​CALL FOR PAPERS 
Power, Politics, People, and Knowledge 
Annual Meeting of the Association for Humanist Sociology 
November 4-6, 2021 
Jackson, Mississippi 

President: Johnny E. Williams, Trinity College 
Program Chair: James M. Thomas, University of Mississippi 
 
THEME 
How to transform our world into a beloved community? 

The 2020 meeting theme is “Power, Politics, People, and Knowledge.” In an age when many college professors, politicians, and activists are cautious about their political views and lifestyles, it is important to reflect upon people as historical and social actors. We must be resolute in the face of a changing world and generous enough to recognize change is an outcome of people’s actions. We most certainly can unmake what people create. Therefore, it is essential for social scientists, activists, and artists to direct our attention to the great struggles and issues of our time. “It is” as C. Wright Mills’s once said, “one thing to talk about general problems . . . , and quite another to tell an individual what to do. Most ‘experts’ dodge that question. I do not want to.” The aim of the meeting is to ask how sociology and other academic disciplines are following Mills lead to help transform our world into a beloved community. What are the contributions of actors and epistemologies of regions in the nation and around the world? What are the main obstacles we face to tackle the struggles and issues of today? How can innovative sociological analyses contribute to grasping and to facing our common global problems? 

Submission Deadline: July 23, 2021 
Submit paper abstracts and session proposals of 200 words or less to James M. Thomas, jmthoma4@olemiss.edu​
