If you wish to make an announcement or publicise an event then please send the text to: [log in to unmask] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Apologies for Cross Posting Call For Papers: Teaching Sensitive Topics in the Social Sciences Whilst to some extent sensitive issues have always been touched on within social science subjects, teaching in these areas have developed radically over the past three decades. This has raised important questions about what it is that we teach, how we teach, about the relationship between teaching and research and about how students respond to the nature of the reality that is being examined. This call is for papers to address the range of issues that shape choices and directions in teaching sensitive topics. Papers might address specific sensitive areas of teaching, define the boundaries of what we teach, the shifting conceptual and empirical agendas that influence both research and teaching on sensitive topics and some of the challenges that are coming to the fore at the present time and how we can try to respond to them. We would welcome academic articles, practice papers, reports and material in alternative formats. Potential contributors are encouraged to contact the editors, Dr Helen Jones ([log in to unmask]) Dr Pam Lowe ([log in to unmask]) to discuss ideas for submission. Papers could consider, but are not limited to, the following issues: • The ethics of teaching sensitive subjects • Student/teacher relationships • Personal identity and experiences in the classroom • The impact of globalisation, internationalisation on the multi-ethnic classroom • Consideration of sensitive topics for example rape, terrorism, racism, sexism, religion etc Respondents to this call will also be invited to a 'Teaching Sensitive Topics' workshop. The deadline for submission of papers is: 31st January 2010 Dr Pam Lowe Lecturer in Sociology Aston University Aston Triangle Birmingham B4 7ET 0121 204 3807 [log in to unmask] ________________________________________ From: Medical Sociology News [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gillian Anne Bendelow [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 21 April 2009 10:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MEDSOCNEWS] Research post- Royal College of Psychiatrists +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Posted Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:53:35 This message was forwarded through MEDSOCNEWS.
