Web Science 2011 - Call for Abstracts
by Sprecher der Methodensektion 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

*** Apologies for cross postings *** ================================ = Web Science Conference 2011 = = = = June 15-17, Koblenz, Germany = ================================ = http://www.websci11.org/ = ================================ = Call for Abstracts = ================================ Web Science is concerned with the full scope of socio-technical relationships that are engaged in the World Wide Web. It is based on the notion that understanding the Web involves not only an analysis of its architecture and applications, but also insight into the people, organizations, policies, and economics that are affected by and subsumed within it. As such Web Science, and thus this conference, is inherently interdisciplinary and integrates computer and information sciences, sociology, economics, political science, law, management, language and communication, geography and psychology. This conference is unique in the manner in which it brings these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue and we invite papers from all these disciplines and those which cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Following the success of WebSci'09 in Athens and WebSci'10 in Raleigh we are seeking papers that demonstrate the development, scope, and relevance of the emerging field of Web Science. Possible topics for submissions include: * On-line lives: individuals and organizations shopping, dating, learning, networking * Trust and privacy * Evolving technologies -- new search technologies, linked data, new Web languages and/or protocols, and emerging application areas * The pro-human web in an unequal world: access, inequalities and agendas for change * Web futures: possibilities critiques and challenges * The web and the state: nationalism, politics. democracy * Governance control and power * Knowledge, education, and scholarship--the potential and effects of crowdsourcing and long tails * Intellectual property and the Commons * The dark side of the Web--such as cybercrime, pornography and terrorism Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline for 2-page abstracts: 28 February 2011 Notification of acceptance: 21 March 2011 Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions are in the form of extended abstracts of 250-500 words (max. 2 pages). Abstracts may be submitted in PDF (.pdf, preferred), HTML (.html), plain-text (.txt) or Word (.doc) format. Authors of accepted abstracts will have the option to submit a paper, which will be published on the conference website. The recommended length of submitted papers is 6 to 8 pages. A selection of accepted abstracts will be allotted a slot for an oral presentation and/or a poster presentation. The best submissions will be invited to a journal contribution.

Research master's "Sociology and Social Research" at the Department of Sociology/ICS, Utrecht University
by Sprecher der Methodensektion 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

