Annual Meeting
ASSOCIATION FOR HUMANIST SOCIOLOGY
November 1-5, 2017
Havana, Cuba
 
Imagining Possibilities: Humanists Connecting to Better Fight Oppression
 
As an organization the Association for Humanist Sociology (AHS) unapologetically stands for justice by working to make the world a safer and equitable place for all of its inhabitants. AHS members unceasingly reflect on our organization’s evolution as a collective body so that we may more consciously achieve our aims. AHS was established in 1976 by a group of sociologists, educators, scholars, and activists with the intent to help create a world that promotes social and economic justice, equality, and human decency.
 
No single individual or organization could possibly imagine a path that guarantees us a successful resolution of the oppressive challenges we now confront. New and more intense oppressive conditions require brave new commitments and energy to counter them.
 
With this foresight AHS will hold its 2017 annual conference in Havana, Cuba so that we may thoroughly immerse ourselves into processes which broaden our vision as academics and activists in the world. As such, AHS has partnered with the Faculty of Latin American Social Scientists at the University of Havana to engage in critical dialogue pertaining to a myriad of academic and activist nexuses.
 
In keeping with the conference theme we are seeking papers, panels, and plenaries that engage with how class, race, gender, and sexuality establish and maintain inequalities and domination in the United States and beyond. The upward concentration of wealth has expanded exponentially, threatening the sustainability of our eco-system, community, the dignity and joy of personhood, and the survival of humanity. The conference situates the importance of examining this set of developments with an eye toward moving in newly imagined directions.
 
We encourage potential participants to register early for this unique conference so travel and lodging arrangements can be made as early as possible. For additional information about AHS and our conference visit our webpage: https://www.humanist-sociology.org. Deadline to submit a 250 word abstract or proposal for a session is April 30th. Submissions should be sent to AHSCuba2017@gmail.com.

Community writing teachers, students, scholars, and activists are in the unique position to study and influence how writing, images, and ideas create impact and circulate to address the issues facing our communities—climate change, population movements related to climate and political instability, systemic misogyny, racially motivated police killings, mass incarceration, expansion of corporate rights, resurgence of anti-immigrant rhetorics, educational injustices, gun violence—from both scholarly and practical perspectives. We believe that we are at a crossroads for higher education, broadly, and for Rhetoric and Writing Studies, specifically, and we must engage deeply, through every facet of our work, with the task at hand, with the ecology in which we live, and with the other members of our ecology, to whom we are profoundly connected.

For the 2017 conference, we ask that you think of this evolving entity not only as an infrastructure but as an ecology. The second Conference on Community Writing will convene around the theme of “Engaging Networks and Ecologies.” This theme alludes to academic theories, but is also grounded in daily practice and lived experience. Networks mean people having relationships: teachers with students, activists with governance, community members with students, and so on, and these can be in real or virtual environments. Ecologies mean the places we live, the health of the bodies that make up communities, and the interconnectedness of humans, non-humans, things, and places.  We function within our community ecologies, however large or small in size.  It is clear that impacts in parts of our ecology reverberate and can resonate in other parts. We witness this through our work in environmental communication, community literacies, service-learning, community publishing, advocacy writing, archival research, community-based research, critical literacies, activist rhetorics, and the many other kinds of work we do both inside and outside of the academy.

We also want to invoke, through our conference theme, theories of ecological writing studies, and to suggest a more deliberate synergy between these theories and those of community writing.  Following the social turn in rhetoric and composition, and the subsequent attention given to postprocess theories of writing, “ecology” became an increasingly popular lens through which to understand writing, as in ecological models of writing and student positioning (Cooper; Syverson), ecocomposition (Dobrin and Weisser), rhetorical ecologies (Edbauer), and postcomposition (Dobrin).  By engaging with the complex writing and rhetorical ecologies of, for example, texts, images, hashtags, or memes discussing racially motivated killings or misogynist political discourse, or of responses both on the ground and over social media to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests or the Long Island University faculty lockout, community writing scholarship and praxis has the potential to help catalyze change in communities writ small and large.

With all of these theories and implications of the concepts of networks and ecologies in mind, we ask:

  • How can we apply or use ecological theories of writing as distributed, hyper-networked, circulatory, and remixed in order to strengthen our work to catalyze change in our communities?
  • How do concepts of rhetorical contagion (Seas) and theories of circulation of writing, images (Gries), and ideas impact the kinds of writing we have our students produce for public audiences?
  • How do these ecological theories enhance our conception of community writing, and how do they call us to rethink, throw out, or revise our conception of what community writing, however defined, is and does in the world?
  • How do our assignments and our pedagogy in general shift if we conceive of writing as system or ecology, rather than an individual product directed at an individual recipient?
  • How might new materialist and post-human theories impact our understanding of community writing’s scope, meaning, and potential impacts?
  • How do students come to understand the complexity of post-human, ecological writing theory?
  • How can we work to expand our networks and ecologies to include the voices and writings of historically and chronically marginalized members of our communities?
  • How might we define “community” or “writing” given 21st-century shifts in how communities coalesce and are maintained? How would these definitions inform our praxis?
  • What projects have you completed or envisioned that take advantage of digital technologies aiding community development?
  •  “Network” and “ecology” are both terms borrowed from other disciplines. How can other disciplinary knowledge influence the work of community writing?

We welcome proposals that address any of these questions or that interpret our theme in any number of ways.  Aca­d­e­mics of all lev­els, community partners, public intellectuals, activists, and students involved with engage­d pedagogy, research, activism, and social change are invited to submit a proposal for an indi­vid­ual paper, a pan­el of 3 or more pre­sen­ters, a roundtable discussion, an interactive work­shop, or a dig­i­tal “poster”  that will help us under­stand how writ­ing func­tions socially to inform, empower, and trans­form, as well as how we can engage networks and ecologies to sup­port community-based research, ped­agogy, and activism.

Diversities here refer to different identity markers such as ethnicity, religion, gender, social class, citizenship, disabilities, educational background and language(s). IJBIDE is clearly positioned within a non-essentialist and non-culturalist perspective. IJBIDE also aims to promote original research methods by linking up macro- and micro- methodological approaches. The journal is fully blind peer reviewed by the best experts in the field and publishes empirical and conceptual research and case studies from around the world.
