SOCIAL PROBLEMS THEORY
Deadline: 1/31/13
The Social Problems Theory Division invites papers for its annual Student Paper Award. To be eligible, papers must be authored or co-authored by students, have relevance to social problems theory, and cannot have been accepted for publication at the time of submission. Social Problems Theory welcomes papers that critique or advance the ongoing scholarly dialogue about the constructionist approach to social problems theorizing. Papers co-authored with faculty are not eligible. Self-nominations are welcome. Manuscripts should be limited to fewer than 10,000 words (not including references). Subject to budgetary approval, we anticipate that the winner will receive a monetary stipend, membership dues, meeting registration fees, and a ticket for the 2013 SSSP awards banquet. The winner will also be invited to present her or his paper at the 2013 SSSP meetings. Please send submissions as an e-mail attachment to the Student Paper Award Committee Chair: Lynn Letukas (University of Wisconsin-La Crosse) at lletukas@uwlax.edu.
