Science&You 2021, international SciComm Conference organized by Université de Lorraine (Metz, France, 16-19 November 2021), extends the deadline for its call for papers until February 19th.

Science&You aims at mixing research and practice in science communication, popularization and engagement, and is the place to share innovative and ground-breaking topics, exchange best practices and lessons learned, and why not invent new ideas and create new partnerships.
Proposals from all perspectives are welcome. Whether you are a researcher in science communication, a researcher or professional of any field willing to share your experience in popularization and public engagement, a professional in a museum or a science center, a volunteer in an association running science workshops for children, a journalist writing about science subjects, a communications officer in a research laboratory… You are welcome to the conversation!

Proposals (and contributions) can be made either in French or in English.
The theme of the 2021 Conference is “Science Communication: Take a Step Back to Move Forward”.

The call for proposals is open until February 19th, midnight (GMT +1). Submitted proposals will then be evaluated by April 2021 by the Scientific Committee, chaired by Professor Martin W. Bauer, London School of Economics and Political Science.

Chamada de artigos: Revista Configurações 28/2021 | Dossiê temático “O ensino e a divulgação da Sociologia em Portugal”

Coordenação: Ana Maria Brandão (CICS.NOVA.UMinho, Departamento de Sociologia do Instituto de Ciências Sociais, Universidade do Minho); Benedita Portugal e Melo (UIDEF, Instituto de Educação, Universidade de Lisboa); João Teixeira Lopes (Instituto de Sociologia da Universidade do Porto, Departamento de Sociologia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto).

Apelo a contributos

Longe vão os tempos em que Adérito Sedas Nunes redigiu uma breve reflexão sobre os “Problemas da Sociologia em Portugal”. Desde 1963, data em que esta foi publicada na revista Análise Social, o panorama alterou-se significativamente no que respeita aos contornos da oferta formativa neste campo disciplinar. A Sociologia está, hoje, claramente firmada enquanto área de formação especializada do Ensino Superior e enquanto área pericial, mas está também presente nos planos de estudos de outras áreas disciplinares e níveis de ensino, incluindo o básico e o secundário. A reflexão dos próprios sociólogos sobre esse percurso, no caso português, é já assinalável. Menos comum, no entanto, tem sido o seu enfoque nos aspetos pedagógicos. Como se ensina e se promove a Sociologia em Portugal? Em que moldes se dá a conhecer o conhecimento sociológico a públicos não familiarizados com esta ciência? Com que questões pedagógicas se confrontam os seus professores quer ao nível dos ensinos básico e secundário, quer da oferta graduada e pós-graduada, especializada ou não? Quais as suas preocupações e que instrumentos e estratégias pedagógicos mobilizam? Que experiências pedagógicas concretas têm desenvolvido e quais os seus resultados? Como se relacionam essas preocupações, instrumentos, estratégias e experiências com as características diversificadas dos públicos com que trabalham?
Não excluindo questões ligadas aos processos de afirmação, consolidação e institucionalização da Sociologia como área disciplinar, são especialmente bem-vindas propostas originais, sob a forma de reflexões, investigações empíricas ou relatos de experiências concretas, que contribuam para a compreensão dos aspetos especificamente pedagógicos do ensino e/ou da divulgação da Sociologia em Portugal.

As propostas devem ser endereçadas à Direção da Revista, até ao dia 15 de abril de 2021. Os artigos submetidos a concurso deverão ser enviados para o e-mail: configuracoes_cics@ics.uminho.pt, em conformidade com as normas disponibilizadas no website http://journals.openedition.org/configuracoes.

Calendário
Data limite para a submissão de artigos: 15 de abril de 2021
Envio da decisão para os autores: 1 de novembro de 2021
Publicação: 31 dezembro de 2021

Informações adicionais encontram-se disponíveis em: http://configuracoes.revues.org/.

Submit a paper proposal:
You can propose a paper by using this link. Before doing that, have a look at the list of sessions, names of convener(s), and abstracts for each of the sessions, and decide to which one you would like to submit your paper. The call for papers will run until 28 February 2021.

You need to be an ISSR member or renew your membership to submit a proposal. To renew your membership, the link is https://www.sisr-issr.org/index.php?option=com_osmembership&view=plans&id=1&Itemid=630&lang=en. This year, due to the special conditions of an online conference, you will be asked to register as a member or renew your membership before 1 March 2021 to confirm your submission (in the eventuality of your paper being rejected by the conference, your membership fees will be reimbursed). Furthermore, in order to remain in the final programme, you will have to pay the conference fee (which is reduced by half this year) by 1 June 2021.

50% Digital Conference fees!
• Ordinary members: 70 Euros (to benefit from this preferential rate, it is indispensable to become a member)
• Reduced fee: 35 Euros
• Non-members: 85 Euros

The registration will be opened later in the year.
New deadline for articles Awards!

Due to the current situation, we have received fewer articles than usual, so we would like to encourage you to submit your article if you haven’t done so already. The new deadline for both article awards is now 28 February 2021. The winner or winners will receive their awards at the 2021 ISSR Conference. They will be reimbursed their registration fees and receive a 500 Euro reward (replacing the support for travel costs usually incurred for attending the Conference). Candidates must be in good standing for the current membership period.
