SUMMARY:2019 Midwest Sociological Society Annual Meeting: Plenary on D.E.B. DuBois
DESCRIPTION:2019 Midwest Sociological Society Annual Meeting \nTheme & Call for Participants\nApril 17-20\, 2019 \nChicago Hyatt Regency\, Downtown in the Loop \n  \nQUEERING/QUERYING BODIES \nBodies are central to social life and as a consequence they have been a site of sociological inquiry for more than 30 years. More recently queer theory\, methods and embodiment studies have extended and deepened sociologists’ understanding of bodies and the people who inhabit them. Disability\, however\, remains at the margins of sociological thinking and research\, rarely making its way into intersectional theorizing or prominent publications. Thus\, the 2019 Midwest Sociological Society Meetings are dedicated to exploring the marginalization\, social construction and the many meanings and consequences associated with bodies. \nThe Conference Program Committee encourages participants to think of bodies in the broadest of terms in order for this conference to be inclusive. Potential topics include the body politic\, the policing and mass incarceration of particular types of bodies\, the killing of Black and Brown people\, corporeal variation\, bodies of knowledge and epistemology\, global bodies\, bodily discipline\, trafficking in bodies\, bodily performance\, sexual harassment\, colonization and decolonization of bodies\, identity\, sexuality\, embodiment\, bodily technology\, the politics of bodies\, bodily representation\, migration\, bodily trauma\, and sex work. We especially seek to highlight contemporary scholarship on Disability and Queer\, Non-binary and Trans people. Given the expansiveness of the topics\, everyone can find a place in the Program. A diversity of theoretical\, epistemological and methodological approaches are encouraged. \nThe conference formats will vary from conventional paper-reading sessions to more creative approaches which are increasingly enhancing participants’ experience. Examples include Innovative Presentations powered by PechaKucha\, 3-Minute Theses\, Democracy Cafes and TEDx-like Lightning Talks. In all sessions and formats\, the primary emphasis will be on dialogue. \nAldon Morris of Northwestern University will provide a plenary on W.E.B. Du Bois. Tey Meadow of Columbia University’s plenary will focus on her research on Trans children. A third plenary will focus specifically on Disability. \nPlease join us April 17-20\, 2019 at the Chicago Hyatt Regency in the Loop. Organize a session\, offer a workshop\, share an idea to enhance the conference\, invite your peers\, and exercise your intellectual curiosity. The MSS Annual Meeting has a well-earned reputation for incisive intellectual engagement and Midwestern hospitality. \nWe very much look forward to seeing you in Chicago! \nTom Gerschick\, 2019 Program Chair and President-Elect \nJ. Dalton Stevens\, 2019 Program Associate and Student Director \nRead more about the session types\, theme and other information in the Call for Submissions online. Once the submission portal is open\, you will receive an email. The expected opening date is Saturday\, September 1.

SUMMARY:Critical Conversations: An Interactive Symposium on W. E. B. Du Bois and 21st Century Color Lines
DESCRIPTION:William Edward Burghardt “W. E. B.” Du Bois was born in 1868 and became the nation’s leading social scientist on race\, social inequality\, African-American life and culture\, and the ideology of white supremacy.

SUMMARY:WYNC & Apollo Theater: Unsung Champions of Civil Rights from MLK to Today
DESCRIPTION:The Apollo Theater and WNYC are partnering for the sixth year to present WNYC’s 13th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day celebration\, Unsung Champions of Civil Rights from MLK to Today as part of the Apollo’s Uptown Hall series. WNYC’s Peabody Award-winning host Brian Lehrerand Jami Floyd\, local host of All Things Considered\, will moderate meaningful conversations examining Dr. King’s legacy and its impact on modern social justice movements. \nThrough a lively mix of one-on-one interviews and panels featuring notable guests\, we will commemorate the legacy of Dr. King. Unsung Champions of Civil Rights from MLK to Today will also place special emphasis on some of the lesser-known names who\, nevertheless\, were crucial in making both the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and today’s social issue movements successful. The “unsung” will include women\, members of the LGBTQ community and others who didn’t receive warranted\, timely\, or lasting recognition. \nApollo Uptown Halls are free and open to the public\, but tickets are required for entry. Seating is first come\, first served. \nAdditional tickets will be released on Monday\, January 14 at 10 AM. \n#ApolloUptownHall \nReserve Tickets
