Previous meetings
The Social Stratification Research Seminars have been running almost every autumn since 1968. Between 1968 and 2001 they were usually organised in Cambridge by Bob Blackburn and colleagues at the Social Science Research Group (formerly the Sociological Research Group), an organisation within the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge.
Since the early 2000's meetings have rotated between venues more often. Since 2003 we have held the seminar in Cambridge (2006, 2008-9, 2012-3, 2016, 2018), Amsterdam (2019), Cardiff (2003-5), Edinburgh (2014, 2017), Milan (2015), Stirling (2007, 2011, 2022-5) and Utrecht (2010). The seminar ran in online-only format in 2020 and 2021.
