CONFERENCE THEME AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: A JOINT EFFORT Social Policy, Social Ideology, and Social Change
by Helen A. Moore (President-Elect / Program Chair, Midwest Sociological Society) & Jay Weinstein (Vice President, North Central Sociological Association)
Welcome to Chicago 2007 and the joint meeting of the Midwest Sociological Society and the North Central Sociological Association. We hope to generate a doubly enjoyable conference experience that combines the energies of the two organizations, engaging you in more than 300 sessions and several insightful tours. The keynote addresses, the thematic sessions, and the community tours are framed by the theme of this joint meeting: “Social Policy, Social Ideology, and Social Change.” Our two keynote speakers are Saskia Sassen (for the NCSA), to welcome you on Wednesday evening, and Edna Bonacich (for the MSS) on Friday afternoon. We relish the opportunity to have two presidential addresses spanning the afternoon on Thursday: Jay Howard (for NCSA) and Patricia Adler and Peter Adler (for MSS). On Friday, Adele Clarke will make the 2007 presentation in the Peter Hall Lecture Series. Here are some organizational hints: The material at the front of the program is summative of our special events, committee meetings for both organizations, and the overall session structure. The Program Summary will be useful in planning your daily schedule. To find the names of program participants, consult the index at the back of the program. Preceding the index, you will find the names of both organizations’elected officers and the committee members, as well as some historical materials. In the middle of the program you will find the complete session information for more than 300 sessions. This program has benefited from the voluntary contributions of many, many people, including the officers of the North Central SociologicalAssociation and the Midwest Sociological Society who originally envisioned this endeavor. In addition to the respective board members, particularly the past presidents and the members of our 2007 program committees, we would like to identify a few members to whom we are all deeply indebted. Chief among them are the people who produced this program: Tanya Gladney, the MSS Student Director for 2006–07, who handled chaos and session organizers with aplomb, and Lauren Tiffany, the MSS Executive Director, who channeled our frenetic efforts into a coordinated gathering. Carla Howery and Keith Roberts generated parallel conference meetings with the National Numeracy Network and Teachers of High School Sociology, respectively. Jay Howard, Peter Adler, and Patti Adler provided indispensable guidance and mediated many decisions with wisdom and grace. This enlarged circle of sociologists has worked to bring you a unique conference that combines the best of both societies. We appreciate your patience with any of our growing pains. 2007 Annual Meeting

Sociology teaches us there are many ways that people engage in public life, but popular, individualistic beliefs in America obscure most of these activities. Similar beliefs crop up in our classrooms where students show up in introductory sociology courses spouting stereotypes galore and are often unable to recognize the sociopolitical complexity of everyday life. We laugh, grit our teeth and shine our flashlights into the darkness. As we teach about the social reality of institutional racism, social class, gender stratification, community attachment and institutional norms, the beam of our flashlights serves to illuminate sociological insights. Each concept that accurately describes the social origins of family roles, the unfairness of gender discrimination and the impact of ethnic ties on religious beliefs strengthens the stream of light. Although some students refuse to leave the darkness and others turn away and shut off the light, a few are curious and follow the beam of light. Whether in an educational or applied setting, we understand those who turn away, but we celebrate those who join us on our quest to develop ever more illuminating flashlights, expanding the purview of social inquiry. How can we extend our impact not only within educational and applied settings, but to reach more publics and invite informed civic engagement? I propose we consider the following questions when we meet in St. Louis for our MSS Annual Meeting and Conference in 2008: How do we currently communicate social knowledge that challenges popular beliefs? What might we do to strategically and practically foster publicity for sociological insights and ideas that public opinion and public policy treat with indifference and even hostility? How do we contribute to the development of the kinds of understandings and dispositions necessary to maintain the vitality of a global democratic society? Are there more creative venues we might explore (e.g. documentary videos, artistic displays, and local cable programs) that might reach new audiences? How does insight come to our students? What inspires attention to the ideas we offer? What promotes indifference and disregard? How do we foster the types of learning experiences that are most likely to encourage the development of active and concerned citizens? In what ways do we model and promote decision-making processes that are collaborative and inclusive? I use experiential educational pedagogies (e.g., service learning and community-based research) to tap the roots of discomfort, stimulate curiosity, and promote cross-cultural understanding and civic mindedness. But even the most pedagogically gifted need the right set of concepts and tools to make opaque complexity vivid. What ideas do we turn to when we seek to light up the classroom, neighborhood, boardroom, congregation, and state legislature? I work for a university, but I do not do “service.” I use professionally informed social inquiry across the different public domains I inhabit. I know I am not the only one doing this work; how can we foster effective collaborations? How do we invest public life with sociological meaning? How might we reach across disciplinary divides? What practical public accomplishments do we expect to make with the work we do now? How might we change or broaden what we do to generate insights that the public will adopt with less resistance? I cannot hope to encompass the rich complexity of social inquiry that our members conduct. But as we undertake our individual efforts, I want us to consider how we might challenge public beliefs that we know generate and support superficial stereotypes and damaging falsehoods to illuminate more inclusive and just values, pedagogies, actions, and policies. I encourage sociologists both within and outside the academy to submit papers and informal discussion topics that speak to the potential and challenges of making sociology more public. I also welcome contributions across the wide array of disciplinary concerns. Please send me your session ideas as soon as you can at [email protected]. Susan J.
