- Papers that report on museum-related topics such as collecting, socio-cultural trends, cultural policy, social memory, time, heritage and tourism but where the main theme may not be museums.
- Papers that focus on how museum research has been informed by key sociological concepts, e.g. social class, cultural capital, globalization, post-colonialism, post-modernism, or methods/approaches, such as ethnography, STS, Actor-Network Theory or visual methods.
- Papers that deal critically with social theorists whose ideas have influenced museum studies in recent years and which assess their contributions to the field.
- Papers that explore the role of the sociological imagination within museums (exhibitions and displays) and the impact of sociology on museum practice.
