PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
The Society for the Study of Social Problems
63rd Annual Meeting
August 9-11, 2013
The Westin New York at Times Square
270 West 43rd Street
2013 Theme: Re-imagining Social Problems: Moving Beyond Social Constructionism
R.A. Dello Buono, SSSP President 2012-2013
1
‘The question is not whether we should take sides,
since we inevitably will, but rather whose side we are on.’
Howard S. Becker, SSSP Presidential Address, 1966
‘However inadvertently, the societal reaction school purged
the elemental dialectic of resistance from social life.’
Francis Fox Piven, SSSP Presidential Address, 1980
‘How might we - as social scientists concerned with social
justice - also reinscribe and, thereby, also partially subvert
the networks of liquid CAPITAList power that engulf us daily?’
Stephen J. Pfohl, SSSP Presidential Address, 1992
‘Sociologists and other social scientists must quickly seize the day.
Our research and writings must move beyond criticizing new
privatization. We must imagine alternatives.’
Nancy C. Jurik, SSSP Presidential Address, 2003
As C. Wright Mills once wrote in a letter to E. P. Thompson: "I have to do it: it's my god-damned duty, because nobody else will
stand up and say shit out loud." Scarcely six decades have passed since Mills’ iconic voice fell silent. But his spirit lives on in the
SSSP and his insights have never been timelier. In 2013, the SSSP returns to New York City, the intellectual home of Mills and yes,
to Wall Street, one of the pillars he identified of the power elite that “characterizes the structure of our epoch.”
The unprecedented global crisis that has unfolded since Mills was “saying his shit out loud” now demands that we re-imagine the
way we understand the very nature of social problems. The sometimes subtle and always complex interrelationships between
personal troubles, public issues and global dilemmas have become re-arranged as substantially as have the structures of the
“power elite.” Problems rooted in the inadequacies of the Fordist welfare state were exacerbated by those based in the harsh
realities of the neoliberal life-cycle. This neoliberal system now finds itself rife with contradictions in the search for a postneoliberal
mode of global capitalist expansion. Social movements all around the world have mounted resistance to this
restructuring. Novel forms of protest like “Occupy Wall Street” help illustrate a broader trend towards transnationalized social
movement mobilization. From the Arab Spring and the leftist upsurge in Latin America to the anti-austerity trade union and
student movements stretching all across the global North, popular movements have engaged and impacted the structural path
of global development. Right-wing “populism” and Islamic fundamentalism have also shaped the broader political landscape,
putting forth conservative and reactionary platforms that pose as “solutions” to the everyday problems confronting poor and
working people.
We might recall an important insight of our founders, Al and Betty Lee, that social scientists have too often been caught running
behind the curve of social change. This thought was echoed by C.W. Mills in one of his earliest works where he was sharply critical
of “social pathologists” whose social problems textbooks dealt “in a fragmentary way with scattered problems and were not
focused on larger stratifications or upon structured whole… failing to consider whether or not certain groups or individuals
caught in economically underprivileged situations can possibly obtain the current goals without drastic shifts in the basic
institutions which channel and promote them.” This kind of structural, political economy approach put forward by Mills and
further developed by Gouldner and many other critical sociologists spawned important contributions just as it questioned our
own professional positioning as teachers, researchers and/or social practitioners. Meanwhile, social constructionist approaches
emerged and developed in a parallel trajectory during the later decades of the 20 th Century, offering their own powerful critiques
of the sociological mainstream.

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!

