SESSION GUIDELINES
This program lists all sessions and participants as of the date this publication went to print. Session numbers are
final as are presentation room assignments, dates, and time slots.
The session chair, presider, or organizer will serve as timekeeper, or designate another presenter to keep time.
Panelists should agree beforehand to the time limits and leave a minimum of 10 minutes for questions. To
facilitate people attending multiple sessions, presenters will present in the order listed on the program. Session
chairs are asked to report the head count from their sessions to a representative of AACS at the registration desk.
Fifteen to twenty-minute breaks occur between most of the scheduled sessions. This time is used to rearrange
seating, clean rooms, set up equipment, and organize the next session. For sessions that run over, the discussion
should be moved to a non-assigned area, the lobby, or other common area.
You must register and remit payment to the AACS Conference Registrar to participate in the 2013 conference in
Portland. If you have not already pre-registered and pre-paid for the conference, you may register and remit
payment at the registration desk.
SESSION TYPES
Paper Presentations: Provide attendees with contemporary research, useful case studies, and insightful
evaluations of applied and clinical work that is performed in occupations in the academic and non-academic
workplace and professional marketplace, using a traditional format of delivery that joins presentations of a
similar theme.
Roundtables/Short Sessions: Encourage attendees to participate with the session chair in sharing and discussing
ideas, information and questions pertaining to a common topic. Roundtable chairs may provide information, and
then facilitate discussion. Chairs select an issue and invite other conference participants working in applied,
clinical, or academic settings to brainstorm, share ideas and discuss creative solutions. Works in progress,
innovative teaching discussions, and interactive sessions for practitioners to discuss current issues in the field,
and other formats are encouraged.
Interactive/Long Sessions: Interactive projects, workshops, or paper sessions with many participants can be run
as a traditional format of delivery that joins presentations of a similar theme or are run as interactive sessions
with attendee participation. To maximize interaction, the length of the session was modified.
Panels: Consist of applied and/or clinical sociologists who, as recognized experts in their fields or specialties,
discuss the latest trends and developments in research, teaching, or practice. Open dialogue and exchange is
encouraged.
Posters: Visual displays of research or innovative practices/organizations that allow people to have one-on-one
dialogues with you about your research. Poster presentations are typically easier to prepare and are well suited
for works in progress and this is also a good opportunity for community organizations and students and faculty
working in the community to present their work.
Plenary and Keynote Addresses: Address salient issues that directly impact the conference theme. Conference
registrants join together in a single, large assembly. Presenters draw on their substantive field experience and
personal background, contributing to the discussion.
JUDITH LITTLE STUDENT PROBLEM SOLVING COMPETITION:
RULES AND PROCESSES
Each year AACS seeks to identify an organization in the community that has a specific problem that needs
resolution. Once the client has been identified, information describing the client’s needs is posted at the AACS
website, www.aacsnet.org and via the listserv. After reviewing this information, teams are organized to work on
solving the client’s problem. This successful program is used with permission by other sociological societies. This
year our client is Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
Eligibility: Teams of students will work together to address the client's needs. A school can have one team, or
multiple teams. The team can be comprised of all undergraduate students, all graduate students, or a mix of
students. A faculty member sponsors the team.
Process: At the conference, the client will offer an informal presentation to introduce students to his/her
organization, describing the organization's history, leadership, and needs. There is plenty of time for questions
and answers at this session. After the conference, students return to their campuses and begin meeting together
as a team to brainstorm and research solutions to the client's problem. During this stage, students can email
questions to the client and the exercise coordinator. The coordinator will circulate answers to follow-up
questions to all teams. Each team develops a written team report and submits it to the exercise coordinator.
The client and an evaluation committee read the reports, ranking them on a series of dimensions (see below). A
winner is determined. The exercise coordinator collects feedback from the client and evaluation committee
members and distributes these to all the teams.
Benefits: All students participating in the exercise gain sociological consulting experience which they should list
on their resumes. The winning team receives discounted registration at next year's conference, a cash award, and
the team advisor receives a plaque.
Evaluation Criteria:
 Coverage of the questions described in the problem-solving description.
 Review of relevant sociological literature related to the exercise topic.
