This newsletter reflects that. It includes information on two initiatives that, I think, will help increase the Division’s online presence. The Division has developed a Facebook page (p. 3) and we are also developing a Wikipedia entry on social problems theory. All members are encouraged to get involved by liking the Facebook page, sharing information about news or publications on it, and contributing to the development of the Wiki entry. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ This newsletter also includes information to help you plan your 2015 submission to the SSSP’s annual meeting. You will find a list of sessions, with descriptions, on pages 8 & 9. I’m excited by this year’s selection of sole and co-sponsored sessions. All seem to be me to be timely and relevant, and I believe they will attract interesting and important papers. Thank you, session organizers, for your work on behalf of the Division! The deadline for submitting a paper for the 2015 meeting is January 31, 2015. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ I’ve also included information about our 2015 awards. As always, we’ll be considering outstanding student papers that contribute to social problems theory. We’re also considering published articles for this year’s outstanding scholarship award. You can read more about both awards and find submission information on page 2.਍ഀ ਍ഀ As always, feel free to be in touch by email with questions about or ideas for the division. You can reach me at jared.delrosso@du.edu.਍ഀ ਍ഀ Jared Del Rosso਍ഀ University of Denver਍ഀ Social Problems Theory Division Chair (2014-2016)਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIVISION’S WIKI ENTRY਍ഀ ਍ഀ The Social Problems Theory Division is developing a Wiki entry for submission to Wikipedia. This page will provide background on the social construction of social problems, as well as discussion of some of the core controversies, developments, and terms of the debate. You can contribute to the entry's development by developing the draft entry. You do not need to have a Wikipedia account to edit the entry, nor do you need to submit your contributions to me for review. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEWSLETTER਍ഀ The Social Problems Theory Division is always looking for content to feature in the newsletter. If you have ideas for a brief essay or commentary that you would like to contribute, announcements about new publications that you would like to share with the division, a call for papers, or if you are working with a student whose research you think should be highlighted here, let me know by emailing me at jared.delrosso@du.edu. The deadline for submissions to the next issue is February 15, 2015.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ MEMBER BLOG਍ഀ ਍ഀ Jim Kemeny, a longtime division member and Emeritus Professor of Housing and Urban Sociology at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research at Uppsala University, has recently started a blog, My Symbolic Interaction. On it, Jim details his experiences over the past 50 years working as a symbolic interactionist and shares his thoughts on related issues of social constructionism and qualitative research, particularly in the areas of urban sociology and housing studies. You can read Jim's blog at http://socialconstr.wordpress.com/. If you’d like to email Jim, you can do so at jim.kemeny@gmail.com.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ SSSP WEBSITE UPDATES਍ഀ ਍ഀ The SSSP has updated several pages on its website, including:਍ഀ ਍ഀ 2015 SSSP Annual Meeting਍ഀ Call for SSSP Submissions਍ഀ Current Job Opportunities਍ഀ SSSP Awards਍ഀ SSSP Scholarships ਍ഀ SSSP Student Paper Competitions & Outstanding Scholarship Awards ਍ഀ Affiliated Fellowships & Scholarships਍ഀ Affiliated Calls for Submissions & Conferences਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ CALL FOR PAPERS: SOCIAL PROBLEM THEORY DIVISION’S 2015 AWARDS਍ഀ ਍ഀ OUTSTANDING STUDENT PAPER AWARD਍ഀ ਍ഀ Deadline: 1/31/15਍ഀ ਍ഀ The Social Problems Theory Division invites papers for its annual Graduate Student Paper Award Competition.  To be eligible, papers must (a) be authored or co-authored by students, (b) have relevance to constructionist social problems theory, and (c) cannot have been accepted for publication. 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). The winner will receive membership dues, annual meeting registration fees, a plaque, and, subject to budgetary approval, a cash prize. The winner will also be invited to present her or his paper at the 2015 SSSP meetings. Thus, all papers submitted for consideration for the Social Problems Theory Division Award must also be submitted through the annual meeting Call for Papers process as a condition for consideration of the award, preferably to a Social Problems Theory Division session. Please also note that students may only submit a paper for consideration to a single SSSP division. A paper submitted to multiple divisions may not receive consideration for the Social Problems Theory Division Award. Please send submission as an e-mail attachment to the Student Paper Competition Committee Chair: Brian Monahan, Marywood University, monahan@maryu.marywood.edu.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ OUTSTANDING ARTICLE AWARD਍ഀ ਍ഀ Deadline: 2/15/15਍ഀ ਍ഀ The Social Problems Theory Division requests nominations for its Outstanding Article Award. The Division welcomes papers that critique or advance the ongoing scholarly dialogue about the constructionist approach to social problems theorizing. Eligible articles must have been published between August 1, 2012 and February 15, 2015. Single or multiple-authored articles will be accepted. Authors are encouraged to nominate their own work. Nominees must be members of SSSP. Please send a brief nomination letter and arrange to have a copy of the article sent to the Committee Chair: David C. Lane, University of South Dakota, dave.lane@usd.edu.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK: INTRODUCING THE DIVISION's FACEBOOK PAGE਍ഀ ਍ഀ The SSSP has encouraged divisions to develop a social media presence. We’ve begun that work for the Theory Division by developing a Facebook page. You don’t need a Facebook account to view the page, but only Facebook users are able to “like” the page or post to it. You may access the page at https://www.facebook.com/SPTheory.਍ഀ ਍ഀ My vision for the Facebook page is that it will serve as something like a hub for division information between the release of newsletters. I will publicize the release of new work by division members on it, calls for papers, and the like. It’s also a great place to highlight media coverage of member work—so feel free to drop me an email at any time if you’ve been featured in the media and I’ll link to that coverage on our Facebook page. Division members are also encourage to post relevant news or share relevant links on the page themselves.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ RECENT PUBLICATIONS OF NOTE਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ IS THERE LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL: SURVIVING THE NFL਍ഀ ਍ഀ James A.

