Time:

MISSION: The Executive Board of SCMOI organizes the conference, selects the site each year, and produces a proceedings; we also encourage journals to launch special issues based upon cutting edge embodied presentations from our intellectual carnival. This is a place where people can develop creative and critical contributions to social science, but also be highly self-reflexive: You can find out more about What is SCMOI?

Site of next annual meeting: Orlando Fl- 2009

Our 20th sc'MOI will be held Apr 2-4 2009

Embassy Suites International Drive South/Convention Center; Although the initial page on the hotel site still has the $167 price listed, as you get into the reservations section you will see that it is lowered to $139 & includes a full cooked breakfast (not something common in US hotels) and is the lowest rate that you can get for the time period of our conference. To get lowest rate, our group name is "SCM" that is what they need to get our rate. If you have booked, but not as part of our group, I would ask you to rebook as a member of our group as we have made a commitment to the number of sleeping rooms that we are guaranteeing the hotel.; See Website for more info

Presentation Guidelines for sc'MOI

COMMENTS FROM LAST Conference:

1. "Grace Ann, David, Donna, Ken -

   I just wanted to thank you all for a stimulating and truly
   enjoyable couple of days. It was a treat to be able to sit in
   a relatively small room and banter around ideas with such a
   bright and eclectic group of scholars; you've spoiled me for
   all other conferences now!

   I'll definitely be submitting something for Orlando next year.
   Thankfully, next year's conference won't be in my home town,
   and so I'll be free of the kid duties, spousal management, and
   Temple obligations that kept me from fully engaging this time
   around...

   Lynne

2. "Great conference. I like the diversity of perspectives in this group."
3. "I want to thank you for allowing me to participate in the Sc'Moi conference this year. They say fools sometimes rush in where angels fear to tread. I confess I had no idea how extraordinarily rich and productive the conference would be. Neither did I expect to encounter such a diverse and highly accomplished group of scholars."
4. "sc'MOI folks - thank you again for allowing me into the circle!"
5. Group is small enough that it is easy to speak and get to know people. I enjoyed the critical atmosphere, the diversity of issues is very powerful.
6. "I like the treat atmosphere, where very presentation is related to the other presentations."
7. "sc"MOI is different and better than any conference I have been too"
8. "The conversations started in the sessions continue throughout the conference."
