Publish Your Paper with Eleven!

Eleven: The Undergraduate Journal of Sociology, a University of California, Berkeley based publication, is currently accepting papers for its seventh volume. We accept submissions by students from universities around the world and from departments in the social sciences. In the past we have published honors theses and seminar papers by students in Sociology, Ethnic Studies, Public Policy, and History.

Publishing with an academic journal comes with many rewards. We offer students the opportunity to share their research with a larger sociological community. Publishing your scholarly work also impresses graduate schools seeking applicants with a demonstrated commitment to outstanding research. Finally, our rigorous editing process perfects papers that ultimately make for excellent graduate school writing samples.

If you completed an excellent paper or honors thesis in the last three years, we strongly encourage you to fill out a submission form (attached). Empirical papers must have a well-developed methodology and contain original research. For this volume, we are also accepting critical papers in sociology and related disciplines. Such papers must be highly original and analyze a particular issue in a discipline—be it methodological, reflexive, or empirical. Please expand or limit your submission to 10-50 double spaced pages, and send your packaged materials to eleven.ucb@gmail.com. This page limit is strict and all-inclusive. The deadline to submit is Wednesday, November 6^th, 2016 at 11:59PM PST. Please find the submission form attached. Questions?

Call For Posters and Demonstrations In Play: A Conference

University of Maryland, College Park

March 4, 2016

Albert Einstein wrote, “Play is the highest form of research.” In Play, a one-day conference, explores play as the principle of innovation and experimentation that underwrites gaming, performance, and other cultural, social, and aesthetic activities. Key questions In Play poses include: How can the  study of computer gaming, in line with studies of other cultural forms and productions, contribute to culture studies in the academy? How have embodied performance and play historically enabled possibilities for both freedom and domination, for the making as well as unmaking of societies? How does a focus on play complicate recent scholarship on the global history of experimental art forms?

In Play invites proposals for posters and demonstrations—conceived as tabletop presentations involving any type of media—that investigate the question of play. We especially encourage digital projects that supplement or link to posters, as well as mixed media presentations, performances, games (both digital and tabletop) and research projects. Undergraduate, graduate, and faculty proposals are welcome. Potential interventions in play might include:

·         Play in literature and literature as play

·         Playing with gender, sexuality, race, class, or (dis)ability

·         Mathematical, technological, and scientific discoveries

·         Adaptations

·         New Media

·         Gaming and game theory

·         Rule-breaking

·         Playing and Pedagogy

·         Subversion

·         Theater and performance

·         Artistic  experiments

·         Game designs and prototypes, whether digital or tabletop

Posters and demonstrations will be set up as the centerpiece of the conference for the duration of the event as well as, where possible, for at least a week beforehand.

Prizes will be awarded to student projects.

Please submit 500-word proposals or descriptions to inplayumd@gmail.com by 12/15/2015.

Please include poster title, full name, affiliation, contact information, and brief biography (250 words). Please inform us if you require technological accommodation. Any questions should be directed to inplayumd@gmail.com.

·         Patrick Jagoda, University of Chicago
