CBSM Events at ASA 2019

This list includes the sessions and events sponsored by the Collective Behavior and Social Movements Section at the annual ASA meeting in New York City. It also includes thematic sessions that have a CBSM focus. The CBSM-sponsored events are noted with asterisks. The theme for this year’s conference, “Engaging Social Justice for a Better World,” has much to do with activism, movements, and organizing, so many other sections are offering sessions that may be of interest to CBSM members—there were too many to list here!

Mon, August 12, 8:30 to 10:10am

Sheraton New York, Third Floor, Liberty 3

A significant contingent of scholars of social movements has been critical of the frameworks offered by the social movement canon. Their critiques have ranged in scope including those wanting to expand the foci of research to those that argue for all movement research to consider how racisms shape every movement. In this session, we tackle these theoretical polemics.

Thinking about Abeyance in the 21st Century

Mon, August 12, 10:30am to 12:10pm

Sheraton New York, Third Floor, Liberty 3

Session Organizer: Jo Reger, Oakland University

Presider: Nancy E. Whittier, Smith College

Panelists:

Leila J. Rupp, University of California
Verta A. Taylor, Univ. of California – Santa Barbara
Alison Dahl Crossley, Stanford University
Fabio Rojas, Indiana University
Suzanne Staggenborg, University of Pittsburgh
Kathleen M. Blee, University of Pittsburgh

This session will examine how the foundational concept of social movement abeyance functions and is relevant in the 21st century. Articulated by Taylor and Rupp in their investigation of the “doldrums” of the women’s movement in the early 20th century, abeyance as a concept has been applied to multiple social movement contexts to illustrate how movements survive in period of low mobilization. This invited panel explores the transformation of the abeyance concept over time and considers its relevance in a new context of rapid social movement mobilization in a period of social protest and turmoil.

Activist Research in Public Discourse and Policy

Mon, August 12, 10:30am to 12:10pm

New York Hilton, Second Floor, Nassau West

Session Organizer: Pamela Anne Quiroz, University of Houston

Presider: Jose Zapata Calderon, Pitzer College

Liberation 101: What I’ve Learned (and How I Learned It) in the Struggle for Justice Corey Dolgon, Stonehill College
Combining Research, Teaching, and Organizing for Social Change Jose Zapata Calderon, Pitzer College

According to Michael Buroway, “As mirror and conscience of society, sociology must define, promote and inform public debate about deepening class and racial inequalities, new gender regimes, environmental degradation, market fundamentalism, state and non-state violence.” Though activist scholarship in the discipline has long preceded this statement, the past fifteen years has seen a reinvigoration of activist research as sociologists engage social justice causes that range from vegetarianism and food deserts to global warming and the promotion of peace.
The members of this panel bridge social justice activities with academic scholarship to create a more equitable and inclusive society. In the process they also demonstrate how sociology, politics and policy are inextricably linked.

Activist knowledge and movement research

Mon, August 12, 4:30 to 6:10pm

New York Hilton, Second Floor, Nassau East

Session Organizers and Presiders: Ben Manski, University of California, Santa Barbara; John Krinsky, The City College of New York

Panelists

Jane McAlevey, Independent Scholar
Suren Moodliar, Independent Scholar
Randy Stoecker, University of Wisconsin at Madison
Lesley J. Wood, York University

Social movement scholars usually prioritize research questions, theories, methods, and findings of interest to others in the discipline; engagement with activists and with scholars who study social movements outside the formal discipline of social movement studies has taken lower priority. Accordingly, scholars and activists may not share a conception of “activist knowledge” or of its importance. Additionally, while social movement scholarship remains thin when engaging questions about effective strategy and methods for achieving systemic change, activists often look to scholarship anyhow. Activists seek information and concepts that can be used immediately; larger-scale analytic frameworks through which to understand their collective struggles; and historical reinterpretations of received activist wisdom. Thus, movement scholars’ contributions are sometimes picked up, reconfigured, and deployed by activists in building their own “theories of change.” Often, this occurs when scholars are personally involved in movement projects. Other times it is primarily the result of the diffusion of academic scholarship through teaching or popular media. And sometimes it results from the direct engagement of scholars studying the dynamics of particular movements. The effectiveness of such research lies both in the research itself having access to activist knowledge (and thus, a sensibility to how diverse activists might think about their activism) and also a means of disciplined interaction with activist-intellectuals themselves. This session renews the cause of movement-relevant research by bringing together respected scholar-activists and activist-intellectuals to consider how scholarship on movements can articulate with, strengthen, and be strengthened by ongoing engagement with activist knowledge.

Activism and social movements have long held attention of sociologists. During a time when the United States is under-going significant social change, with contentious politics a feature of everyday life, activism and social movements will continue to be essential features of the socio-political landscape.

On Mentoring Scholar-Activists

Tue, August 13, 8:30 to 10:10am

Many sociologists envision their scholar activism as including teaching and mentoring new scholar activists who seek new visions and possibilities. What can we learn from experiences of prominent sociologists who have mentored scholar activists over their careers? Can sociologists anticipate institutional support for their mentorship? What barriers may they encounter? Why mentor scholar activists?

Doing Scholar Activism

Tue, August 13, 10:30am to 12:10pm

New York Hilton, Second Floor, Nassau East

Session Organizer: Brian Gran, Case Western Reserve University

Presider: Elizabeth J. Clifford, Towson University

Everybody Eats: Community Embedded Service-Learning as Public Sociology and Social Justice Work Sarah N. Gatson, Texas A&M University
Roots, not the Shoots: Community Accountability and Engagement in Liberatory Scholarship Monica M. White, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Social Research + Social Justice = Social Obligation for Social Activism Rashawn Ray, University of Maryland

Jane Addams, George Herbert Mead, W. E. B. DuBois. Sociology has a long tradition of scholars who are activists. This tradition continues today as sociologists employ scholarship to challenge inequities, inequalities, human rights violations, and violence. Their activism, in turns, informs sociological scholarship about social and political structures that can act as obstacles and facilitators to collective behavior and social movements.

Mobilizing for and Against Violence in Pursuit of Social Justice

Tue, August 13, 12:30 to 2:10pm

Sheraton New York, Third Floor, Liberty 1

The 3×1 Program for Migrants and Vigilante Groups in Contemporary Mexico Lauren Duquette-Rury, Wayne State University; Clarisa Perez-Armendariz, Bates College

This panel explores how states and social movements mobilize for and against violence in the pursuit of social justice. We demonstrate how violence is legitimated by claims to morality, justice, humanitarianism, dignity, and threat, as well as the complexities inherent in responding to violence, such that one person’s mobilization for redress or self-defense may be another’s experience of brutality. In light of the rise of state violence, civil war, terrorism, and minority victimization in recent years, this panel addresses pressing empirical and theoretical concerns central to the 2019 ASA theme of Engaging Social Justice for a Better World.
