Under the Coalition and Conservative governments over the past eight years, tuition fees for students have trebled, and are now among the highest in the world. The assessment of academics has become ever more rigorous and time-consuming: including both the Research Excellence Framework and a Teaching Excellence Framework, upon which funding and career prospects depend.
A Knowledge Exchange Framework is on the horizon. This places a bureaucratic load on sociologists and other academics, more than a third of whom are on temporary fixed-term contracts that may not lead to a permanent post. Recent proposals to change the terms of one of our main academic pension schemes led to a strike of academics in about half of British universities.
This led to employers agreeing to put their plans on hold pending a review of the pension situation. Sociology continues to thrive in spite of this.
It is taught in just over universities across the country and overall funding for it is still strong. The BSA is flourishing: our membership — around 2, — is the highest it has been for many years, as is the list of our activities: we organise around 60 events every year, ranging from small workshops in our London meeting room to our annual conference, with delegates. Sociology has an impact factor of 1. Last year we added a fourth journal to our portfolio, Sociological Research Online.
Last year we began publishing our 21st Century Standpoints book series, which brings important sociological work to non-specialist and academic audiences. We published books on working class education and on Brexit. Our Sociological Futures book series publishes monographs based on the various symposia we hold.
In we bought our first headquarters. Although Chancery Court is only across the road from our previous office in Durham, in the north of England, it is the first HQ we have owned our London meeting room, which we bought in , is for events only. The purchase is an important marker in our history and the history of sociology in the UK, as it is symbolic of longevity and permanency, providing more space for our events, archives and staff we now have 14 full time equivalents.
Over BSA members serve as trustees, study group convenors, publications editors, editorial board chairs, journal board members and peer reviewers, a testament to the commitment of sociologists to the discipline. There are a number of large doctoral programmes in sociology, and the discipline is closely involved in the Doctoral Training Partnerships established from onwards.
