100th Annual Meeting
August 13-16, 2005

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations
Accounting for the Rising and Declining Significance of Sociology
This is the centennial for the Association, so the meeting theme should be sufficiently expansive to address a wide historical
sweep, and yet have sufficient focus to provide a framework in which to address key aspects of the social history of the
discipline—its contemporary situation and its potential future development.
Each of the three elements from the title “Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations” is designed to produce a
fruitful meeting frame:
First, the notion of “comparative perspectives” is itself “accordion-like” and can fit a number of purposes and goals. There
is the international aspect, so that we can incorporate a comparison of American sociology with international developments.
There is the internal evolution of perspectives inside of the United States, which would include the development and emergence
of challenging and oppositional perspectives in the discipline, from the Society for the Study of Social Problems, to Sociologists
for Women in Society, to the Association of Black Sociologists, to name but a few organizational manifestations of the
challenges of the last half century. There are others that will surely surface from the general call.
Second, there is the notion of “competing explanations.” Competing explanations (from psychological to biological to
economistic), and their resonance or lack thereof in public policy debates (among the general population, political activists, and
community organizers) is the way in which this whole matter of the significance of the discipline—including its variable status
with such funding sources as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and a full range of private
foundations—is segue to:
Third, “What could be characterized as the ‘rising and declining significance of Sociology’”? Here, we encourage an
explicit look back across the full century to try to account for the various periods in which there was a sense of ascendancy and
a receptivity (along a continuum, of course) in the various arenas noted above. The “declining significance of sociology” is
deliberatively provocative and could be the source of some scintillating debates and contestation.

Program Highlights
Greetings from 2005 Program Committee
Dear Colleagues,
This is the Centennial year of the American Sociological Association, and we will use the gathering here in
Philadelphia to celebrate and reflect upon one hundred years of gemeinschaft und gesellschaft, peace and conflict, theory
and practice. The Program Committee has devoted twenty-two sessions to various aspects of the centennial, from a long
look back over the social history of the discipline and the society (and the inter-relationships between), to current
assessments and stock-taking – to some inevitable crystal ball gazing.
The opening plenary on Friday evening, August 12, at 7:00 p.m., will be devoted to analyses of the aftermath of the
tsunami, literally and metaphorically about devastation and rebuilding. We all know about the sudden and massive
destruction and loss of human life, but we know little about the rebuilding and social transformations of the regions hardest
hit. Kai Erikson will chair this session, and among those presenting will be Imam Prasodjo, a sociologist at the University of
Indonesia, Director and Founder of Yayasan Nurani Dunia (Foundation for Humanitarian Aid to Victims of Social and
Natural Disaster).
The first decade of the new century has ushered in important shifts in the political terrain of the nation – most notably
a new surge rightward in our major political institutions. How to best account for, and what “competing explanations and
comparative perspectives” might be brought to bear to help better understand these developments? On Saturday, August
13, at 12:30 p.m., the second plenary, which is co-sponsored by SSSP, ABS, and SWS, will feature the distinguished
historian, Dan T. Carter, two well-known legal scholars (Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres), and Tom Frank, author of
What’s the Matter with Kansas. Picking up a version of this theme for the last plenary on Monday, August 15, at 12:30
p.m., will be political analyst Kevin Phillips, author of Wealth and Democracy. Patricia Hill Collins and Arlie Hochschild
will contribute to this session by adding some of their own sociological commentary, placing the discussion in situated
socio-historical contexts.
As you browse through the program and wander through the exhibits, you will see that the centennial celebration is
evident in many ways. Look for a series of timeline banners outlining notable events in sociology and the world-at-large.
One special centennial highlight on Saturday night is the premiere showing of Lester F. Ward: A Life’s Journey, a new
documentary film that chronicles the life and ideas of the first president of this society/association — his strong advocacy
for women, fierce resistance to the eugenics movement, and recognition of the need for public sociology. Among several
other tours and sight-seeing options, the local arrangements committee has arranged a walking tour of sites W.E.B DuBois
described a full century ago in The Philadelphia Negro, most appropriate for the centennial.
Your participation in this year’s centennial program
helped create a new record—there are more than 600
program sessions on the roster this year. From the
substantive regular paper sessions to special invited panels to
the wide range of workshops, there is plenty for all.
Welcome to Philadelphia!

