Knowledge about the Economy: Creating It and Using It
The ongoing financial crisis has made clear the limits of our knowledge about the economy. Recently, several promising lines of sociological research have begun to explore the creation and application of such knowledge. These include work on the performativity of economics, work examining economists as professionals, and work looking at how economic knowledge is used in politics. While groundbreaking research has been done in each of these areas, a conversation across these approaches has just started to develop. This session aims to bring together scholars studying economic knowledge from these or other perspectives to highlight common ground and clarify differences. Session organizer: Elizabeth Popp Berman, University at Albany, SUNY, epberman@albany.edu

2nd Annual Workshop on Comparative Historical Approaches to Fiscal Sociology In recent years, scholars from a variety of disciplines have embarked on an innovative wave of multidisciplinary research on the social and historical sources and consequences of taxation. We invite interested graduate students from history, law, and the social sciences to participate in a one-day workshop on this "new fiscal sociology." Students will read and discuss classic and contemporary essays that trace fundamental connections between tax institutions and macro-historical phenomena - wars, racial boundaries, religious traditions, gender regimes, labor systems, and more. Workshop participants will also have the option to present and discuss their own dissertation or pre-dissertation research. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, in Chicago, Illinois, in conjunction with the annual meetings of the Social Science History Association (SSHA). Interested students will also have a chance to present their own work on Thursday, November 18, as part of the SSHA conference. Space is limited. Small housing and travel stipends will be provided for a limited number of applicants under a grant from the National Science Foundation. Applicants should submit a CV and a paragraph explaining their interest in this workshop, and (if applicable) a draft of a research paper that they would be willing to present at the SSHA.

Nominations Needed for the Lewis A. Coser Award for Theoretical Agenda Setting
The annually organized Lewis A. Coser Award for Theoretical Agenda-Setting is intended to recognize a mid-career sociologist whose work holds great promise for setting the agenda in the field of sociology. Given for the first time in 2004-2005, the Coser Award recognizes a mid-career sociologist whose work, in the opinion of the Committee, holds great promise for setting the agenda in the field of sociology.
While the award winner need not be a theorist, his or her work must exemplify the sociological ideals Coser represented. Eligible candidates must be sociologists or do work that is of crucial importance to sociology. They must have received a Ph.D. no less than five and no more than twenty years before their candidacy.
Nomination letters should make a strong substantive case for the nominee's selection and should discuss the nominee's work and his or her anticipated future trajectory. Nominations should be sent to Richard Swedberg (Cornell) at rs328@cornell.edu.
No self-nominations are allowed. Committee members may nominate candidates. After nomination, the Committee will solicit additional information from nominees and others for those candidates they consider appropriate for consideration, including published works and at least two additional letters of support from third parties. The Committee may decide in any given year that no nominee warrants the award, in which case it will not be awarded that year.

Penn State announces the 4th annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography to be held November 3, 2009. Suzanne M. Bianchi, Professor of Sociology and Dorothy Meier Chair in Social Equity, UCLA, will present "Gender and the Reallocation of Time Later in Life." Given the dominant trend in Western societies toward increased female labor force participation, there has understandably been a great deal of exploration of women's time allocation and gender equality in market and nonmarket work during the childrearing years. Much less well conceptualized or studied empirically is what happens to women's (and men's) time and to the gender division of labor later in life, as children exit the parental home and women (and men) approach retirement. The presentation will discuss illustrative findings from a number of datasets that provide insights into women's (and men's) time allocation at a point in the life course when women's and men's work and family demands may again be more similar than during the childrearing years. Discussants will be Frances Goldscheider, College Park Professor of Family Science at the University of Maryland, and Valarie King, Professor of Sociology, Demography, and Human Development & Family Studies at Penn State.
The conference is free. Visit http://www.pop.psu.edu/events/dejonglecture/ for details and registration. The De Jong Lecture is supported by the Gordon F. and Caroline M. De Jong Lectureship in Social Demography Endowment and supplemented by the Department of Sociology and the Population Research Institute at Penn State.
