>> Theory in Action, the Journal of the Transformative Studies
>> Institute is soliciting papers for our issue on "Theory, Social
>> Justice, & Direct Action" Submissions are due December 31, 2007.
>> While there have been many theoretical analyses of such aspects of
>> social justice as stratification and inequality, and civil rights,
>> there is a need for more research that connects activism with
>> theory. We believe that theory without action and action without
>> theoretical grounding are inherently flawed. To change the world,
>> activists and scholars need to collaborate in order to inform one
>> other’s work. To this end, we especially seek papers in which
>> theoretical analysis fosters societal change or in which practical
>> experience guides theoretical research.
>> Theory in Action invites U.S. and international submissions of
>> well-researched and thought-provoking papers from various
>> disciplines, including sociology, political science, psychology,
>> art, philosophy, history, and literature. We welcome works by
>> activists, independent scholars, graduate students, and faculty.
>> We accept both theoretical and empirical papers by scholar-
>> activists. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
