The 2012 ASA Section on Teaching and Learning Pre-Conference Workshop," The Art at the Heart of Learner-Centered Teaching ", will be held from 8:00am to 5:00pm on Thursday August 16, 2012 in Denver, Colorado.
Through engagement with experienced colleagues and with each other, keynotes, panels, discussions, roundtables and networking are designed to provide an integrated learning experience grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning. We invite colleagues at the earlier stages of their teaching careers who are particularly dedicated to the science and art of teaching sociology to become part of this community of scholarly teachers.

The application form is available here.http://www2.asanet.org/sectionteach/annual-mtg.html

Call for Papers/Abstracts: Race/Ethnicity section for the Social
Science History Association (SSHA)
We serve as co-chairs of the Race/Ethnicity section for the Social
Science History Association (SSHA). The meeting is scheduled to take
place in Vancouver, Canada, November 1-4, 2012. Our theme this year is
"Histories of Capitalism."
Our main goal is to structure sessions so that they explicitly draw on
an interdisciplinary group of scholars who hail from different
institutions. The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 1
2011. Note, all SSHA requires at this point is an abstract. You can
find more information at: http://www.ssha.org/, including the Call for
Papers.
We are hoping to put together a number of sessions related to the
conference site that were discussed at the planning meeting:
Indigenous Communities, Land Rights and Natural Resources
The Rise and Decline of Multiculturalism and/or Cosmopolitanism
Race and Collective Violence
Anti-Asian Discrimination and Asian Integration on the West Coast
The Underground Railroad
Racialized Immigration Policy
Bilingualism and Racialized Language Struggles
Conflicts and Contradictions in Anglo-French Conceptions of Race
Multiracial Identities and Racial Boundaries in Historical Perspective
Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism in Contemporary America
Race and Capitalism
Race and Eugenics
You are welcome to submit papers regarding any of these topics, or on
a topic relating to your own research. If you are interested in
putting together an entire session, let us know and we would be happy
to provide you with details as to how to do this. Feel free to forward
this call widely, particularly to graduate students (there is funding
available for graduate students to travel to the conference which can
be found at http://www.ssha.org/grants).
We also had three wonderful Author Meets Critics panels at the 2011
session and are looking to "recreate the magic" this year in
Vancouver. So if you have read any great books that you would like to
seen discussed and meet the author, please let us know. Or if you
would just like to volunteer to be a critic for books to be decided
within the next month, please let us know.
Finally, please feel free to check our Facebook page, which you can
find by searching for "Race/Ethnicity Network - Social Science History
Association."
If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email:

For the open-submission/non-thematic section, submissions appropriate to any of the three broad foci reflected in the series title will be considered.
The special section of Volume 33 will focus on “new” and “old” media in social movements, conflicts, and change.

Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change (RSMCC) is a fully peer-reviewed series of original research that has been published annually for over 30 years. We continue to publish the work of many of the leading scholars in social movements, social change, and peace and conflict studies. Although RSMCC enjoys a wide library subscription base for the book versions, all volumes are now published both in book form and are also available online to subscribing libraries through Emerald Insight. This ensures wider distribution and easier online access to your scholarship while maintaining the esteemed book series at the same time.
RSMCC boasts quick turn-around times, generally communicating peer reviewed-informed decisions within 10-12 weeks of receipt of submissions.
To be considered for inclusion in Volume 33, papers should arrive by May 16, 2011.
Send submissions as a WORD document attached to an email to BOTH Jennifer Earl and Dena Rohlinger, guest RSMCC editors for Volume 33, at jearl@soc.ucsb.edu and drohling@fsu.edu.

We live in a distinct time —war in the midst of the call for peace, economic recession during unprecedented growth of corporate wealth, continued environmental devastation as oil dependency heightens, food insecurity amidst gluttony, and the entrenchment of institutionalized inequality when we seek justice. At this historical juncture, how then shall we proceed? Santa Fe, the oldest capitol city in the U.S., provides a unique meeting place to vision the future. Literally, Santa Fe is the crossroads of the Pueblo, the Navajo, the Mexican, the Spaniard and the Anglo people. Santa Fe is also the hub of art in the southwest: all forms and styles of sculpture, painting, photography and music coalesce here. Please join us to examine this distinct time, to explore these crossroads, and to forge a way forward.

The series takes an international perspective, exploring social problems in various parts of the world, with the central concern being always their possible remedy. Work is welcomed on subjects as diverse as environmental damage, terrorism, economic disparities and economic devastation, poverty, inequalities, domestic assaults and sexual abuse, health care, natural disasters, labour inequality, animal abuse, crime, and mental illness and its treatment. In addition to recommending solutions to social problems, the books in this series are theoretically sophisticated, exploring previous discussions of the issues in question, examining other attempts to resolve them, and adopting and discussing methodologies that are commonly used to measure social problems. Proposed solutions may be framed as changes in policy or practice, or more broadly as social change and social movement. Solutions may be reflective of ideology, but are always pragmatic and detailed, explaining the means by which the suggested solutions might be achieved.

Influenced and constrained by an empiricist framework for funding and promotion that marginalizes the work of the imagination, it is no accident that academic social theorists often leave it up to science fiction writers and film-makers to articulate transformative visions. Fiction and film are particularly able to engage the imagination and heart: the very dimensions that inspire attachment to the cultural theatre of sport and that drive social criticism of these powerful institutions. This special issue will provide a unique space to showcase alternative visions of sport – both macro and micro – and strategies for transformation that emerge from/ground critical sport perspectives. The following is a (non-exclusive) list of possible topics that are welcome in this special issue: Manuscript Submission Guidelines: The Journal of Sport & Social Issues publishes the work and ideas of scholars and others interested in understanding the relationship between sport and society from diverse theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. Contributors should submit manuscripts via email to the Guest Editor. Manuscripts must be double-spaced, following the style guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Manuscripts will undergo blind review. Authorship should be identified only on the title page. Author name/address/affiliation/position should appear on the title page. Manuscripts should be prefaced by an abstract of no more than 125 words. References, tables, and figures should appear at the end of the manuscript. Notes should be avoided. Figures should be camera ready. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Initial submissions will be reviewed by the guest editor and if judged suitable then placed for double-blind review. Articles should be no more than 5,000 words in length. The Guest Editor will send an acknowledgement upon receipt - please query via email address below if acknowledgement is not received shortly after submission. One author should be clearly identified on jointly authored articles as the main administrative contact for the submission. Papers should be submitted via e-mail by January 1, 2011. This special issue is scheduled to be published in late 2011 or early 2012. Any questions about the special issue can be directed to the guest editor, Ann Travers.
