Book Series Announcements

We invite book proposals from this community for the new book series Decolonial Options for the Social Sciences, edited by Alexander I. Stingl (IAM FAU Erlangen – Nürnberg), Oyeronke Oyewumi (Stony Brook), Nicholas Rowland (Penn State), and Sabrina M. Weiss (RIT). More than being just an ‘emerging paradigm’, decoloniality is a troubling and troubled conversation that does more than just cross the boundaries of disciplines, geo-polities, time frames, cultures, and identities. Interrogating the acts and gestures of crossing borders as events that simultaneously also make borders, decolonial perspectives have opened the possibility for border thinking and border existences that challenge the social sciences at their core. The book series seeks proposals that consider in all aspects the gesture of sociological delinking from the coloniality of power, being, knowledge and life itself. All contributions should aim to consider themselves as interventions to answer this challenge: “Projects aimed at ‘decoloniality,’ understood as the simultaneous and continuous processes of transformation and creation, the construction of radically distinct social imaginaries, conditions, and relations of power, knowledge.” Our main aim with series is to consider, discuss, and develop ideas and questions that represent an epistemic de-linking that challenges sociology. Alexander Stingl serves as corresponding editor and can be reached at nomadicscholarship@gmail.com. Further information about the series and additional content can be found at: https://decolonialsocialscience.wordpress.com/
​
The ASA Rose Series in Sociology, a book series published by the Russell Sage Foundation, is seeking book proposals. The Rose Series publishes cutting-edge, highly visible, and accessible books that offer synthetic analyses of existing fields, challenge prevailing paradigms, and/or offer fresh views on enduring controversies. Books published in the Series reach a broad audience of sociologists, other social scientists, and policymakers. Please submit a 1-page summary and CV to: Lee Clarke, rose.series@sociology.rutgers.edu For more information, visit http://www.asanet.org/research-publications/rose-series-sociology

There are so many educational events that are happening within the community, and this one makes me really excited! Though I am not a medical student nor someone who is associated with all of these, I am glad that webforums and other kinds of discussion are being discussed there. Among the forums that you presented here, I am ecstatic to see what “The Futures We Want: Global Sociology and the Struggles for a Better World” has for us. I am interested to be part of it, and it will be a huge honor!
