In the SSSP, a wealth of ground-breaking work has begun to accumulate that deepens our understanding of power relations, enriches social constructionism with social movement theory, and struggles in earnest to reunite fluid social processes with political economy. The challenge now before us is to push forward and preserve the critical leading edge of this theorizing as we move beyond our aging paradigms to actively engage and “subvert” the global structures of 21 st Century capitalism. As a collective project of scholar-activists, the SSSP is all about making real social change happen. In New York City, we invite participants to challenge established views and contemplate the limits of existing approaches to social problems, including those of social constructionism. To that end, we are organizing panels, thematic sessions, and special events to explore alternative and more advanced ways to confront the contemporary structures of globalized capitalism that so insidiously shape our social problems. All of this requires a revitalized sociological imagination. It requires of us a renewed emphasis on collective response and strategy to complement critical analysis. The historical moment demands that we as academics and social practitioners work in better tandem with social movements to help concretize emerging visions of another possible world. Our task is a big one. We call on progressive analysts and social practitioners alike to join us in New York City to collectively reimagine social problems in a space where you can “say it out loud.” The venue for the occasion could not possibly offer more food for thought. From Harlem to Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty to Ground Zero, Staten Island to the Bronx, Brooklyn to the Hudson River, Coney Island to the Village, Queens to el Barrio, Broadway to the United Nations, Central Park to Battery Park, it’s all in New York City. And all connected by one subway transport system that greets you at your hotel doorstep on Times Square! So, be sure to pack your sociological imagination when you come to “occupy” your place in the Big Apple! R.A.
