Call for papers for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Sociology "Globalizing Sociology" Guest editors: Dimitri della Faille (UQAM) and Neil McLaughlin (McMaster) The present historical moment is, for many scholars and public intellectuals, a time of internationalization or globalization. This call for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Sociology seeks to address these processes of globalization as they shape and transform sociology itself. We are particularly interested in papers that address the growth of the geographical range of the object of Sociology and the implications of globalization for the very notion of distinct national sociological traditions. We would like to see papers raising normative, epistemological and even larger visionary concerns. What might a truly global sociology look like? What conceptual, theoretical,methodological, epistemological innovations and critique would be necessary to move beyond an exclusively Western focus? What alternative traditions might we consider, as we attempt to build a global sociology for the 21st century. Empirical and theoretical papers on these broad concerns are welcome, as are specific case studies of national, regional, and global sociologies. Papers either in French and in English will be considered for publication. Authors should submit their texts to: Dimitri della Faille ([log in to unmask]), Neil McLaughlin ([log in to unmask]) and [log in to unmask] by August 31st 2006. The papers should be prepared according to the CJS guidelines for manuscripts: http://www.cjsonline.ca/submnfo.html Dr. Neil G.
