26th Annual Conference: Workshops
This year’s conference will host two workshops on Thursday, April 23, 2020. Space is limited! Registration will open in late January. Workshop locations/times will be available on the registration page.
“Getting Into Print: How to Transform Drafts Into Publications”
Lead by Drs. Steven Clayman & Giovanni Rossi (UCLA, Sociology)
3:30pm, location TBA
For new scholars, there is a certain mystery surrounding what distinguishes a published paper from a working draft, and consequently the gulf between them can seem insurmountable. We will dispel the mystery with practical advice on moving your working papers forward toward publication, including tricks of the trade for those dealing with recorded interactional data.
“Reading, Researching and Analyzing Records and Files”
Lead by Dr. Justin Richland (UC-Irvine, Anthropology)
4:45pm, location TBA
Legal orders, regulations, private action decisions, statutes, legislative history, documents, bureaucratic memoranda — this topic will be about how to get past reading law as if it is a monolithic thing that starts and ends with Supreme Court case opinions or legislative language, and into the rich and complex world of the way bureaucracy and governance is constituted through the production and circulation of records and files.