 Use of applied and/or clinical social research methods.
 Integration of theory and methods.
 Appropriateness of assumptions and solutions/plan of action.
 Creativity in addressing questions and providing solutions/plan of action.
 Discussion of solution/plan limitations.
 Overall quality of the report design and presentation.
 Ability to summarize the report in the executive summary.
 Clarity of analysis, writing, and organization of ideas.
Student teams meet with and ask questions of the client organization at Student Problem Solving Session I on
Thursday, October 3 at 12:30 p.m. (Workshop 2). The teams will reconvene at Student Problem Session II at
3:45p Saturday to present their solutions to the judging panel.
CERTIFICATION
Certification is a designation awarded to experienced professional sociological practitioners after a process of
evaluation by sociologists within AACS. A certified member may then use a special designation as a Certified
Sociological Practitioner (C.S.P.) in addition to his/her degree. To be certified, you must submit a portfolio
representing your academic and practice background, current practice, and ethical positions. The portfolio must
also include recommendations from people who know your work as a practitioner. A panel of three certified
applied and clinical sociologists will review this material. If this panel agrees that the above factors would qualify
you to gain this designation, you are invited to hold a certification demonstration at a professional meeting (e.g.,
AACS meeting or ASA). A similar panel reviews your presentation. If the majority of the panel agrees that your
presentation (along with the portfolio) demonstrates that you are qualified as an applied or clinical sociologist,
you will be awarded certification.
Who Is Eligible?
Certification as an applied or clinical sociologist is open to persons with masters and doctoral degrees in sociology
and also for those with interdisciplinary masters and doctorates whose course work and practice feature a strong
sociological component.
In What Areas May I Be Certified?
Applied and Clinical Sociologists practice on multiple levels of focus. Areas of specialization include international, national,
intercommunity, community, organization, other groups, family, and individuals. Major practice content areas
include community development, conflict resolution, criminology/criminal justice, organizational development,
gerontology, health, counseling, and social policy. Many sociologists have developed unique practices and the
certification process can be accommodating within certain professional parameters. Your application, applied or
clinical experience and certification demonstration must reflect the intervention areas that you specify.
What Does It Cost?
You must be a member of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS). For certification, there is an
application fee of $200 and a demonstration fee of $100. If you are certified, there is an annual $20 certification
maintenance fee. You must attend an AACS annual meeting before you present your certification demonstration.
Why Be Certified?
Certification as an Applied or Clinical Sociologist indicates that your background, current practice, attitudes,
ethics, and skills have been examined by certified professionals in your discipline. By awarding certification, AACS
indicates that they believe you meet the standards of sociological practice as an applied or clinical sociologist.
Certification may add to your credibility as a practitioner. It has helped some practitioners gain entrance to
restrictive practice settings and routes to reimbursement.
Certification indicates that you have met professional standards at a particular time. It is important to maintain
and enhance your abilities by keeping up to date in your chosen areas of specialization. Moreover, the AACS
code of ethics is an additional reassurance of proper behavior by certified sociological practitioners.
Certification Is Not Licensure
A state or commonwealth grants a license after successful passage of a bill in the legislature and signature of the
governor. Gaining such passage usually requires a lobbying effort, a strong organization, supporters, powerful
allies, and resources. Licenses are usually available in fields where it can be shown that unlicensed practitioners
have the potential to do harm. Licensure can restrain use of titles, procedures, and employment. Over the years,
there have been attempts to license sociologists, but none of these attempts have succeeded. Other licensed
disciplines are usually opposed to licensure of others because of occupational pride and because they may
believe it will limit their members’ income.
Some practicing sociologists believe that a license in sociology would be economically beneficial, as managed
care providers look for less expensive ways to provide services. Several states look on certification as a step to
licensure. On the other hand, some states are sun-setting licensure laws.
What Is Applied and Clinical Sociology?
Applied and Clinical Sociologists use sociological interventions, which apply sociological perspectives to the
analysis and design of interventions for positive change at any level of social organization from the micro to the
macro. An applied or clinical sociologist has a strong background in social theory and the variety of sociological
methods. This knowledge of theory and method is the basis of applied and clinical work. The orientation of
applied and clinical sociology is both interdisciplinary and humanistic.