Welcome to the City of New York, The Big Apple!
Welcome to New York City, the most populous and diverse city in
the United States! Home to 8.2 million people, where over 800
languages are spoken, New York City is the definitive location for
scholars, activists, artists, or anyone with a sociological curiosity.
It has been the epicenter of some of the most important
uprisings and social movements in the world. The biggest
challenge for conference goers choosing to explore the Big Apple
will be deciding from the hundreds of fascinating historical sites,
museums, restaurants, entertainment, and other points of
interest the city has to offer.
The Museum of the City of New York (http://www.mcny.org/) is
a great place to start for an overview of New York City’s vibrant
activist history from the 17th century to the present day. The
Activist New York exhibition includes a range of artifacts,
photographs, audio and visual presentations on civil rights, labor,
gay and lesbian history, religious freedom, and historic
preservation movements. This museum also covers Occupy Wall
Street, which began in September 2011 with the encampment
of Zuccotti Park, equipped with a media room, cafeteria, and
“The Peoples’ Library.” Occupy Wall Street ignited a number of
important marches, including the march across the Brooklyn
Bridge during which the 99% “bat signal” was projected onto the
Verizon corporate building. More recently members of Occupy
Wall Street created Occupy Sandy Relief, which was praised for
being more organized and offering more support to Hurricane
Sandy victims than FEMA. Conference participants can make a
stop at Zuccotti Park on their own or join us in one of SSSP’s
panels on the movement, which will include members from
Occupy around the world.
SSSP members, who have signed up for the Big Onion Walking
Tours (http://www.bigonion.com/) can explore Historic Harlem’s
transformation from a Dutch village in the 1600s to the “Capital
of Black America” in the 1920s. Or stroll through Greenwich
Village for a tour of Gay and Lesbian History: Before Stonewall.
Those interested in labor history can also find points of interest
while in Greenwich Village. The site of the 1911 Triangle
Shirtwaist Factory fire is now part of New York University’s
campus at 23-29 Washington Place. The fire led to a wave of
labor protests, including the 120,000 person funeral procession
march organized by the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’
Union.
The Tenement Museum (http://www.tenement.org/) located on
the lower east side is a great way to learn about New York City’s
rich immigrant history. The museum offers walking tours,
discussions on sweatshop workers, and a lively “Meet the
Residents” tour performed by costumed interpreters. The
Statue of Liberty (http://www.nps.gov/stli/index.htm) and Ellis
Island (http://www.ellisisland.org/) are, of course, popular sites
for those who may have booked tours well in advance! Be aware
that both of these sites suffered extensive damage during
Hurricane Sandy and may be closed. If you miss out on those
experiences, you can still get a gorgeous view of the Statue and
New York Harbor by riding The Staten Island Ferry
(http://www.siferry.com/) at no charge. The ferry is located near
Battery Park, which is the departure area for the Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island. Once in Staten Island, you can simply
4
board a returning ferry or grab a taxi or bus to explore. Ferries to
and from Staten Island arrive consistently every half hour. Also
near Battery Park is The National Museum of the American
Indian (http://nmai.si.edu/visit/newyork/).
While in downtown Manhattan, visit the African Burial Ground
(http://www.nps.gov/afbg/index.htm). In the late 1700s, the
burial ground was covered during a landfill project and
rediscovered due to the construction of a federal office building
in 1991. The site is now considered a national monument.
For those interested in spending some relaxing time outdoors,
there is, of course, Central Park, where many summer concerts
are held. City residents and tourists often enjoy walking or biking
the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the beautiful High Line. The High
Line (http://www.thehighline.org/) was transformed from an
elevated rail line, which opened to trains in 1934, to a New York
City linear public park in 2009. For those interested in biking,
there are bicycle rental shops around the city (see
http://www.bikenewyork.org/advice/nyc-info/rental-bikeshops/)
allowing for a nice ride through Central Park or across
the Brooklyn Bridge. Many of New York’s major streets now
have dedicated bike lanes--often blocked off from traffic, to make
getting around safer (http://www.nycbikemaps.com/) and can
allow for an interesting self-guided meander, or there are
organized bike tours (e.g. http://bikethebigapple.com/) if you
would prefer some help getting around.
Some other very popular sites and entertainment include: the
9/11 Memorial (http://www.911memorial.org/), The Empire
State Building (http://www.esbnyc.com/), Broadway
(http://ppc.broadway.com/), The Museum of Modern Art
(http://www.moma.org/), The Metropolitan Art Museum
(http://www.metmuseum.org/), The Gugenheim Museum
(http://www.guggenheim.org/), Rockefeller Center
(http://www.rockefellercenter.com/), Discovery Times Square
(http://www.discoverytsx.com/), and The American Museum of
Natural History (http://www.amnh.org/) currently featuring Our
Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture. And you can even catch a
baseball game! The Detroit Tigers play the NY Yankees, August 9-
11th(http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=nyy).
Enjoy your time in one of the most fascinating cities in the world!

