Call for Submissions

The Journal of Applied Social Science, the official journal of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology, announces a special edition on “Environmental Sociology and Ecological Disasters: Policy, Applications and Social Change in the Modern World.” We seek papers that address how climate change and ecological disasters disrupt communities, particularly those focusing on prevention, recovery, structural and cultural change, mitigation, and other public and/or social policy. Papers should be able to make applied public policy recommendations that seek to encourage social change. The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2011. Manuscripts should not exceed 7,000 words including references. This special edition will be edited by DeMond Miller, Jason Rivera, and J. Steven Picou. Please send your submission as an e-mail attachment to the JASS editor, Jammie Price, at jammieprice@gmail.com. The attachment should be a word-processed document (not a PDF file). If you are not a member of the Association of Applied and Clinical Sociology, also include a processing fee of $15.00, paid on-line at aacsnet.org.. Choose the option “journal submission”. Inquiries about the review process or about a particular manuscript should be directed to DeMond Miller at Millerd@rowan.edu. For information on style and format please refer to www.aacsnet.org and see the journal section on the webpage.
