Want to blog for contexts?

Over the course of 2008 we plan to rollout many more blogs that reflect the depth and breadth of our discipline. Here's what we're looking for:

  • We want blogs that bring sociological theory and research to bear on life in today's world.
  • We want blogs to do this in an accessible manner that appeals to generalists within our discipline and to educated publics such as students, policymakers, and the media.
  • We want blog authors who are committed to their blogs for the long haul.
