This call for abstracts based in the Research Institute Social Cohesion (RISC, in German Forschungsinstitut Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt, FGZ) strongly encourages reflections on societal or social cohesion considering diverse life conditions. The call is open to authors from within and outside the RISC. Contributions are not geographically restricted to any country or region. We welcome theoretical as well as empirical approaches, general or specific discussions.
