This article presents information on the Religious Research Association (RRA) 2005 Annual Meeting titled "Congregations, Denominations and Research on Religion: Promoting Cooperation," to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Rochester, New York on November 4-6, 2005. Although the behavioral study of religion now extends far beyond the narrow study of religious organizations, RRA was established, in part, to focus on denominational research. While denominational researchers often collect data to answer practical questions, many academic researchers are unaware that these same data sources could address a broad range of more general theoretical questions. The meeting encourages papers on any topic related to the behavioral study of religion. Examples of possible papers and sessions on denominational data sources includes: denominational Web pages as a source of data; survey data collected by denominations; congregational yearbook data collected by denominations; pitfalls and solutions in working with denominational data; and availability of denominationally collected data.

The report of the membership committee of the American Sociological Society as of December 1950 is divided into two parts first, a record of organization and operations since the annual meeting in New York last December. Second, policy considerations calling for directives. The work of the committee was organized around three points. The planning and direction was centralized in a headquarters committee consisting of the chairman and the executive office of the society in New York. The implementation, including extensive correspondence and clerical work, was performed by the staff of the national office. National coverage was provided by a field committee consisting of regional and state members of the membership committee and committee representatives appointed for the larger institutions. More than anything else, the effectiveness of this work is due to the cooperative and efficient implementation of plans by the executive officer and the staff of the national office. In the field twenty-five members of the society served to promote the program regionally and more than one hundred institutional representatives combed the larger local markets. The response of these field members and representatives was frequently excellent and indicates the extent of the society's resources in this and other matters when adequate directives and materials are provided centrally.

The article presents a report on "The First National Consultation on Ethnic America," which was held on June 20-21, 1968 at Fordham University, New York. The rationale behind the Consultation was put forth by Irving M. Levine, Director of Education and Urban Planning for the American Jewish Committee. He noted that white backlash to Black demands seemed to be most vehement and to have its greatest political ramifications within the working class community. It was Levine's thesis that the white working man's economic situation was one of recent and tenuous affluence. His traditional source of security was his family, but in the last few years redefinitions of roles within the working class family have lessened his sense of security. Andrew Greeley, Program Director at the National Opinion Research Council, presented the opening paper in the proceeding, entitled "Ethnicity as an Influence on Behavior." According to him, almost everyone thinks ethnicity is an important social variable-witness the balanced political ticket, the national parish or the ethnic suburb.

This article focuses on the Behavioral Approaches to Research in Industrial Relations conference held at Arden House in Harriman, New York in February 1982. Perhaps the most important accomplishment of the conference in its demonstration that little or no useful purpose is served by attempting precisely to fit industrial relations research into separate behavioral and nonbehavioral compartments. The papers presented in the conference might be used as evidence that industrial relations researchers from a variety of disciplines consider their work sufficiently behavioral to qualify for inclusion in such a collection.

This Statement on Practice Research is a work in progress. It emerges out of deliberations from three international conferences on defining and operationalizing practice research. It seeks to capture both a process and outcome in which practitioners, researchers, service users, and educators collectively engage in a negotiated process of inquiry. One of the goals of this form of research is to place equal emphasis on improving practice and improving services. Practice research also seeks to rebalance the power relations in terms of integrating the voices of service users, service providers, service researchers, and instructors preparing future and current service providers. This third statement emerges out of the most recent international conference in New York City (2012) and continues the construction of the social science and social philosophy foundation of practice research. It seeks to expand the dialogue on practice research to include more international voices while also searching for linkages with the evolving process of defining the mixed methods approach to evidence-informed practice. This Statement provides a platform for the 4th International Conference on Practice Research planned for Hong Kong in 2017. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing on the work of Barthes and Wittgenstein, this article presents an argument for taking seriously the widespread sentiment, at the time, that the events of what we have since come to call "9-11" were unspeakable. Central to the article is an analysis of two sharply contrasting responses to the 9-11 events, the Here Is New York photographic exhibition and a symposium by prominent intellectuals in The London Review of Books. The widespread revulsion that greeted such intellectual attempts to make sense of 9-11, the article argues, is not evidence of sentiment clouding reason so much as a refusal to efface a profound otherness by assimilating it to the categories of our comprehension- much like Here Is New York's use of photographs to resist the translation of 9-11 into text.

The article reports on the committee of the American Sociological Society appointed at its annual meeting held in December 1935 in New York City to study the question of affiliation with the International Federation of Sociological Societies and Institutes. Between March and June, 1936, a preliminary report was prepared and distributed by the chairman, based upon extensive correspondence and conferences with various members of the Society. The report asserts that L'Institut International de Sociologie was founded in 1893 by René Worms, who served as its Secretary-General and executive head till his death in 1915. The organization was patterned in some degree after the French Academy, and as originally conceived was designed to constitute a distinguished body limited to 300 of the world's leading sociologists. In 1909 L'Institut was given greater stability and prestige by being incorporated under the government of France, from which it receives a small subsidy. Later La F&eacutedération Internationale des Soci&eacutet&eacutes et Institus de Sociologie, as distinguished from L'Institut was established for the intellectual co-operation for scientific study of sociological problems of all regular associations of sociologists, whatever their nationality.

This article focuses on the conference Research and Practice: Bridging the Gap sponsored by the Center for the Study of Social Work Practice to be held on March 8, 1991 in New York. The theme of this conference is to look at the gaps between practice and research valid concerns of each and the ways in which the methodologies of the two cannot be integrated but intertwined to find the kind of answers needed for addressing contemporary problems. Several specific issues were raised in the conference workshops such as doctoral training and research utilization. These and other areas are also worth looking at in a different conceptual framework and have their own myths to be challenged. There is no rule book in social work that gives greater honor to a practitioner or a research professional. The researcher is not to be admired over the practitioner because of a presumed search for truth. Nor is the practitioner more to be admired because of a presumed concern for care because each group makes it own contribution. Skilled caretakers and research scholars are both needed for the advancement of social work. We should not be in a competitive situation but rather one that demands cooperative functioning.