“CAN WE ‘SHAKE UP SOCIOLOGY?’
A BRAINSTORMING SESSION”
Isn’t time that we really transform sociology? This session
was stimulated in part by a New York Times article "Let’s
Shake Up the Social Sciences" by Sociologist/Physician,
NICHOLAS A. CHRISTAKIS, a co-director of the Yale
Institute for Network Science. Among other things, Dr.
Christakis suggests several transformative scenarios for
the social sciences.
While not a critique or an assessment of the article per se
(no prior reading of the Christakis article is needed), this
session will provide a brainstorming forum for the ways
to transform social sciences, specifically sociology.
Though there are no promises, perhaps the session will
find ways to “Shake Up” sociology.
STUDENT PROBLEM SOLVING SESSION I
The Judith Little Problem Solving Competition provides
students a meaningful way to exercise their sociological
skills. It is a networking opportunity for the participants
and also provides students a professional experience they
can include on their resumes.
The competition begins with the problem statement,
given by a representative of a local Portland agency that
is soliciting sociological assistance. Student teams will
have the remainder of the conference to develop a
solution. Students are encouraged to attend sessions that
may help them develop their solutions. Students are also
encouraged to interview conference attendees for
information and suggestions. Online research is also

encouraged.
Solutions are due on Saturday October 5th by 3:45.
Teams will make presentations of their solutions to an
adjudicating body of four AACS members and a
representative of the agency providing the problem. The
winner will be announced during the final session of the
day at the completion of the adjudication process. The
team and it members will be recognized on the AACS
website and a plaque bearing their names will be sent to
their respective college or university.
All student teams and faculty sponsors must attend this
session to participate in the competition.
The session is open to all interested persons interested in
observing the process.

ELEMENTAL SEXUAL ASSAULT PROTECTION: A
DEMONSTRATION
We are proposing to give a brief demonstration of
Elemental, a sexual assault protection program that was
developed at Ball State University by Chad Menning,
Mellisa Holtzman, and an interdisciplinary team of 15
students. This program is unique in that it uses a multimedia and hands-on approach to teach participants to
protect themselves in awkward, sexually charged, and
potentially dangerous situations using both verbal and
physical techniques. Elemental focuses primarily on
acquaintance rape, rather than stranger rape, it is
designed to give participants a variety of tools for
responding to an assault, and it offers a curriculum that is
not only grounded in social science research, but is
inclusive of men and sexual minorities as well.
Organizer: Chad Menning, Ball State
University
Facilitators:
Chad Menning, Ball State University
Mellisa Holtzman, Ball State University
For the demo we will show the audience one of five
assault scenarios (a brief video), discuss the sociological
issues involved with that kind of an assault, and demo 4
potential responses to the situation. The demo will be
interactive and engage the audience in an ongoing
dialogue as we illustrate each piece of the scenario and
discuss potential ways to deal with it.

Exercises will be designed to increase understanding
of the basics and some of the challenges that face
mediators and parties in different settings. The session
will be based on the presenter's forthcoming book Moving Toward a Just Peace: The Mediation Continuum.
ADDING FUTURING AND FORESIGHT TOOLS TO YOUR
APPLIED SOCIOLOGICAL TOOL BOX
Whether you want to include futuring and foresight in a
client workshop or you want to build a course on the
future to add to your sociology offerings this presentation
provides practical "how-to" information. Organizations
that operate in a vacuum, ignoring the increasing velocity
of change in the global community, will not succeed for
long. Driving forces are challenging by their nature and
will confront organizations of all kinds. In this workshop
consultants and educators will discover methods and
tools that can be practically applied to their academic or
corporate environment. Participants will learn how to
engage and create futures by using foresight tools from
backcasting to scenario building. Participants will actively
utilize the tools.