Welcome to New York City: A Guide for Graduate Students
(and everyone else on a budget!)
New York City is home to some of the best food, nightlife and
entertainment in the world and the best part about it (especially
if you are on-a-strict-budget graduate student like me) is that you
don’t have to break the bank in order to enjoy the rich variety
that its many neighborhoods have to offer! Below are some of
my favorite affordable options in Midtown (where the
conference is) and within walking distance of the conference,
then some ideas for a trip to Brooklyn. This is a very very limited
list, and I've written it as a starting place for exploring some of
NYC! Let’s start with Times Square:
Times Square: In the past 30 years, Time Square has “cleaned
up” since its seedy image and reality as being the home of peep
shows and hustlers in New York City. Now it is the home of
rampant commercialism and tourism, while also still being the
capital of Broadway and off-Broadway shows. The area that is
considered Times Square starts around 40th Street and extends
all the way to 47th Street along Broadway-- a fun fact about
Times Square is that approximately 300,000 people pass through
it daily! Unfortunately this does not mean that the food is
particularly good....but there are some good options in the area,
some are below-- though I don’t tend to eat around there so
can’t personally vet all of them!
For better-than-standard diner fare and as well as delicious
blintzes, matzo ball soup and kasha there is Cafe Edison, located
in the lobby of the Edison Hotel at 228 West 47th Street (close to
Broadway). If you like spicy food there is a Szechuan Gourmet at
21 W 39th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue-- delicious, cheap
and spicy! Cart food lovers are in luck because during the day,
and sometimes in the evening too, there are lots of good foodcarts
available—a good option for sitting on a bench and
watching the world go by while eating good cheap food! Look
around for the Briyani Cart- often located on West 46th and 6th
Avenue, the Desi Food Truck which is often on 50th Street. But
these locations vary so just keep your eyes open for these gems:
New Yorkers live off food-carts! You might check in with
http://nyctruckfood.com/ to see what is around the city, the
conference venue or where you may be at the moment. There is
also a ShackShack at 8th Avenue and 44th Street, and right in
Times Square there is an assortment of deli’s, pizza places, etc so
you won’t be hungry at all spending time there. For great
pastries and bread Amy’s Bread is a NYC favorite, though it is a
bit of a walk to 9th Avenue between 46th and 47th.
As for bars and nightlife in the area: if Broadway is your thing
then you are in luck! The best way to see cheap Broadway
shows is through the TKTS booth located in the center of Times
Square, here starting at 3pm, they sell discounted day-of
Broadway and off-Broadway tickets, often up to 50% off!
http://www.tdf.org/TDF_ServicePage.aspx?id=56.
If you want to grab an after-conference drink in the area there
are also plenty of options. If lots of craft, on tap and specialty
beer is your thing, then walk to Beer Authority at 40th Street
and 8th Avenue. They have over 35 beers on tap and over 70
beers to choose from http://www.beerauthoritynyc.com/.
5
If you would rather have a fancy cocktail then go to Rum House
(also in the Edison Hotel), or, to linger at a kitschy surf bar, check
out Reunion on 44th and 9th Avenue (go down the stairs).
But let’s get out of Times Square! Within walking distance
(though a bit of a walk) of Times Square on 32nd Street between
5th and 6th Avenue is Koreatown, which should satisfy your
craving for Korean BBQ, dumplings, hot stone rice bowl as well as
Korean karaoke! Wander up and down this jam packed block (as
well as 31st and 33rd) to find all of this; favorites here include
Mandoo Bar for dumplings at 2 West 32nd Street, Seoul Garden,
34 West 32nd Street, second floor, for stews and noodles, and
New York Kom Tang Kalbi House, 32 West 32nd Street for BBQ.
Favorite karaoke places include MK Karaoke (11 West 32nd
Street) and Karaoke Duet on 53 West 35th Street where you can
grab some friends, rent a by-the-hour room and belt it out to
your heart’s delight! It is therapeutic for stress, I swear...
If you are craving some delicious fancy-pants coffee while in this
part of town then you are also in luck! Birch Coffee at 5 West
27th Street (near 5th Avenue) is delicious and a great place to get
some work done-- check out their upstairs “library” room for
holing up and writing/ studying. If you want a quick West Coast
style coffee then check out Stumptown in the lobby of the Ace
Hotel at 20 West 29th; some people call it the best espresso in
the city.
While we are heading downtown lets head east a bit to another
favorite area of mine for eating: Curry Hill (really Murry Hill).
Here on a strip of Lexington Avenue from 26-28th Street you can
find some of the best Indian food in the city, and all of it very
affordable. My favorites here for a sit-down dinner or lunch are
Sarvanaa Bhanvan (81 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 26th
Street) for South Indian food (try a masala dosa or the South
Indian thali!), Chinese Mirch for Indo-Chinese food (corner of
28th and Lexington upstairs), Tiffan Wallah for an all-you-can-eat
lunch buffet (127 East 28th Street close to Lexington Avenue),
and Vatan (409 3rd Avenue at 29th Street) for a 3-course all-youcan-eat-prix-fix-don’t-eat-anything-the-day-of
vegetarian feast
(make reservations!). If you want really cheap Indian snack food/
taxi driver food then there is Curry in a Hurry also on 28th and
Lexington Avenue as well as Haandi (113 Lexington Avenue
between 27th and 28th Streets).
And finally, there are countless music festivals and other outdoor
events, often for free, throughout the city and close in areas
(check out the constantly changing lists at http://bit.ly/KDpP2X,
http://bit.ly/Mfav9n, or http://bit.ly/dlfaq. You can also find out
what on at the various clubs and bars in Manhattan; pick up a
copy of the current Time Out New York
(http://www.timeout.com/newyork), check out New York
magazine’s listings in print or online
(http://nymag.com/arts/music/), to see what is happening
around the city at any time. Anyone who says they are bored
and have nothing to do (aside from the wonderful sessions at the
conference) is just not trying hard enough!
Have more time and want to really experience the new New York
City? Let’s get out of Manhattan and head to Brooklyn for some
food and fun! It’s easy to get to Brooklyn via the MTA, or you can
head downtown to the Lower East side and walk across the
Brooklyn Bridge (passing the site where many argue the real
battle over Occupy Wall Street gained its national attention). For

