338 - Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities Paper Session. Shifting Focus, Rotating Lenses: Racism in the Discipline of Sociology

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

This session aims to turn the lens of race critical interrogation on the profession of sociology itself. Papers in this session will examine how racism and white domination effect the discipline writ large, from the deep paradigmatic framing of sociology, to the privileging of particular voices and perspectives in sociological perspectives, to the institutional demographics and dynamics of sociology programs, to the everyday micro-aggressions that plague the institutional spaces of the discipline. Here we seek to examine how the very field we study is embedded within our intellectual home.
