You can follow Nick on Twitter or listen to him talking sociology fortnightly on ABC Hobart Radio with Helen Shield.
TASA Executive member Nicholas Hookway is our Public Engagement Portfolio Leader. Nick is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology in the School of Social Sciences. His research focuses on how morality, identity and giving behaviours are being reshaped by wider social change. Nick uses empirical case studies, including kindness, volunteering and ethical consumption to answer big questions about how processes of individualism, consumerism and technological change are transforming Western societies.
If you haven't met Nick, you can meet him at TASA 2019 in November, Sydney.
Meet Families and Relationships Thematic Group Co-Convener Kris Natalier of Flinders University:
Kris's work centres on the gendered nature of familial and intimate relationships as lived experiences and as sites of policy intervention. Specifically, I use qualitative methods to analyze how people make sense of the joys and challenges of negotiating intimate relationships in the context of personal and social change.
The Families and Relationships thematic group provides a forum to showcase sociological research on families and relationships and opportunities to bring theoretical insights, empirical research and policy discussions together in conversation and debate.
Meet Families and Relationships Thematic Group Co-Convener Ashley Barnwell of Melbourne University:
Ashley's an ARC DECRA Fellow working on the project ‘Family Secrets, National Silences: Intergenerational Memory in Settler Colonial Australia'. This project aims to investigate the inherited family secrets, stories, and memories that inform Australian's understandings of colonial history.
If you haven't already, you can meet Kris and Ashley, at TASA 2019 in November, Sydney.

Members' Publications
Catherine Waldby (2019) The Oocyte Economy:
The Changing Meaning of Human Eggs. Duke University Press.
Books
In recent years increasing numbers of women from wealthy countries have turned to egg donation, egg freezing, and in vitro fertilization to become pregnant, especially later in life. This trend has created new ways of using, exchanging, and understanding oocytes—the reproductive cells specific to women. In The Oocyte EconomyCatherine Waldby draws on 130 interviews---with scientists, clinicians, and women who have either donated or frozen their oocytes or received those of another woman---to trace how the history of human oocytes' perceived value intersects with the biological and social life of women. Demonstrating how oocytes have come to be understood as discrete and scarce biomedical objects open to valuation, management, and exchange, Waldby examines the global market for oocytes and the power dynamics between recipients and the often younger and poorer donors. With this exploration of the oocyte economy and its contemporary biopolitical significance, Waldby rethinks the relationship between fertility, gendered experience, and biomedical innovation.

TASA Public Lecture
AI is not what you think Speaker: Anthony Elliott In this provocative lecture, Cambridge-trained sociologist Anthony Elliott argues that much of what passes for conventional wisdom about the AI Revolution is either illconsidered or plain wrong. The reason? AI is not so much about the future, but is rather a revolution already well underway – albeit one which is unfolding in complex and uneven ways across the globe. From industrial robots to chatbots, and from driverless cars to military drones – AI, Elliott argues, is transforming all aspects of our lives, from the most intimate aspects of personal relationships to the changing nature of work, employment and unemployment. September 11, 6:00pm, Adelaide. Read on... Event Flyer

Public Trust in Social Media
Public Trust in Social Media Seminiar. Social media are now firmly embedded in the daily lives of many people, as channels for connection, as sources of news and information, and as archives of personal memories. At the same time, public trust in social media companies has plummeted in the wake of data breaches and scandals about how our personal data is being used to profile us. How do we reconcile our reliance on social media with our distrust? How might the governance of social media platforms change in the future? Can social media play a role in a better future for our world? This event will explore these questions and more. Come and join us for an open dialogue led by a panel of world-leading researchers studying the impacts of social media. September 10 5:30 - 7:00pm, Monash Conference Centre, Melbourne.

The International Sociological Association has undertaken the development of the Global Mapping of Sociologists for Social Inclusion (GMSSI) to create the global database of sociologists.
GMSSI aims to identify, connect, and enable global collaborations in sociology, and support sociologists who encounter multiple barriers, economic and political, which impede participation in global exchanges.
GMSSI aims to increase the visibility of sociologists and their knowledge production and also be an important resource for sustained interaction with the media on a range of issues.
Your participation is important to the success of GMSSI in building this global sociological community.
To start: Go to https://isaconf.confex.com/isaconf/gmssi/callforparticipants.cgi where ISA briefly explain what the site is about and where there is a link to sign in or sign up. You do not need to be an ISA member to be listed on the GMSSI
