Call for Papers: SASE 2023, “Network A: Community, Democracy, and Organizations”

On By Julia DessauerIn Calls for Papers, ConferencesLeave a comment

Please consider submitting a 500-word abstract or a panel of abstracts relating to community, democracy, and organizations for Network A of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) annual meeting. The 2023 annual meeting is primarily an in-person conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 20-22, 2023, but we do have a very limited number of virtual presentation slots available online July 11-13, 2023. 

Our network focuses on the moral or values-based underpinnings of human thought, practices, and institutions that comprise civil societies, particularly as they relate to the participatory, collectivist, and democratic aspirations of organizations, markets, and other spaces of collaboration and contestation. We examine how communities, enterprises, and societies can be organized around principles of democratic governance or other substantive values that go beyond calculative self-interest and instrumental relations. In particular, we welcome submissions relating to: (1) how groups and initiatives promote social change, through formal organizations, informal groups, prefigurative organizations, decentralized projects, participatory decision-making, and various forms of shared ownership; and (2) how collectivities reinforce prevailing conventions of hierarchical, bureaucratic, and profit-driven organizational structures and markets. To learn more about our network, please read here.

If you are interested in presenting in person or virtually, please submit your paper title(s) and abstract(s) to https://auth.oxfordabstracts.com/?redirect=/stages/3551/submitter (select “Network A: Community, Democracy, and Organizations”) by the hard deadline of February 1, 2023. Early Career workshop applicants should submit full papers and other materials, as specified here. For more information about the conference, visit https://sase.org/event/2023-rio-de-janeiro. To join our Network A listserv, visit https://inthefray.org/list. We look forward to reading your submissions!

Call for Papers: Future of Activism Research Workshop (April 21 & 22, 2023), Sponsored by the Ford Center of the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

On By Dilan ErenIn Calls for PapersLeave a comment

Social movement activism continues to play a prominent role in politics, business, and culture. On the politics side, movements such as Black Lives Matter on the left and the Covid policy resistance movement on the right have been prominent. In business, #MeToo has significantly shaped workplace policies at the same time that the labor movement has experienced a resurgence. Culturally, activism has bled into the kinds of media we consume and become an integral part of individuals’ online lives. These movement “moments” have been accompanied by new types of resources (e.g., transnational organizational networks) and tactics available to activists (e.g., social media campaigns). Now is a good time to reflect on the question of: what next? The purpose of this conference will be to highlight new scholarship on social movement activists who are shaping our political, economic, and cultural worlds, with a key focus on how these worlds are being reshaped by technologies and changes to social and conventional media. We are also interested in the changing ideological landscape of social movements, including the consequences of polarization.

On April 21 and 22, 2023, at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, we will convene a small number of scholars in a workshop to present and discuss their research on the current and future directions of activism. The conference will be an intimate gathering and will allow for rich and in-depth discussion of the papers. If you are interested in participating in the workshop, please submit a 1-2 page abstract by January 30. You can upload your abstract at this link (https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/32747b615d684693a13d6379ee0da31f). The abstract should contain a description of both the empirical context, theoretical perspective, and analytic approach of the paper. Prior to the workshop, we will ask participants to share a working paper with all other workshop participants. The Ford Center will provide lodging and subsidize the travel costs for one author of each paper presented at the workshop. We expect to accept between 10-12 papers. If you have any questions about the workshop, feel free to reach out to the organizers, Brayden King (b-king@kellogg.northwestern.edu) and Ed Walker (walker@soc.ucla.edu).

Call for Submissions: The 2023 Annual Junior Theorists Symposium! 

On By Dilan ErenIn Calls for Papers, Calls for Participants, Calls for ProposalsLeave a comment


​SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 1st, 11:59pm Eastern Time

The 17th Junior Theorists Symposium (JTS) is now open to new submissions. The JTS is a conference featuring the work of emerging sociologists engaged in theoretical work, broadly defined. Sponsored in part by the Theory Section of the ASA, the conference has provided a platform for the work of early-career sociologists since 2005. We especially welcome submissions that broaden the practice of theory beyond its traditional themes, topics, and disciplinary function.

The symposium will be held as an in-person event on Thursday, August 17 prior to the 2023 ASA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA.  

SUBMIT YOUR PRÉCIS HERE
 
It is our honor to announce that Claire Decoteau (University of Illinois-Chicago), Greta Krippner (University of Michigan), and Victor Ray (University of Iowa) will serve as discussants for this year’s symposium. Daniel Hirschman (Cornell University), winner of the 2022 Junior Theorist Award, will deliver a keynote address. Finally, the symposium will include an after-panel titled “Why Theorize?” This panel will seek to bring scholars, thinkers, and doers into conversation to explore convergences, tensions, and a range of possible responses to the question: why theorize?

We invite all ABD graduate students, recent PhDs, postdocs, and assistant professors who received their PhDs from 2019 onwards to submit up to a three-page précis (800-1000 words). The précis should include the key theoretical contribution of the paper and a general outline of the argument.

Successful précis from last year’s symposium can be viewed here.

Please note that the précis must be for a paper that is not under review or forthcoming at a journal.

As in previous years, there is no pre-specified theme for the conference. Papers will be grouped into sessions based on emergent themes and discussants’ areas of interest and expertise. We invite submissions from all substantive areas of sociology, we especially encourage papers that are works-in-progress and would benefit from the discussions at JTS.

Please remove all identifying information from your précis and submit it via the Google form below. Wendy Li (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Jon Shaffer (Johns Hopkins University) will review the anonymized submissions. You can also contact them at juniortheorists@gmail.com with any questions. By early April, we will extend 9 invitations to present at JTS 2023. Please plan to share a full paper by July 7, 2023. 

*Presenters should plan to attend in-person, though this may change based on the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you have any issues uploading your document, please send a copy of your précis with all identifying information removed to juniortheorists@gmail.com. Please include your name and affiliation (University and Department) in the body of the email.