the adventurous, you can travel between Manhattan and
Brooklyn by water taxi and ferry http://bit.ly/XNJOBn or in
general get information about traveling along the East River at
http://www.nywaterway.com/AboutERF.aspx.
Brooklyn is my home town (I was raised here and still live here!)
so I’ve seen it change a ton in the past 30 years. These changes
mean that Brooklyn is now home to some of the largest
increases in property values and changes in racial composition in
the whole country, meaning that a lot of Brooklyn has gentrified
and it is now home to some of the greatest disparities of wealth
in the USA. For a list of the top 25 gentrifying neighborhoods in
the country see http://bit.ly/KM5oCg, and for a map of changes
in property values see http://bit.ly/TIctEW. A good movie about
this is “My Brooklyn” which shows the differing ways real estate
and developers view Brooklyn (they salivate over property
values) as long-term residents are brought to tears about losing
neighbors and homes. I write all this to give some context for the
way Brooklyn looks and feels now and to give you something to
think about as you, hopefully, enjoy spending some time there,
but perhaps with a critical lens.
I recommend spending some time strolling through Prospect
Park (http://www.prospectpark.org/) also designed by Olmstead
(as Central Park was), Brooklyn—it’s like telling people that
Olmstead envisioned it as an improvement on Central Park—and
we certainly do think it is better! During the summer check out
what is happening at the Bandshell in the park for (mostly) free
music (http://bricartsmedia.org/performing-arts/celebratebrooklyn).
Or just bring a picnic and sit in the meadow or by the
lake and enjoy the world. If you come on a Saturday make sure
and check out the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza
(http://www.grownyc.org/grandarmygreenmarket) which is
within walking distance of both the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
(http://www.bbg.org/) and the Brooklyn Museum
(http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/) for food nearby go to
Franklin Avenue for some of the best Caribbean food in the city
(though this is fast disappearing as the avenue gentrifies) as well
as fancy pizza and Mexican food and cute coffee shops. Or, you
can wander over to the Williamsburg section of the city and stroll
among art galleries, coffee shops, and other interesting sights
and sounds in what is (for those growing up in NYC in the 50s) a
transplanted Greenwich Village.
If you want to see great live music some of my favorite places for
small and intimate shows are Barbes in Park Slope
(http://www.barbesbrooklyn.com/) and Pete’s Candy Store in
Williamsburg (http://www.petescandystore.com/home2.html)
for bigger shows check out Music Hall of Williamsburg
(http://www.musichallofwilliamsburg.com/) and for bowling and
live music check out Brooklyn Bowl
(http://www.brooklynbowl.com/tag/williamsburg/).
There is much much much more to do in Brooklyn but since you
will be here in the summer then I say take a trip to Coney Island
and go to the beach! Coney Island has long been a working-class
haven in the city for beach-goers and cheap recreation seekers.
Go to dip your feet in the ocean, enjoy people watching while
eating fries and a hotdog at Nathan’s on the boardwalk, then
take a ride on the Cyclone (one of the oldest roller coasters in the
country!) and round out the day by strolling down the boardwalk
6
to Brighton Beach for some Russian food. (To get there take the
B/Q/F trains to the end of the line!)
There is a lot not in this short guide (Chinatown! Queens!
Uptown!), we could write a book, many have already! But
hopefully this has given you a start for thinking of some ways to
enjoy the variety of food, cultural events and the life NYC has to
offer, and most of all I hope you leave loving it just a bit, the way I
do!

New York City Area Attractions
Summertime in the city, particularly in late July and early August,
can be very hot, so make sure to bring comfortable clothing and
drink plenty of water as you explore. However, even with the hot
temperatures, New York City in the summertime provides many
opportunities for entertainment and site-seeing! The hotel is
located in close proximity to several area attractions. Public
transpiration also allows annual meeting attendees the
opportunity to explore other neighborhoods farther afield. Here
are some attractions you may want to consider:
• Theatre District: The hotel is located in heart of New York’s
theatre district. You may want to consider attending an on
and off Broadway production! Check with the Concierge
7
desk at the hotel to arrange for tickets. Discount tickets may
also be available if you book far enough in advance.

and the Meadowlands Stadium are all easily accessible by
subway and Madison Square Garden (home of the New
York Knicks, New York Liberty, New York Rangers, and other
college and professional sporting events) is just blocks from
the hotel. The Yankees will be in town during and after the
annual meeting, playing the Detroit Tigers the 9th-11th and
the Angels the 12th-15th.

exceptional museums and art venues from contemporary
art to European masterpieces. Some of these museums
include the American Museum of Natural History, the
Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of the City of
New York. Visit the museum websites or visit the Concierge

Building, the 9/11 Memorial, the Central Park Zoo, and
many other NYC landmarks may be of interest to conference
participants. Consider scheduling a day to visit multiple area
attractions that are in the same area or easily accessed by

attractions require tickets and reservations, so plan ahead to
make sure you get the most out of your NYC experience!

Open Discussion of Resolutions
Being Proposed to the SSSP Board of Directors
Plan to attend the open forum of discussion where resolutions
will be presented for discussion among concerned members on

Friday, August 9 from 2:30pm-4:10pm. Each proposed
resolution will be presented by the sponsoring Division’s
Chairperson (or designated representative) and adequate time
for discussion will be properly allotted to each. All Division Chairs
should plan to participate in this session or designate a proxy
from their division if unable to attend.
To facilitate this process, all proposed resolutions, must be made
available to the SSSP Vice-President and Division Chair(s) by July

presented by Vice-President Tracy L. Dietz as a package for
approval for action by the attending membership. The
membership will vote on proposed resolutions that were
discussed and revised on the first day of the meeting. If
objections from the floor are raised to any specific resolution,
that resolution can, by majority vote of those present, be singled
out from the package, and voted on separately. Those present
can either support the resolution for approval as proposed or
decide to table the resolution for further discussion at the
subsequent annual meeting. For more information on the
resolutions process, visit
http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/m/528/Call_for_Resolutions/.

