>Sociology of Education invites manuscript submissions for a thematic
>issue on the sociology of school and classroom language. Guest Editor
>for the issue is Professor Donna Eder of Indiana University. The
>teaching and learning that occurs in schools and classrooms is mediated
>by the written and oral communications among teachers and students. It
>is often through language that shared cultural interpretations are
>developed. Manuscripts that can illuminate a sociological understanding
>of formal and informal language practices in schools are welcome.
>
>Possible topics include the contribution of language to within-school
>stratification; the role of language in classroom learning; language
>and socialization processes; classroom language, power, and authority;
>the construction of ethnic, gender, and other social identities; and
>code-switching and other multicultural language practices. Manuscripts
>reporting field-based studies are preferred.
>
>The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2002. Manuscripts should be
