Call for Contributions: Society and Space, "Critical Geographies in Action"

The Society and Space open site <http://www.societyandspace.org>is excited to announce the launch of a new section entitled “Critical Geographies in Action.” We begin this section to call attention to the ways scholars are putting critical geography to use within and outside the academy. In this section, we are looking to publish essays and reflections that focus on scholarly engagement (in terms of research practice, pedagogy, and activism, including campus activism) with social movements, uprisings, artistic interventions, and any other practices that actively seek to transform social and nonhuman environments in more equitable ways. Of particular interest are pieces co-authored between academics and non-academics, works that connect local struggles to broader political questions asked by geographers and movement-workers alike, and essays that highlight the multiple locations of theoretical praxis in scholar-activist work.

To see examples of past contributions, visitors may check out the newly launched section here <http://societyandspace.org/critical-geographies-in-action/>. Please send short proposals and questions to Eric Goldfischer at goldf056@umn.edu. Contributions will be accepted on a rolling basis, and timelines for publication are flexible.

Call for Proposals for Edited volume on Black elected officials roster

UPDATED BLACK ELECTED OFFICIALS ROSTER

(Under contract with Joint Center of Political and Economic Studies)

EDITORIAL TEAM

Andra Gillespie, Emory University

Boris E. Ricks, California State University, Northridge

 

DESCRIPTION

The editors seek contributors/researchers to update The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies’ (JCPES) Roster of Black Elected Officials (BEOs).  Editors are rebuilding a list of over 12,000 Black elected officials for the first time in more than a decade.  The updated roster will include all BEOs serving in the U.S. by November 2016 (an estimate of about 12,000), including federal, state, and all sub-state (county, city, township, village, etc.) officials.  This includes elected county executives, mayors, councilors, sheriffs, commissioners, school board members, water board members, public service commissioners, judges, state legislators, members of  Congress, etc… 

This project historically marks the 50th Anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and will contribute to research questions about the contemporary relevance of civil rights and the enduring impact of social justice.  As Black voters were added to the election rolls, their ballots changed the composition of legislatures, city councils, and state/local commissions everywhere.  Full participation, along with spirited civic engagement, has proved to be both transformative and impactful.

SUBMITTING PROPOSALS

The editorial team welcomes proposals from faculty and graduate students wishing to volunteer their personal time or the effort of their research assistants.  Research team members will be responsible for identifying all of the Black elected officials within an assigned geographic area. The editors encourage proposals from scholars who have special regional knowledge.  Proposals can be submitted to Andra Gillespie (Emory University) at angille@emory.edu or Boris E. Ricks (California State University, Northridge) at boris.ricks@csun.edu by August 10, 2015.

SELECTION PROCESS   

Research Team selections will be announced in September 2015.
