RC 25 LANGUAGE & SOCIETY. CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS. THE SECOND ISA FORUM OF SOCIOLOGY
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA. AUGUST 1-4, 2012
The Research Committee on Language and Society, RC 25, of the International Sociological Association (ISA) is calling for proposals for panel sessions—both for the RC and joint-session proposals. In keeping with the ISA conference theme, Social Justice and Democratization, the RC 25 theme for the Second Forum of Sociology for 2012 is The Language of Justice. RC 25 conceives of studies of language broadly and welcomes all varieties of sociological analyses of language/representation. We encourage proposals that take
up issues of study or debate that regard language, talk, signification, or other forms of communication. Please submit an abstract of (350 words maximum) by June 1, 2011. All abstracts will be evaluated by the following criteria:
• Relevance to the RC25 mission and the conference themes
• Relevance to general ISA membership
• Potential for regional diversity on the panel
• Willingness of the person proposing the session to serve as chair and discussant. (Scholars may not present papers in sessions where they serve as discussant.) Potential organizers should be aware of two key deadlines.
• RC 25 will submit a list of sessions & chairs to the ISA by July 15, 2011
• Abstract submissions will be accepted through a new online system from
August 25-December 15, 2011
Please send all proposals to both program organizers:
Celine-Marie Pascale, American University, USA pascale@american.edu
Amado Alarcón, Rovira & Virgili University, Spain, Amado.alarcon@urv.net