BRAINSTORMING: TEACHING APPLIED SOCIOLOGY—
COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY AND COOPERATION
Participate in an open brainstorming session about
teaching applied sociology. Collaborate, learn, and be
inspired with new ideas during this facilitated discussion
with attendees sharing applied ideas for the classroom.
Teachers, what activities have connected well with your
students? What did your "favorite" professors do that
inspired you, or that you still remember? Are there
questions about teaching applied sociology that you’d like
to discuss with a group of applied colleagues? Are there
resources or training available that you think would be as
useful to others as it has been to you? Is there a great
freebie technology you know about that works well in the
classroom? Things that did not go well that serves as
good lessons for others? Students, you’re also invited to
come help shape your own classroom experience.
Contribute what you have found to be the most
meaningful, interesting, or useful applied activities to

numbers of homeless young people? What are young
people finding useful in the milieu of programs and
initiatives to engage them? In Canada the ‘long
emergency’ of young people on our streets has largely
been left to concerned communities and funders of
programming asking for outcomes measures they can
support with their dollars.
Initiatives, UNF
Gary Barron, University of Alberta
Programming to outcomes succeeds in paying attention
to young people, but the factors of traditionally trained
staff who are asked to imagine the creative supported
activities for engagement often do not deliver the
ownership and independence necessary for young people
to take charge of their own choices to build their lives
toward meaningful and independent participation in
society.
Please join us in this session for a conversation that arises
when we listen to and learn from young people. For over
25 years, The Doorway has received participant initiated
writing [each month for individual 24 months of
participation] from young people about their crosscultural process of change from the culture of the street
to the culture of mainstream economy and community.
They call it ‘getting off the street’. We will share pieces of
our qualitative data mined for insight from their
perspectives of what it takes to succeed. It begins and
ends with each individual person.

"Professionalizing" Sociology begins with the
accreditation of an applied, clinical, or engaged public
program in sociological practice by the Commission on
the Accreditation of Programs in Applied and Clinical
Sociology (CAPACS). Graduates of CAPACS-accredited
programs complete a carefully-designed curriculum,
ensuring prospective employers that these candidates
possess a full spectrum of knowledge, skills, and practice
experiences that distinguish them from other job
applicants and entrants. Creating a highly educated and
trained pool of practicing sociologists furthers Sociology's
"professionalization," as these individuals possess
educational qualifications, training, and field experiences
to support their acquisition of association credentials,
including the "Certificate in Sociological Practice" (C.S.P.),
offered by AACS. State credentials such as registration,
certification, and licensure, also may be attained, if
supported by sociological practice legislation, comparable
to that enacted by "professionalized" disciplines, such as
Psychology and Social Work.
This Leadership Development Workshop will consist of
three tracks:
Dr. Michael Fleischer, CAPACS Chair, will present a brief
history and overview of CAPACS, with an interactive slideshow and handouts, covering the CAPACS accreditation
process and its benefits.
Dr. Norma Winston, CAPACS Vice Chair and Past Chair,
will discuss the CAPACS Site Visit Process, particularly
organizing and hosting meetings with university
administrators, internship site supervisors, and program
faculty and students. She will address how applicant
programs can prepare for CAPACS accreditation, and
provide examples of how students' benefit from their
tangible practice experiences, from her perspectives as a
Review Committee Chair, Department Chair, and Program
Director.
Dr. Jan Fritz, a member of the CAPACS Board of Directors,
Past Secretary of CAPACS, and Executive Board Member
of the International Sociological Association (ISA), will
discuss CAPACS's role in accrediting non-US programs,
working with the Departmental Resources Group (DRG)
of the American Sociological Association (ASA) in helping
departments prepare for accreditation, and expanding
CAPACS's presence in the Clinical Sociology Division
(RC46) of ISA.

