SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION CONFERENCE 1999
Call for Papers

The Sociology of Education Association is holding its 1999
annual conference February 26-28 in Monterey, California. The
title of the conference is: "Difference and Power: Issues of
Race, Social Class, Gender and Language."

This year we are pleased to have two keynote speakers:
Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts, Boston and
Roxana Ng, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

This year's theme focuses on power differentials stemming
from distinctions in race/ethnicity, social class, gender,
nationality and/or linguistic difference. The Sociology of
Education Association is interested in theoretical and/or
research based presentations discussing historic or
contemporary sociological effects of difference and access to
power. We are particularly interested in papers dealing with
current social struggles surrounding such issues as Ebonics,
Bilingual instruction, English-only movements, same gender
schools, and the "new" segregation. We are well aware that
some of these issues have become lightening rods for
controversy and we encourage proponents and opponents to
submit papers. The conference aims for a balanced
presentation of theoretical and empirical sociological
research on this topic, and will provide both formal and
informal venues for discussion and the exchange of views.

Those desiring to present should submit either a detailed 2-3
page precis that includes a brief discussion of methods or a
completed paper. The submission deadline is October 15th,
1998.

THE SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

The Sociology of Education Association (SEA) is an informal
group of scholars and educators from both the fields of
sociology and education, who meet annually to engage in
discussion of issues at the intersection of sociology and
education. The SEA exists outside of the formal structure of
any of the major professional associations. To belong to SEA
you do not need to be a member of ASA, AERA, or any other
organization. Dues are $15.00 per year which entitles you to
a conference discount, access to the Sociology of Education
Association LISTSERV, and any newsletters or mailings.

The Mission of SEA is:

1) to provide an inexpensive annual conference (held at
Asilomar on the Monterey Bay Peninsula, California) in which
colleagues from education, sociology, and other social
sciences can come together for discussion of topics of common
interest;

2) to provide an organizing vehicle for people interested in
education and sociology to get to know each other and to
communicate outside of the conference;

3) to introduce graduate students and new Ph.D.'s into this
community of scholars;

4) to serve as an information conduit for persons interested
in education and sociology to hear about recent research, job
openings, and other news of interest to the membership. SEA
