2) 2007 ASA Call for Papers for Student Forum Sessions
The American Sociological Association welcomes the participation of graduate and undergraduate students at the 2007 Annual Meeting in New York City. Special arrangements for students include discounted registration fees, special housing blocks, and sessions co-sponsored by the ASA Student Forum and the 2007 Program Committee.
While all sessions listed in the Call for Papers are open to submissions from students, there are three paper sessions, one roundtable session, and a professional workshop sponsored by the ASA Student Forum and geared specifically towards students. Interested student authors should note that student forum sessions operate under the same guidelines as regular sessions and are subject to the submission criteria, deadlines, and program policies listed in the 2007 Call for Papers.
For the 2007 Annual Meeting, the Student Forum Advisory Board (SFAB) is calling for papers to fill three (3) Student Paper Sessions and one (1) Student Roundtable Session. All sessions are open, and the topics of the final sessions will be based on any themes that emerge from the more developed student submissions. Student papers not included in one of the above three Student Paper Sessions will be considered for inclusion in the Student Roundtable Session.
To submit a paper to the Student Forum Sessions, go to the online Call for Papers on the ASA website, enter the online submission system, and select “Student Forum Sessions” when presented with the option to select a submission destination. All student papers must be submitted via the online submission system by January 17, 2007.
Student participants should note that: 1) only completed papers are eligible for full consideration; 2) authors may present in only one Student Forum session; and 3)authors/co-authors who decline to present their papers must notify the chair of the SFAB’s Program Committee, Lindsay Howden (lhowden@neo.tamu.edu).
3) Call for Ideas for Workshop
We are soliciting ideas for a workshop for the annual meeting in New York. We are open to any topics (i.e. professionalization, publishing, etc.). Send ideas to Danielle Hidalgo at daniellehidalgo@mac.com.
