“Ukrainian society and sociologists in front of the challenges of war and post-war development”: essays by the “Junior Sociologist of the Year” contestants. (English)

The tenth of December is a special date in the life of the national sociological community. It is a birth anniversary of Natalia Panina (1949-2006), one of the most prominent figures in the history of sociological thought of the independent Ukraine. N. Panina's contribution is powerful and diverse: from the design/adaptation of a number of techniques for studying social processes and phenomena in a transitional society to the publication of a manual on public opinion polls, as well as the construction of a sample representative of Ukraine's adult population. Having initiated and supervised a long-term nationwide project ("Measuring social changes in Ukrainian society. Sociological monitoring"), Natalia Panina was awarded (unfortunately, posthumously) the State Prize in Science and Technology; being a dedicated researcher and an active citizen enabled her to become the Head of the Professional Ethics Commission of the Sociological Association of Ukraine. The idea of holding an essay contest among early-career scholars also belongs to N. Panina. Such an activity would, in Panina's view, encourage the spirit of inquiry in young researchers and motivate them to share their findings. Paying homage to Natalia Panina, the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine organises both the essay contest and an academic conference (known as "International Sociological Readings") at which the contest winners and runners-up are announced. An honorary title of the "Junior Sociologist of the Year" is conferred on the author of the best essay. The works of all contestants are published - either as a separate section of the conference proceedings or as a stand-alone article in the "Sociology: Theory, Methods, Marketing" journal. The offered collection contains six essays submitted to the Contest Jury this year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
