****CALL FOR PAPERS****
Theory in Action, the Journal of the Transformative Studies Institute
is soliciting papers for our issue on "Theory, Social Justice, &
Direct Action" Submissions are due December 31, 2007.
While there have been many theoretical analyses of such aspects of
social justice as stratification and inequality, and civil rights,
there is a need for more research that connects activism with theory.
We believe that theory without action and action without theoretical
grounding are inherently flawed. To change the world, activists and
scholars need to collaborate in order to inform one other?s work. To
this end, we especially seek papers in which theoretical analysis
fosters societal change or in which practical experience guides
theoretical research.
Theory in Action invites U.S. and international submissions of
well-researched and thought-provoking papers from various disciplines,
including sociology, political science, psychology, art, philosophy,
history, and literature. We welcome works by activists, independent
scholars, graduate students, and faculty. We accept both theoretical
and empirical papers by scholar-activists. Topics may include, but
are not limited to:
* Novel Means of Resistance
* Direct Political Action
* Environment, Space, Social Justice, & Direct Action
* Direct Action for Social Justice
* Labor / Civil Rights & Direct Action
* Globalization
* Sex & Gender
* Activism, Academia, & Scholarship
* Activism & Resistance through the Arts
* The Media & its Relationship to Societal Justice and Change
* Non-violence vs. Active Self Defense and its Effectiveness
* Historical Analysis
* The Psychology of Transformative Learning & its Relationship to Action
Theory in Action is an international peer reviewed journal.
