2014 CONFERENCE THEME: “Encouraging Inclusiveness in Doing Sociology: Public and Private, Applied and Clinical” We come together once a year as applied, clinical, practicing, and public sociologists. In practice, we see our responsibility as having our work matter – having sociological ideas get used in the world to effect positive social change, or to help systems function as well as possible in their current forms. So how do we start making a difference? How about submitting creative sessions to this year’s annual conference? You can share your research, policy work, teaching, activism, clinical experience, or other applications that are helping sociology to make a difference in the world and, hopefully, to be recognized for it. You are welcome to submit completed papers as well as works in progress, workshops, and panel discussions, all standard fare at conferences. But what we really want is for you think creatively about how to engage an audience, imagining yourself and your audience as participants in: clinical practice a policy-oriented think tank a board of directors meeting business or client relationships negotiation of a research or evaluation study an advisory role for a foundation, government agency, or non-profit crafting a practice-oriented sociology department data-based organizational decision-making institutional research Also, consider your co-presenters in creative ways. How about including service providers and practitioners, grant funding agency representatives, organizational clients in clinical relationships, board members, federal, state and local political officials? How about a mock accreditation panel with sociology department staff? How about a mock clinical negotiation or a negotiation with a granting agency about its funding priorities? With these creative goals in mind, we encourage interactive and informal formats rather than formal paper presentations. Below are forms for submitting sessions and individual “papers” to this year’s conference (use a separate form for each session or paper proposed and be sure to use the appropriate proposal form). Full sessions will run 1½ hours. Individual paper presentations will last 15-20 minutes. We hope you’ll consider sharing your knowledge about and interest in the practice of sociology with us in October. Some possible session themes are provided below, but feel free to think outside-thebox. We love surprises!
