The theme of the 2026 Annual Finnish Sociology Conference is Community Futures. The concept of community invites us to return to foundational questions, the core concerns of sociology, how we live together. The conference explores communities in their diverse and complex forms and opens up different research approaches to how communities are imagined and reimagined—both now and in the future.

Keynote speakers: Vanessa May, Charlotte Kroløkke, Tero Toivanen, Juhana Venäläinen, Pieta Savinotko, Tuomo Alhojärvi and Ella Lillqvist
