Call for applications for the
2010 SPSSI-EASP small group meeting
"Forgotten Alternatives: Denaturalizing Injustice and Exclusion"
March 17-19, 2010
Graduate Center, City University of New York
We welcome applications to attend a small group meeting, Forgotten Alternatives: Denaturalizing Injustice and Exclusion, organized by Michelle Fine, Susan Opotow, Xenia Chryssochoou, and Dario Spini. This joint meeting of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) and European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) will be held at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York from 17 to19 March 2010.
At this meeting, we will address the naturalization of unjust conditions, the process of revealing injustice, and moves that stir change and activate resistance to injustice. We seek to convene participants whose research on injustice is situated in a variety of social contexts and who will bring well articulated and diverse methodological approaches and theoretical orientations to this meeting. The conference will include seminar papers and discussions, lectures by key public intellectuals, the exploration of similar questions in the arts, and a cultural event.
To apply, send a 500 word abstract about a central concept you have been investigating. Instances of injustice may be historical or contemporary; gross or banal; intimate or state sponsored; violent or symbolic. Your abstract should develop the concept theoretically and introduce your research program. The conference application should also include a published article or chapter that speaks to the methodological and/or theoretical approaches in your work and a brief CV or bionote (1-2 pp) that includes your contact information and SPSSI and/or EASP membership status.
Send your application to Kristi Gamarel by 27 October 2009.