eclectic acts including The Lunachicks, They Might Be Giants, and
Janis Ian, Maul Girls offered a funky, chunky sound that the New
York Times called “high energy pop.” Having disbanded by the
Maullenium, they reunited for shows at NYC’s HOWL! Festival,
Dean Johnson’s Rock N’ Roll Fag Bar, and the Bowery Electric.
They are particularly honored to play at SSSP’s 2013 Annual
Meeting in support of UNiTE’s campaign to End Violence Against
Women! Reflecting on their 2007 HOWL! Festival performance,
Lucid Culture notes: “…their slightly askew mishmash of punk,
funk and pop pulled an impressively mixed crowd. Everybody
loved the Maul Girls because they rocked…and their songs were
catchy as hell. Tonight the crowd was a roiling sea of dancing
bodies….” Yes, indeed -Maul Girls are guaranteed to BRING DA
PARTY and they will ROCK SSSP’s world!!
Check them out at: http://www.maulgirls.com and UNiTE

be found on pages 16-24.
TEACHING SOCIAL PROBLEMS WORKSHOP (limit 30)
Thursday, August 8, 2:00pm-4:30pm, Location: Westin New
York at Times Square, $25 per person
This workshop presents a short history and overview of
definitions and best practices in course design, reflection,
developing community partnerships, and building from course
curriculum to institutional infrastructure. Participants will outline
a community-based learning course in small groups and then in
the larger group. In mapping out the course and projects,
participants will consider strengths and weaknesses, and the
opportunities and challenges they face. We’ll conclude with a
brief discussion about the “future” of service-learning and
current debates and controversies about partnerships, student
engagement, service versus research, and developing a social
justice paradigm.
INSTITUTIONAL ETHNOGRAPHY WORKSHOP (limit 50)
Monday, August 12, 9:00am-6:00pm, Location: Westin New
York at Times Square, $100 for employed registrants or $70 for
unemployed/activist and student registrants
This workshop will be of interest to all researchers who are using
or planning to use IE. The program will be focused on doing
analysis and ‘making change from below’. There will be select
opportunities for participants to discuss their work and to build
on the questions and innovations presented during the IE
conference sessions. Somewhat informal, the workshop will
involve variously experienced IE researchers who will be invited
to share their knowledge. The workshop will be designed to be
responsive to the needs of participants with opportunities to
discuss issues such as: how to formulate a topic for IE research;
preparing to enter the field; working with interviews and texts;
and organizing an analysis. It is hoped that there will also be for
experienced IE researchers to discuss advanced topics in IE.
MINI-CONFERENCE ON RE-IMAGINING HUMAN RIGHTS
Monday, August 12, 8:30am-5:15pm, Location: Westin New
York at Times Square, No fee to attend this conference.
This mini-conference brings together scholars, activists,
community organizers, and policy makers from around the world
to discuss innovative approaches to understanding human rights
practices. The aim of this conference is to foster critical thinking
about human rights, and to highlight attempts to de-center the
institutional production of human rights within regional settings.
The conference will devote special attention to grassroots
human rights projects and collaborative alliances operating in
New York City. Conference panels will emphasize research being
conducted in the Global South concerning alternative visions,
practices, and institutional arrangements promoting human
rights. Participants will engage in a transnational dialogue and
reflexive engagement across scholarly and activist communities.
MINI-CONFERENCE: LABOR AND GLOBAL SOLIDARITY–THE
US, CHINA AND BEYOND
Monday, August 12, 9:30am-6:30pm, Location: Joseph A.
Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies, City
University of New York, 19th Floor, 25 West 43rd Street, No fee
to attend this conference.
The Labor & Labor Movements Section of the ASA and the SSSP
present a one-day mini-conference that will bring together
scholars and practitioners to address the changing landscapes of
work and labor organizing from the local to the transnational.
Facing the global re-organization of production chains, the
expansion of precarious work, hostile political climates, and the
continued world-wide economic malaise, workers and their allies
nonetheless continue to act, from escalating unrest across China,
to new models of organizing in NYC, to greater cross-border
solidarity, North-South and South-South. The conference will
include panels on local, global and transnational labor issues and
organizing strategies. With a mix of activists and academics, the
mini-conference is an opportunity for international exchange.

