Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts seeks submissions for Volume 6, Number 1 (Autumn 2012): Race, Ethnicity, and Appalachia. Papers must be received by January 15, 2012.
We invite papers that consider the following questions.
- What are the political and ideological implications of the gap between the demographic realities of Appalachia and outsiders’ perceptions of those same demographics? . . .
- As the touchstone of many of the “white poverty” stories we tell ourselves, it’s important to consider the particular metaphorical space Appalachia occupies within these stories. . . . What lessons about race, culture, and class should we be drawing . . .?
- The plight of Appalachia’s natural resources defines Appalachian studies and politics. . . . How do these [boom and bust] cycles influence cultural and political realities? What kinds of interventions by activists and practitioners do the misuses of natural resources demand? . . .

Emory University School of Law presents Privatization and Social Responsibility Feb. 17-18, 2012. The call for papers deadline was yesterday, Dec. 8, 2011.
This workshop explores from a cross-cultural perspective how privatization impacts contemporary feminist and social justice approaches to public responsibility. Feminisms have long problematized divisions between the private and the political, partly in reaction to the unprecedented privatization of state responsibilities and public welfare over the past 30 years. Recent critical legal scholarship on vulnerability, state negligence, and resilience can complicate and deepen our understanding of the problems generated by privatization in the 21st century.
