The world is changing in many ways and at great speed, particularly in the economic, ecological, industrial and political spheres. This change inevitably triggers major changes in the social, cultural, economic, political, environmental and cultural structure of today's society. This multifaceted and rapid change/transformation of the world is dragging all structures and relations into great uncertainty, and the utopias of the past are turning into possible dystopias one by one.
All these uncertainties, transformations and possible dystopian social structures involve the discipline of sociology. While some titles and methodological approaches of sociology are losing their importance, they are being replaced by new titles or some existing titles are becoming more hybrid.
The Future of Sociology, Sociology of the Future Congress held on April 27-28, 2023 discussed the future of sociology and how the future of sociology will be shaped in the light of new topics and areas of discussion, while at the same time trying to address the potential futures of the present by resorting to sociological imagination.