Teaching Social Problems Workshop
Service-Learning, Community-Based Research and Civic Engagement Workshop
Engaging Students and Community in Public Sociology and Social Change
Co-sponsored by the Teaching Social Problems Division, SSSP Program Committee and
the Manhattan College Campus Ministry and Social Action
Thursday, August 8
2:00pm-4:30pm
The Westin New York at Times Square
Location: Nederlander, 9th floor
Presenter and Facilitator: Corey Dolgon, Stonehill College
Most educational research suggests that various forms of civic engagement—experiential education, service-learning and communitybased
research—are the most powerful pedagogies for almost any content area, as well as for learning about democratic participation,
citizenship, and other social indicators. George Kuh’s, “Assessing What Really Matters to Student Learning: Inside the National Survey of
Student Engagement,” and the AACU’s “High Impact Educational Practices,” state unequivocally that community based and civically
engaged learning has a powerful and effective result on increasing student learning outcomes. The AACU reports that, “In these
programs, field-based ‘experiential learning’ with community partners is an instructional strategy—and often a required part of the
course. The idea is to give students direct experience with issues they are studying in the curriculum and with ongoing efforts to analyze
and solve problems in the community. A key element in these programs is the opportunity students have to both apply what they are
learning in real-world settings and reflect in a classroom setting on their service experiences. These programs model the idea that giving
something back to the community is an important college outcome, and that working with community partners is good preparation for
citizenship, work, and life.”
This conference workshop presents a short history and overview of definitions and best practices in course design, reflection,
developing community partnerships, and building from course curriculum to institutional infrastructure. We will then ask participants to
outline a community-based learning course (either one they have taught already or one they are considering) to workshop in small
groups and then in the larger group. In mapping out the course and projects, we want participants to consider strengths and
weaknesses, and what they perceive as the opportunities and challenges they face. We’ll conclude with a brief discussion about the
“future” of service-learning and current debates and controversies about partnerships, student engagement, service versus research,
and developing a social justice paradigm.
The workshop will run from 2:00pm-4:30pm with a short break in the middle.
We expect participants to represent a range of experience and expertise in civic engagement, service-learning and community-based
research, etc. Once we have completed the registration process, I will be reaching out to those who have signed up in order to gauge
levels of knowledge and experience. I hope to prepare the most effective framework for a presentation and workshop exercise based on
these expectations and needs.

Film Exhibit Schedule
The film exhibit is scheduled for Sunday, August 11. It was organized by Graham Cassano, Oakland University.
8:30am-10:10am
Radio Unnameable, http://www.radiounnameablemovie.com/, length: 87 minutes
Legendary radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized late night FM radio by serving as a cultural hub for music, politics and audience
participation for nearly 50 years. Long before today’s innovations in social media, Fass utilized the airwaves for mobilization encouraging
luminaries and ordinary listeners to talk openly and take the program in surprising directions. Radio Unnameable is a visual and aural
collage that pulls from Bob Fass’s immense archive of audio from his program, film, photographs, and video that has been sitting
dormant until now.
10:30am-12:10pm
Brothers On The Line, http://brothersontheline.tumblr.com/, length: 81 minutes
Brothers On The Line is an acclaimed documentary feature exploring the legacy of the Reuther brothers - Walter, Roy, and Victor -
pioneering labor organizers and social justice statesman, and their remarkable leadership of the United Auto Workers union. Directed by
Victor’s grandson Sasha Reuther and narrated by Martin Sheen, the film follows the brothers from their rise as shop-floor organizers in
1930s Detroit to leaders in collective bargaining, civil rights, and international labor solidarity. A timely tale of one family's quest to
compel American democracy to live up to its promise of equality, Brothers On The Line is a dramatic blueprint of successful social action.
12:30pm-2:10pm
Granito: How to Nail a Dictator, http://www.itvs.org/films/granito, length: 103 minutes
Granito: How to Nail a Dictator is a story of destinies joined by Guatemala’s past, and how a documentary film intertwined with a
nation’s turbulent history emerges as an active player in the present. In Granito our characters sift for clues buried in archives of mind
and place and historical memory, seeking to uncover a narrative that could unlock the past and settle matters of life and death in the
present. Each of the five main characters whose destinies collide in Granito are connected by Guatemala’s past. In 1982, Guatemala
was engulfed in an armed conflict during which a genocidal “scorched earth” campaign by the military killed nearly 200,000 Maya
people and disappeared another 20,000. Now, as if a watchful Maya god were weaving back together threads of a story unraveled by
the passage of time, forgotten by most, our characters become integral to the overarching narrative of wrongs done and justice sought
that they have pieced together, each adding their granito, their tiny grain of sand, to the epic tale.
2:30pm-4:10pm
Broken on All Sides: Race, Mass Incarceration & New Visions for Criminal Justice in the U.S.,
http://brokenonallsides.com/, length: 68 minutes
The documentary centers around the theory put forward by many, and most recently by Michelle Alexander (who appears in the
movie), that mass incarceration has become “The New Jim Crow.” That is, since the rise of the drug war and the explosion of the prison
population, and because discretion within the system allows for arrest and prosecution of people of color at alarmingly higher rates
than whites, prisons and criminal penalties have become a new version of Jim Crow. Much of the discrimination that was legal in the Jim
Crow era is today illegal when applied to black people but perfectly legal when applied to “criminals.” The problem is that through
subjective choices, people of color have been targeted at significantly higher rates for stops, searches, arrests, prosecution, and harsher
sentences. So, where does this leave criminal justice?
4:30pm-6:10pm
Puzzles: When Hate Came to Town, http://andersongoldfilms.com/films/documentaries/puzzles.htm, length 53 minutes
In the post-industrial city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, an 18 year-old entered a gay bar named Puzzles, and attacked its patrons
with a hatchet and gun. As a result, two very different communities are threatened. The loose circle of disaffected white youth who call
themselves Juggalos, — followers of the Detroit-based white-rap/ band Insane Clown Posse (ICP) and the vibrant but fragile oasis for
drag performers and working class gay men and lesbians. PUZZLES charts these divergent journeys as they unfold, and along the way,
PUZZLES reveals the deep alienation that many American youth struggle with and its counter part: the abiding need for family.