REMEMBERING AND RECLAIMING THE GENIUS OF BEAH Organizer and Facilitator:
RICHARDS’ “A BLACK WOMAN SPEAKS OF WHITE
Cynthia Pelak, New Mexico State
WOMANHOOD,” OF WHITE SUPREMACY, OF PEACE…
University
Beah Richards is not a name that immediately comes to
mind when one thinks of feminist social theorists of the
twentieth century. Yet, her 1951 poem A Black Woman
Speaks of White Womanhood, of White Supremacy, of
Peace contains unmistakable theoretical assertions about
the simultaneity of race, gender and class oppression that
predates the scholarship on intersectionality that
emerged during the 1980s. Richards’ comparative
historical analysis critically examines the unmarked
category of white womanhood to demonstrate that
“white womanhood too is enslaved, the difference is
degree” (Fourth stanza) and to argue that black and white
women should join forces in the struggle for equality
because they “share a mutual death at the hand of
tyranny” (Sixth stanza). In this interactive session,
participants will be asked to read the poem as social
theory, consider the theoretical, epistemological, and
pedagogical lessons of the work, and envision ways that
these lessons can be used in our research, teaching,
activism, and community building.

less experienced applied and clinical sociologists in their
training and professional activities. Panelists will draw
upon their own personal experiences as practitioners,
knowledge acquired through formal educational
experiences, and their observations of the work of their

“WHOLE COMMUNITY + STRATEGIC FORESIGHT =
RESILIENCE: AN EMERGING TREND IN DISASTER
MANAGEMENT?”
What happens when government attempts strategic
foresight? Or a quasi-militaristic organization tries to
connect with the whole community? And what exactly is
a resilient society? In 2010 the Federal Emergency
Management Agency hosted a Strategic Foresight
Initiative to invite collaboration around uncertainty and
explore potential futures. In 2011 they published
a National Preparedness Goal of “a secure and resilient
nation with the capabilities required across the whole
community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond
to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose
the greatest risk.” What role do these ideas play as
emergency management becomes a full-fledged
profession? Where might the field benefit from an
applied sociological perspective? Could there be a
butterfly effect when a sociologist suddenly finds herself
working in this strange new world? Participants in this
workshop will discuss these and other questions as we
explore complex economic, environmental and
technological change; accelerating disaster risks; and
innovative approaches for a positive tomorrow.

“SPACES, PLACES, AND STATES OF MIND: A PRAGMATIC
ETHNOGRAPHY OF LIMINAL”
Homelessness is a type of social-structural limbo, or
liminality. In the US, intentional homeless communities,
such as tent camps and shantytowns fulfill the need to
house and manage pervasive long-term homeless people.
I present a pragmatic ethnography of critique (PEOC),
which uses critical and reflexive storytelling from the
point of views of participants to show how critical
capacity, that is the ability of actors to resist domination,
is related to their ability to transcend liminality. Dignity

non-profit transitional housing community in US history,
is central to a continuum of debates about the role of
homeless camps in various cities’ housing strategies.
Opponents view the village as drug-infested den of
iniquity. Supporters see it as democratic community in
the making. Theorized here as a by-product of their
perpetual liminality, this continuum of debate reflects the
ambiguity caused by the intrinsic logical contradictions of
democracy and the exigencies of living in poverty. The
villagers’ liminality, their suspension between marginal
and conventional statuses, has an implicit function in the
poverty management strategies of the city. There is a
solution. Liminal space is under-theorized as a condition
of homelessness and the critical potential of liminal
homeless populations is not well understood. In an
interdisciplinary approach, open to diversity, my research
uses video and photography in participant observation
and examines how the villagers’ critical attitudes might
contribute to the collective critical capacity of the
community. Understanding that resistance is power, it is
argued that the village needs to once again become a
critical and active player in the social critique of housing
in order to survive and go forward.

