>SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION CONFERENCE
>1999 Call for Papers
>
>The Sociology of Education Association is holding its 1999
>annual conference February 26-28 in Monterey, California. The
>title of the conference is: "Difference and Power: Issues of
>Race, Social Class, Gender and Language."
>
>This year we are pleased to have two keynote speakers:
>Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts, Boston and
>Roxana Ng, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.
>
>This year's theme focuses on power differentials stemming
>from distinctions in race/ethnicity, social class, gender,
>nationality and/or linguistic difference. The Sociology of
>Education Association is interested in theoretical and/or
>research based presentations discussing historic or
>contemporary sociological effects of difference and access to
>power. We are particularly interested in papers dealing with
>current social struggles surrounding such issues as Ebonics,
>Bilingual instruction, English-only movements, same gender
>schools, and the "new" segregation. We are well aware that
>some of these issues have become lightening rods for
>controversy and we encourage proponents and opponents to
>submit papers. The conference aims for a balanced
>presentation of theoretical and empirical sociological
>research on this topic, and will provide both formal and
>informal venues for discussion and the exchange of views.
>
>Those desiring to present should submit either a detailed 2-3
>page precis that includes a brief discussion of methods or a
>completed paper. The submission deadline is October 15th,
>1998.

>THE SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
>
>The Sociology of Education Association (SEA) is an informal
>group of scholars and educators from both the fields of
>sociology and education, who meet annually to engage in
>discussion of issues at the intersection of sociology and
>education. The SEA exists outside of the formal structure of
>any of the major professional associations. To belong to SEA
>you do not need to be a member of ASA, AERA, or any other
>organization. Dues are $15.00 per year which entitles you to
>a conference discount, access to the Sociology of Education
>Association LISTSERV, and any newsletters or mailings.
>
>The Mission of SEA is:
>
>1) to provide an inexpensive annual conference (held at
>Asilomar on the Monterey Bay Peninsula, California) in which
>colleagues from education, sociology, and other social
>sciences can come together for discussion of topics of common
>interest;
>
>2) to provide an organizing vehicle for people interested in
>education and sociology to get to know each other and to
>communicate outside of the conference;
>
>3) to introduce graduate students and new Ph.D.'s into this
>community of scholars;
>
>4) to serve as an information conduit for persons interested
>in education and sociology to hear about recent research, job
>openings, and other news of interest to the membership.
