As Deputy Editor of Teaching Sociology I am in charge of finding
reviewers for books and videos submitted for review in the journal. I have had a bit of run on videos of late and am having
trouble finding willing reviewers. I am looking for reviewers who are
willing to (1) view a DVD and determine whether it merits a TS review because
it may useful in a sociology course. (2) Then, assuming the DVD could be
useful to sociology teachers, to write a review for TS. I need reviewers for the following DVD documentaries: (1) (2) No Sweat (Amie Williams, Director) – an investigation
of the Each of these first two are described in greater detail
at: www.balmaidenfilms.com (3) Curtain Call (Chuck Braverman, Director) –
documentary featuring residents of the Actors’ Retirement Fund Home recalling
their work on Broadway and their lives. Perhaps appropriate for aging, gerontology
or life course sociologists. www.CurtainCallDVD.com
(4) To You Sweetheart, Aloha. (S. Leo Chiang &
Mercedes Coats, directors) - documentary featuring widowed 94 year old musician
and his 26 year old female manager. Perhaps appropriate for aging, gerontology
or life course sociologists. www.SweetheartAloha.com (5) The Tailenders (Adele Horne, Director) – group of
evangelical missionaries aim to make audio recordings of Bible stories in every
language on earth. They distribute recordings along with hand-wind
players especially to impoverished and displaced peoples called “The
Tailenders” because they are the last to be reached by global
evangelism. Perhaps appropriate for sociologists of religion or social
change. www.adelehorne.net If you are interested in reviewing any of these DVDs, send
me an email off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please attach your CV. I
will send the DVDs to the selected reviewers who have 2 months to complete the
review. I am always interested in locating additional book reviewers
as well. So if you’re interested in doing book reviews, let me know.
I have received several books on women & work, crime/criminal justice,
gender, Asian Americans, and service learning recently. So I am looking
for reviewers in those areas. Thanks considering it! Jay Jay Howard Professor of Sociology Head Division of Liberal Arts Deputy Editor, Teaching Sociology IUPUC www.iupuc.edu Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