Plan to attend the open forum of discussion where resolutions
will be presented for discussion among concerned members.
Each proposed resolution will be presented by the sponsoring
Division’s Chairperson (or designated representative) and
adequate time for discussion will be properly allotted to each. All
Division Chairs should plan to participate in this session or
designate a proxy from their division if unable to attend. At the
annual business meeting, the resolutions will be presented by
Vice-President Tracy L. Dietz as a package for approval for action
by the attending membership. The membership will vote on
proposed resolutions that were discussed and revised on the first
day of the meeting. If objections from the floor are raised to any
specific resolution, that resolution can, by majority vote of those
present, be singled out from the package, and voted on
separately. Those present can either support the resolution for
approval as proposed or decide to table the resolution for
further discussion at the subsequent annual meeting.

Reconciling Occupy Wall Street outside of New

Room: Minetta
Program Committee
David Fasenfest, Wayne State University
Mike Sabbagh, Occupy Detroit
The initial occupation of New York City built off existing notions
that something wasn’t right. The malaise was and is rooted in
here New York but its effect are felt far and wide. Wall Street was
the culprit, but how do you vent grievances towards an abstract
entity? And how are corollary movements with geographic links,
like Occupy Detroit, aligned with the goals and strategy of this
abstract movement, Occupy Wall Street? Wall Street’s tentacles
reach into Detroit and vice-versa, but there is nevertheless a gulf
between these entities. This panel will act a dialog between
these groups, with participation from activists and organizers
from both.

Maul Girls to Perform at SSSP 2013 in Support of UNiTE. Formed
in the 1990s, Maul Girls, a NYC-based alterna-spunk quintet took
the East Village by storm with appearances at venues such as
CBGBs and the Continental. Sharing stages with eclectic acts
including The Lunachicks, They Might Be Giants, and Janis Ian,
Maul Girls offered a funky, chunky sound that the New York
Times called “high energy pop.” Having disbanded by the
Maullenium, they reunited for shows at NYC’s HOWL! Festival,
Dean Johnson’s Rock N’ Roll Fag Bar, and the Bowery Electric.
They are particularly honored to play at SSSP’s 2013 Annual
Meeting in support of UNiTE’s campaign to End Violence Against
Women! Reflecting on their 2007 HOWL! Festival performance,
Lucid Culture notes: “…their slightly askew mishmash of punk,
funk and pop pulled an impressively mixed crowd. Everybody
loved the Maul Girls because they rocked…and their songs were

Critique of the Leftist Utopian Imagination
Room: Palace
Program Committee
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University
In this session panelists will explore the limits of the leftist
imagination about the future society. For radicals of almost all
political leanings, the future ”communist” or ”anarchist” society
is seen as the solution for all current ills. But this future, imagined
by mostly white, male radicals, is only feasible if one believes that
class is the primary contradiction of modern societies. If one
believes that the contemporary matrix of domination is much
more complex, then the program for social emancipation needs
to have in its agenda other sources of social division. This session
is in part inspired by last year’s panels at the ASA on ”real
utopias” and the disappointment of race scholars and feminists
of color with how narrow their views of the present and of the
future were. However, the limits of the leftist imagination on the
future society has a long history and we hope panelist address
that history in this session.

Description:
While the neo liberal capitalism of the current world system has
fostered enormous wealth, most of this wealth has been
appropriated by a variety of elites, and indeed often coalitions of
elites. The other side of the coin, has been growing inequality,
the expansion of a vast number of people now facing
unemployment, underemployment and perhaps permanent
membership in a growing precariat class. In response to these
conditions, we have witnessed a variety of social mobilizations
from Tunisia and Egypt to Greece and Spain, and finally the
Occupy Wall Street movements in the USA that would express
their grievances and would foster social changes. But this has not
always been the case. Within a short time, we now see crises in
Tunisia and Egypt, devastation in Syria, continued protests in
Spain and Greece and the OWS encampments were violently
dispersed. How do we understand what has happened, what
does this mean in terms of social movements? What might the
outcomes be? To examine these timely questions, a number of
scholars long identified with progressive mobilizations will come
together to reflect on these movements.

“The Missing Case of Masculinity in Criminological Research,”
Steven E. Barkan, University of Maine and Michael Rocque,

Over half a century ago, Malcolm X theorized that ”You can’t
have capitalism without racism!” Today, his insights ring truer
than ever. As the struggle continues, a new generation has grown
up under a post-9/11 choreography of ”racial unity” that has
evolved during the Obama era with the promise of a ”postracial”
society. But that promise has steadily evaporated as the
intersection of racial and class oppression in the US has become
ever clearer for those on the receiving end. This dialogue is about
a critical sociology of resistance and seeks to explore alternative
strategies for advancing the struggle for full racial equality and
socialism.