“P-h-D, THE THREE MAGIC LETTERS THAT WON’T GET
YOU A JOB: HOW CAN WE PREPARE GRAD STUDENTS
FOR NON-ACADEMIC CAREERS?”
Recently the University of Virginia did a study to better
understand graduate student's non-academic career
paths. Of 779 graduates surveyed, 74% had the goal of
being a tenured professor at the beginning of their
program. Of those aiming toward a tenure-track job 80%
were fairly or completely certain about their career goal.
None of these people actually became tenured
professors. In Canada 60-70% of PhD graduates work
outside of academia, yet graduate programs are
specifically focused on training students for tenure track
careers in the university. Moreover, there have been well

publicized calls for massive reforms and even for the
complete abolition of doctoral programs.
In June of 2013 I held a debate at the Canadian
Sociological Association Annual Conference on the topic
of the futility of graduate education and employment in
the academic job market. Discussion revealed that
students and faculty alike are concerned about nonacademic professional training and socialization for
graduate students, but are uncertain of what to do about
it. In this session I will provide some context from the
“crisis of the university” sub-genre that focuses on
graduate education (particularly doctoral training) to set
the stage for an open discussion of how we might better
integrate preparation for alt-academic or non-academic
careers into graduate education.

Session Title
“THE MAKING OF A SOCIAL PROGRAM FROM THE
CLASSROOM: IMPLEMENTING THE SOCIAL RECOVERY
INITIATIVE IN A DRUG COURT.”
Drug courts were established as an alternative to
incarceration for criminal offenders whose primary
offense is related to drug use. Traditionally, drug courts
use phases that offer therapeutic services, some work or
life skills workshops, and self-help recovery group
sessions. Stemming from her students’ observations of
drug courts throughout north Georgia, and her
own interactions with drug court staff and clients, Dr.
Boeri and her student interns developed an initiative to
fill a gap in the drug court program—the social aspects of
recovery. Based on social capital theory, specifically the
bonding and bridging dimensions of social capital, Boeri
and her student interns implemented the “Social
Recovery Initiative” (SRI) in an inner city drug court. The
SRI focused on increasing drug court clients’ social capital
instead of focusing on drug use issues. This was
accomplished by introducing clients to social activities
that addressed mind (museums, lectures, book clubs),
body (sports and exercise) and soul (the arts and
community) aspects of their lives in society. Initially,
students worked as volunteers or as interns to keep
the SRI active and institute new activities. Four years
later, the first SRI intern became the director of the inner
city drug court and a SRI coordinator was hired to
continue the program. In this presentation, Dr. Boeri will
outline how the SRI was started, continued, and
sustained with student involvement as an example of
applied service learning from theory to practice.
Discussion will follow.

“PROGRAM PLANNING AS SOCIAL DESIGN”
Interactive
Session
Morrison
Time
Social design is performed on a daily basis, albeit under
different names. A couple of examples are program
planning and recreation and leisure programming. The
purpose of this session is to make a case in support of
social design through highlighting the design nature of a
number of well-respected and institutionalized activities.
While there are misgivings and reservations about social
design, program planning enjoys popularity and is
supported by society through education, grants, and
client fees. Recreation and leisure programming is a
specific area of program planning that is also taught as a
component of leisure studies. Program planning in its
many forms combines social science imagination with
planning process models. The accumulation of expertise
and process knowledge developed in these areas
deserves to be studied and used as a foundation for
developing an emerging theory of social design. However,
at this early stage of emergence of social design, it is
more important to emphasize that different strands of
this activity are practiced ethically and with benefits to
society. After the emancipation of social design, society
can concentrate more resource to develop further its
theoretical, methodological, and ethical foundations. This
interactive session will start with a brief presentation that
will set the background for a follow up discussion on this
subject. Attendees are encouraged to participate and
share ideas, considerations, and concerns.
