CBSM Workshop
The Collective Behavior and Social Movement (CBSM) Section of the ASA is organizing a workshop on social movements this summer. We are eager to have extensive graduate student participation. The workshop will be held at Hofstra University Thursday August 9th and Friday August 10th, 2007. The theme of the workshop is “Movement Cultures, Strategies, and Outcomes.” Graduate students at all stages of their education are encouraged to participate in the workshop as volunteers and presenters. Graduate students are highly encouraged to submit abstracts to participate in the program. We welcome the submission of papers presented at other conferences (including the upcoming ASA national conference in New York City) so long as they are consistent with the workshop’s theme of “Movement Cultures, Strategies, and Outcomes.”Submit your abstract and/or paper to cbsm2007@hotmail.com by February 15, 2007. Please attach a Microsoft Word document containing an abstract of no more than 250 words. For full information on the workshop’s call for papers and schedule of panels, visit our website: www.hofstra.edu/CBSM.We also need volunteers for a range of activities including: planning elements of the workshop staffing registration tables, and taking minutes at the sessions. Volunteering at the event offers an excellent opportunity to learn more about the CBSM section as well as to meet other social movement scholars at all stages in their careers.To learn more about being a volunteer at the workshop or to help plan the event, please email Rachel Kutz-Flamenbaum at rflamenb@ic.sunysb.edu.