Re-Imagining Utopia Along Race, Class, Gender
Lines
Room: Palace
Program Committee
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University
George Lipsitz, University of California, Santa
Barrbara
This session is a follow-up to session I, “CRITIQUE OF THE LEFTIST
UTOPIAN IMAGINATION.” The goal of this session is not to
produce the final program of ”what is to be done,” but to begin
fleshing out issues that the future society should address,
bringing traditions of resistance to the fore as central for
imagining the new society, and pondering aloud how to
disentangle intersectional nodes of power. For example, should
gender and race remain as benign cultural categories in the
future society or should they “wither away” as their oppressive
foundation is dislodged? What is the import of the black
resistance tradition and the struggles of women of color to shade
(pun intended) the utopia of the future? And, is it at all
productive to imagine the future or should just focus on
demolishing the oppressive system we live in?

Description:
Legendary radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized late night
FM radio by serving as a cultural hub for music, politics and
audience participation for nearly 50 years. Long before today’s
innovations in social media, Fass utilized the airwaves for
mobilization encouraging luminaries and ordinary listeners to
talk openly and take the program in surprising directions. Radio
Unnameable is a visual and aural collage that pulls from Bob
Fass’s immense archive of audio from his program, film,
photographs, and video that has been sitting dormant until now.

This panel will cover the challenges faculty face when they teach
courses that address racism critically and directly. We will discuss
a range of issues, including resistance to women and/or faculty
of color, racism denial, lack of institutional support or
understanding of the challenges faculty face, the emotional
energy faculty must exert to deal with issues in a racism-centered
classroom and how that distracts attention away from research
and publishing, how to teach empowerment especially for
people of color, and how we can ask for support from our
institutions.

Racial and Ethnic Minorities
Crystal L. Jackson, Loyola University Chicago
The session will begin by considering how whites and blacks
make sense of their racial identities amid changing historical
circumstances. Presenters will focus upon how whites’ lived
experiences in racially changing neighborhoods inform their
racial understanding. Within the context of ongoing dialogues on
racial progress, the session will also take a new look at the
discrepancy between the achievements of middle class blacks
and their lived experiences, which tend to offer diminishing
returns on social and economic gains. In the second part of the
session, we expand the discussion to include groups that lie
outside the black/white paradigm that has defined American
society historically. Presenters will examine how racial projects
impacting both Muslim and Mexican Americans inform social
life. We end the session by taking into account how globalization
shapes identity and conceptions of home within two segments
of the Korean diaspora.

Granito: How to Nail a Dictator is a story of destinies joined by
Guatemala’s past, and how a documentary film intertwined with
a nation’s turbulent history emerges as an active player in the
present. In Granito our characters sift for clues buried in archives
of mind and place and historical memory, seeking to uncover a
narrative that could unlock the past and settle matters of life and
death in the present. Each of the five main characters whose
destinies collide in Granito are connected by Guatemala’s past. In
1982, Guatemala was engulfed in an armed conflict during which
a genocidal “scorched earth” campaign by the military killed
nearly 200,000 Maya people and disappeared another 20,000.
Now, as if a watchful Maya god were weaving back together
threads of a story unraveled by the passage of time, forgotten by
most, our characters become integral to the overarching
narrative of wrongs done and justice sought that they have
pieced together, each adding their granito, their tiny grain of
sand, to the epic tale. (length: 103 minutes)

This session focus on the inter-connections between social work
practice, research and the theorizing of social problems. The aim
of the session is, on the basis of a selection of diverse empirically
grounded research projects - some of which are conducted
within the field of social work or among welfare state
professionals - to identify insights and constructs that may prove
useful in terms of theorizing contemporary social problems; in
developing social work practice and for re-imagining the links
between social work practice, research and theoretical
conceptualizations of social problems.

A. Kathryn Stout, Manhattan College
The documentary centers around the theory put forward by
many, and most recently by Michelle Alexander (who appears in
the movie), that mass incarceration has become "The New Jim
Crow." That is, since the rise of the drug war and the explosion of
the prison population, and because discretion within the system
allows for arrest and prosecution of people of color at alarmingly
higher rates than whites, prisons and criminal penalties have
become a new version of Jim Crow. Much of the discrimination
that was legal in the Jim Crow era is today illegal when applied to
black people but perfectly legal when applied to "criminals." The
problem is that through subjective choices, people of color have
been targeted at significantly higher rates for stops, searches,
arrests, prosecution, and harsher sentences. So, where does this
leave criminal justice? (length: 68 minutes)

Graham Cassano, Oakland University
Jo Reger, Oakland University
In the post-industrial city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, an 18
year-old entered a gay bar named Puzzles, and attacked its
patrons with a hatchet and gun. As a result, two very different
communities are threatened. The loose circle of disaffected
white youth who call themselves Juggalos, — followers of the
Detroit-based white-rap/ band Insane Clown Posse (ICP) and the
vibrant but fragile oasis for drag performers and working class
gay men and lesbians. PUZZLES charts these divergent journeys
as they unfold, and along the way, PUZZLES reveals the deep
83
alienation that many American youth struggle with and its
counter part: the abiding need for family. (length: 53 minutes)
