The Second ISA Forum is devoted to "Social Justice and Democratization" and will take place August 1-4, 2012 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It will provide an array of opportunities for a global dialogue about transformative change.

Sunnee Billingsley is a post-doctor at the University of Stockholm. She has worked on changes in fertility and mortality in the Russian population since the fall of communism. At AKS Billingsley will present a summary of developments within these important topics in recent decades. Do you know much about Russia? Probably not. Our biggest neighbour has been through enormous transformations in recent decades. The consequences: low fertility, high mortality.
Jeremy Freese (Northwestern, USA) gjester AKS-seminaret i november 2010. Freese er professor i sosiologi ved Northwestern University i Chicago, og er kjent som den for tiden ledende ekspert på sosiologiens og samfunnsvitenskapens respons til utviklingen i moderne genetikk og sosiobiologi. Han har publisert en rekke arbeider i topptidsskrifter omkring dette og tilstøtende tema, og holder i den anledning et foredrag over dette på AKS-seminaret.
Gianluca Manzo (Sorbonne, FR) gjester Oslo og ISS i oktober/november 2010. Han holder i den anledning et innlegg på AKS-seminaret med tittelen "Modelling Educational Stratification Mechanisms by Agent-based Models: an Application to French and Italian Data".
Hvordan utvikles ulikhet i utdanning over tid? Hvilke mekanismer er med? Hvordan samvirker disse mekanismene? Manzo bruker agentbaserte simuleringsmodeller til å gjenskape ulikhetsmønstre i Frankrike og Italia.
Til daglig er Gianluca Manzo forsker ved CNRS på Sorbonne i Paris.
Stadig senere fødsler og stadig mer komplekse familiemønstre er trekk ved utviklingen, ikke bare i Norge, men også USA og Storbritannia.