Division਍ഀ ਍ഀ This session will showcase current scholarship offering critical perspectives on contemporary racism and is open as well to scholarship on how contemporary racism is conceptualized or challenged. Contemporary racism can simply refer to racism in contemporary society, or it can refer to specific forms of racism that have arisen or become more prevalent in the post-Civil Rights era. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ Militarization & State Violence਍ഀ ਍ഀ Organizer: Brian Monahan (monahan@marywood.edu)਍ഀ Sponsored with the Law and Society Division਍ഀ ਍ഀ The SSSP’s 2014 annual meeting occurred in the shadow of Ferguson, MO, where protests over the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager shot by a police officer, were met with excessive and, frequently, spectacular police force. The protests and ensuing public commentary drew attention to the ways that U.S. policing had been militarized. This session, inspired by those public concerns, seeks papers that explore the ways that contemporary society, from policing and private security to politics, media, and citizenries, has been militarized and the consequences of that militarization.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ Educational Problems & Debates਍ഀ ਍ഀ Organizer: Lynn Letukas (lynn.letukas@gmail.com)਍ഀ Sponsored with the Educational Problems Division਍ഀ ਍ഀ Over the last decade, numerous political and social changes have caused significant transformations to our educational landscape. Some of these changes include the adoption of new core curriculum, changes in college admission policies, and shifts in education funding. Social problems theorizing provides a unique opportunity to examine claimsmaking activities around these social and policy shifts. This session welcomes papers that provide new insights and directions into social problems theorizing by linking the approach to claimsmaking activities in the educational arena and/or offering policy implications related to social problems theorizing in the field of education. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ Immigration: Representations, Institutions, & Identities਍ഀ ਍ഀ Organizer: Fatima Sattar (sattarf@bc.edu)਍ഀ Sponsored with the Institutional Ethnography Division਍ഀ ਍ഀ Contemporary conflicts, changes in the global political economy and global relations have contributed to diverse patterns of migrant movement. This session will examine representations and identities of immigrants and refugees and/or the institutions that contribute to classed, gendered, racialized or other-ed identities of immigrants. What macro or micro forces influence representations? How do representations enter into the societal discourse of host or sending nations or global institutions, and how does this affect native and immigrant relations? We are open to papers that explore a diverse range of immigrant groups. ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ Matters of Concern: Environmental Problems & Debates਍ഀ ਍ഀ Organizer: Monique Ouimette (ouimette@bc.edu)਍ഀ Sponsored with the Environment and Technology Division਍ഀ ਍ഀ Humans are surrounded by and dependent upon the environment, which means that environmental problems are some of the most important social problems that we must address. This session welcomes papers that make theoretical and/or empirical contributions to knowledge on identifying, defining, challenging, and resolving environmental issues.  Potential topical areas include, but are not limited to: toxics, pollution, climate change, energy, environmental health, environmental justice, and social-environmental systems.  ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ Problematized Urban Communities and the Legacy of the Chicago School਍ഀ ਍ഀ Organizer: Courtney Waid-Lindberg ਍ഀ Sponsored with the Community Research and Development & Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Divisions਍ഀ ਍ഀ Studies of the urban community draw heavily upon the work of the early Chicago School theorists.  Since the early 20th century, both qualitative and quantitative methods have been utilized to examine various social problems in urban communities such as crime/delinquency, alcoholism, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, and housing decline.  While policy related to these urban social problems has been developed, the evaluation and the reworking of programs is ongoing.  This session welcomes papers that analyze both historical and contemporary attempts to understand social problems in urban communities through the lens of the Chicago School.਍ഀ ਍ഀ ਍ഀ
