Following The Seoul Conference 2014, EARN's first joint initiative has been confirmed for publication. Thanks to the active cooperation and participation of EARN's scholars, the dialogue papers will be published in the January 2015 issue of Current Sociology.
Among the many excellent papers submitted, five were selected. In addition, Professor Ulrich Beck's main paper and response paper and Professor Sang-Jin Han's paper as the dialogue organizer will also be part of the papers for the upcoming special issue.
