Program Theme: “Elevating Humanity: Pathways to Progressivisim.” A more progressive society: What would it look like and how do we get there from here? What are the obstacles and impediments and how can they be overcome? As there are often many pathways to the top of a mountain, so too are there many ways to achieve a more humanistic world. Toward this effort, we invite you to submit papers and sessions that enhance understanding of social issues and problems, while focusing on strategies, movements, and collective efforts that strive to bring about humanistic solutions and progressive change. Submission deadline: June 15, 2016. Contact Chuck Koeber, President, and Bhoomi K. Thakore, Program Chair, at ahsdenver2016@gmail.com. To submit, go to http://humanist-sociology.org. Media Review Submissions Recognizing the multiple modalities of communication and how presentations enhance our sociological understanding of the complex realities of the 21st century, the journal Humanity & Society (http://has.sagepub.com/) seeks authors for Media Reviews. We invite reviewers of critical messages in popular films, television shows, documentaries, multimedia presentations, video games, and other forms of media. Written submissions should be approximately 1,000 words. The journal welcomes reviewers from diverse backgrounds and with diverse perspectives, including activists, graduate students, and practitioners in fields other than sociology. To review for Humanity & Society, please contact the Media Review Editor, Bhoomi K. Thakore, at bhoomi.thakore@northwestern.edu with your background information and suggested review topic.
