developmental space, especially for Honours or MA students who are presenting work which is at the proposal stage. Each roundtable will be chaired by a senior academic who will provide feedback and encourage conversation across papers. Panel presentations are intended for papers based on completed research or more advanced projects. However, you are free to choose which format you prefer.

For any questions please email: SASA2026....@wits.ac.za.

Deadline for abstract submission: 15 March 2026

Please note that the registration information will follow soon!

Yours in good faith, 

Dr. Nomzamo P. Ntombela 

PhD (SU), MA (MSU). 

Vice President - South African Sociological Association