January 2011 The Department of Sociology and the Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS) at Utrecht University offer a two-year research master's program "Sociology and Social Research" that is completely taught in English. Rather than being a "track" in a broader program in the behavioral and social sciences, this is the only specialized research master's program in sociology in the Netherlands. The research master's program has a clear profile, offering structured and systematic training in theoretically and methodologically advanced research in sociology and the social sciences in general. Special features of the program include: - A problem-driven approach with a substantive focus on topics such as social networks and social capital, social integration, stratification and inequality, households, organizations. - A strong focus on the integration of social theory, empirical research, and methods of data-analysis. - In various courses, students gain extensive hands on experience in state of the art social science data analysis. - Students gain hands on experience in writing a publishable research article in English: the master's thesis that completes the program is written in the format of a publishable research article. In fact, many students do indeed submit their thesis or a revised and adapted version of their thesis to a journal and quite some of these submissions are accepted for publication. Meanwhile, research articles that have developed from master's theses of the program have appeared in or are accepted for publication in journals like Social Forces, Social Networks, Journal of Marriage and the Family, European Union Politics, and others. Students regularly present their master's thesis at international conferences outside the Netherlands. Quite some students meanwhile gained prizes and awards for their theses. - The program comprises a master class taught by an outstanding visiting professor from abroad. Previous visiting professors include Andreas Diekmann, ETH Zurich; Hartmut Esser, Mannheim; Frank Kalter, Leipzig/Mannheim; Hans-Peter Blossfeld, Bamberg; Ted Mouw, North Carolina, and Walter Muller, Mannheim. Anthony Heath will be our visiting professor in 2011. Furthermore, Sociology and Social Research students themselves organize a mini-conference on their own research projects at the end of the first or the beginning of the second year of the program. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in summer schools like Essex or Ljubljana in the summer period between the first and the second year of the program. The quality of the program can be inferred, among other things, from numerous and consistently very favorable external evaluations of research and teaching in Sociology at Utrecht University and the ICS. In 2010, the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders (Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie: NVAO), the authoritative agency for assessing and accrediting higher education programs in the Netherlands, supported by an Advisory Committee of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), has concluded the evaluation and re-accreditation of the Sociology and Social Research program. The results qualify the program as the currently best research master's program in the Netherlands across al disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. Sociology at Utrecht University is repeatedly ranked highest and obtains excellent scores in the authoritative comparative assessments of Dutch research programs in sociology that are carried out regularly under the auspices of the Quality Assurance Department of the Association of Dutch Universities, including the most recent 2009 Research Assessment Sociology. Another well-known annual ranking, widely used by incoming students, is provided by the Dutch weekly ELSEVIER and includes field-specific rankings based on a survey among all full professors and associate professors in the particular field in the Netherlands. In the most recent ELSEVIER survey (published in October 2010), Utrecht has been chosen by a wide margin as the overall best Sociology Department in the Netherlands and also as the Department with the best master's program, the best teachers in Sociology, and the best publication record. Utrecht has likewise been chosen as the overall best Sociology Department in the two previous ELSEVIER SURVEYS 2009 and 2008. Students in the program benefit from intensive supervision. Instructors involved in teaching the program and supervising students include prominent researcher from the Department of Sociology and the ICS such as Vincent Buskens, Henk Flap, Tanja van der Lippe, Ineke Maas, Paul Nieuwbeerta, Anne-Rigt Poortman, Werner Raub, Rene Torenvlied, Frank van Tubergen, Beate Volker, Jeroen Weesie, and others. Students likewise benefit from much interaction and collaboration in a relatively small group of peers. Drop out rates from the program are very low. Almost all students entering the program do complete it in due time within two years. The profile of the program ensures that the labor market position of alumni is excellent: students who have completed the program are very successful in acquiring subsequent positions as PhD students at the ICS or elsewhere in and outside the Netherlands, as researchers in institutes and organizations outside the university system, as trainees, etc. "Sociology and Social Research" is part of the integrated graduate training program of the ICS that likewise comprises research master's programs at the universities of Groningen and Nijmegen and a jointly taught PhD program. Students can thus attend selected courses in Groningen and are well-prepared, for example, for an application for a position as PhD student at the ICS after having completed "Sociology and Social Research". The target group of students consists of promising students with a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent period of at least three years of undergraduate study and qualifications that justify the expectation of successful completion of the program in due time. This includes students with a BA Sociology or Social Sciences, broadly conceived and including Economics, Political Sciences, Public Administration, Demography, and (Social) Psychology. While the program is designed for students with above-average grades, motivation of students and affinity with the program have proven to be important. Quite some students with good but clearly less than excellent grades from previous studies have entered and enjoyed the program and have completed it with very good results, due to a clearly structured curriculum, sound supervision, and interaction and collaboration with peers. Applicants with deficiencies in methods and statistics can be admitted conditional upon participation in a methods and statistics summer course right before the start of the first year of the program that is offered specifically for incoming research master's students by the Graduate School of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Utrecht University. Students from outside the Netherlands are explicitly encouraged to apply and can easily follow the program since it is taught in English. About 50% of the students are from outside the Netherlands, up to now including students from Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, various countries in Central and Eastern Europe as well as students from, e.g., China, Israel, Taiwan, and Turkey. Admission to the program is selective. "Sociology and Social Research" is one of Utrecht University's Prestige master's programs and thus benefits from special funds of Utrecht University. Some teaching and research assistantships are available for students. Also, some financial support is available for participation in summer schools outside the Netherlands (for example, Essex, Ljubljana, and Ann Arbor). Each year, a new group of students enters the program. We are currently searching for talented candidates for the academic year 2011/2012. Courses for this group will start on September 1, 2011. The DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS for the academic year 2011/2012 is March 1, 2011. The number of new students per year is limited to 15-20. Detailed information on the program, including courses taught, is available at www.uu.nl/programmes/sasr Information about the Department of Sociology of Utrecht University is available at www.uu.nl/sbs/ics Please use gs.sbs(a)uu.nl for any inquiries about the program and about admission procedures. Please don't hesitate to draw the attention of talented students to the program. Also, please don't hesitate to forward this message to other colleagues who might wish to inform students on the program.
