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? . . .

The Journal of Gender, Race & Justice (University of Iowa College of Law) is dedicated to the living discussion of feminist inquiry and critical race analysis in legal scholarship. We explore how people are classified, stratified, ignored and singled out under the law because of race, sex, gender, economic class, ability, sexual identity and the multitude of labels applied to us. The Journal would like to invite legal authors of all perspectives to submit proposals for articles to fill Volume 16 of our publication.
For more information about the Journal and our submission policy, please see our website. Please send article or proposal submissions, along with your curriculum vitae to Whitney Smith at whitney-e-smith@uiowa.edu. The deadline is Jan. 30, 2012.

The Oregon Law Review host a symposium called “Miller’s Courts: Media, Rules, Policy, and the Future of Access to Justice” April 13, 2012. At this event, we will honor Professor Arthur Miller’s diverse professional achievements while facilitating substantive discussions on modern access challenges in the civil system. We would like the event to be a sort of intense festshrift, an opportunity both to celebrate his career and to engage the kinds of issues he has worked on throughout his career.
To that end, we are soliciting submissions that either (1) focus on specific contributions of Professor Miller with respect to access to justice inside and outside the legal academy, or (2) speculate as to future trends and possible issues relating to access in the civil system.
Submissions must be received by Jan. 2, 2012.

Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts is seeking submissions for its March 2012 issue, Land Ownership and Tenure. The deadline for submissions has been extended to Nov. 1, 2011.
UN-Habitat, The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, concluded that more than one billion people live without any security of tenure in informal settlements in “developing” countries. If “land is not just a resource to be exploited, but a crucial vehicle for the achievement of improved socioeconomic, biological, and physical environments” (FAO), then access to land ensures the security and health of the poor. The politics of access to and exploitation of land and natural resources assume fundamental relations of power control and the policy of social inclusion; however, both notions imply and consolidate that access to land and land ownership, particularly in the Global South, reflect broader patterns of intra-institutional dynamics that explain how marginality and socio-political exclusion take place within countries and on the global stage.
