Francois Depelteau, Chris Powell and Tatiana Savoia are organizing a panel on relational sociology for the next Congress of the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA). The congress will be in the nice town of Victoria, in B.C., Canada (between the Pacific Ocean the Rocky Mountains), from June 3 through June 8, 2013.
The panel is described in this way:
Networks, fields, figurations, discursive formations: these and other relational ideas have gained widespread currency in contemporary sociology, and a distinct relational sociology has been on the rise over the past decade and a half. But for this relational turn to lead to a fully-‐ fledged paradigm shift, fundamental questions must be addressed. Just what are relations, anyway? How do we observe and measure them? How does relational sociology extend or revise the achievements of more established sociologies? Just how deep a shift in our understanding of the sociological enterprise does a relational and reflexive framework entail? To develop a more comprehensive relational sociology, we solicit papers on principles, concepts, methods, advantages and limits of relational sociology. Included papers may address such topics as self-‐reflexivity, transactions, agency, interdependency, relational methodologies, and relational social structures or mechanisms or processes, interdisciplinary connections, and the implications of relational thinking for critical theory, amongst other possibilities.
Session Organizers: Christopher Powell, PhD, University of Manitoba, chris.powell@ad.umanitoba.ca;François Dépelteau, Laurentian University, fdepelteau@laurentian.ca; Tatiana Savoia Landini, Federal University of Sao Paulo, tatalan@uol.com.br

You are all invited to participate to this panel by presenting a paper or by simply showing up and participating to the discussions. This is the second year we are organizing a panel on this topic. This is a good oportunity to meet other Canadian relationists and by being in touch, hopefully we will be able to develop more activities and networking in the coming years.