Major Plenary Sessions
The Annual Meeting theme of
“Comparative Perspectives, Competing
Explanations: Accounting for the Rising
and Declining Significance of Sociology” is being
addressed from the Opening Plenary Session on August 12
to the final mid-day Plenary on August 15.
Social Implications and Aftermath of the Tsunami
Session 7, Friday, August 12, 7:00 – 8:45 p.m.
Philadelphia Loews Hotel, Millennium Hall
Centennial Opening
Welcome by ASA President Troy Duster
Centennial Film Presentation: A Century of Progress:
Presidential Reflections (produced by Gale Largey, 2005)
This 20-minute film gives a brief overview of the founding of the
American Sociological Society and continues with a review of each of
the successive presidents of the society/association from 1905-2005.
Plenary
Organizer and Presider: Kai Erikson, Yale University
Panel: Carol Bellamy, President of World Learning for
International Development and former executive director
of UNICEF
Imam Budi Prasodjo, University of Indonesia Faculty of
Social and Political Sciences, Director and Founder of
Yayasan Nurani Dunia (Foundation for Humanitarian Aid
to Victims of Social and Natural Disaster)
The tsunami that struck suddenly and devastated the regions
directly affected captured headlines and saturated media coverage for
several weeks, in large measure because of the immediate vast toll on
human life. While the long-term social and political effects of the
tsunami will not receive much media attention, social scientists
working in the area have much to tell us about how to better understand
profound social adjustments and impacts that otherwise go unreported.
This session brings together some of the leading experts on the topic to
bring a sociological perspective to such matters as rebuilding
infrastructure, material and non-material.
Comparative Perspectives on the Rightward Turn in US
Politics (co-sponsored by the Association for Applied and
Clinical Sociology, the Association of Black Sociologists,
the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and
Sociologists for Women in Society)
Session 86, Saturday, August 14, 12:30-2:15 p.m.
Organizer and Presider: Troy Duster, New York University
Panelists: Dan T. Carter, Historian, University of South
Carolina and author of From George Wallace to Newt
Gingrich: Race in the Conservative Counterrevolution,
1963-1994
Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres, authors of The Miner’s
Canary
Thomas Frank, author, What’s the Matter with Kansas
The last election produced a situation where both houses of
Congress, the Presidency, and increasingly the federal judiciary will be
guided by a sharply rightward shift in politics, probably more so than at
any time in the last eight decades. A historian, two legal scholars, and a
social analyst of “middle America” come together on this panel to
discuss different aspects of “the stakes” in play.
The Shifting Political Terrain
Session 428, Monday, August 15, 12:30-2:15 p.m.
Organizer and Presider: Troy Duster, New York University
Speaker: Kevin Phillips, Author, Wealth and Democracy
Panelists: Patricia Hill Collins, University of Cincinnati
Arlie Hochschild, University of California, Berkeley
Continuing the theme that the country is experiencing notable
seismic shifts in the political sphere, Kevin Phillips will add his current
thinking to this topic. From The Southern Strategy to American
Dynasty, Phillips has been one of the more astute and provocative
analysts of the last four decades, and always provides a wide sociohistorical overview. Patricia Hill Collins and Arlie Hochschild will
contribute to this session by adding some of their own sociological
commentary, placing the discussion in situated socio-historical
contexts.
Address by President Duster
ASA Awards Ceremony
The Presidential Plenary featuring the formal address

action-oriented social reformers as well as puretheoretical-academic scholars. The film recognizes some
of the prominent founding members, including Nobel
Prize recipients Jane Addams and Emily Balch, along with
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a renowned leader of the
women’s rights movement. The documentary continues
with glimpses of the sociological thought of each
president of the American Sociological Association from
1906 to the present.
This film was developed and produced by Gale Largey,
Mansfield University, with the assistance of Michael
Murphy, ASA Archivist. Craig Calhoun, President of the
Social Science Research Council, served as a consultant
for the project.

Lester Ward: A Life's Journey will premiere on
Saturday, August 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Grand Salon H at the
Philadelphia Marriott. This 90-minute documentary
describes in detail the life and ideas of Lester F. Ward,
founder of American sociology and first president of the
American Sociological Society. The film takes note of
Ward’s intense insistence about equal opportunity in
education, his vigorous advocacy of the women’s
movement, his staunch opposition to the classism and
racism inherent in the early eugenics movement, and his
recognition of the need for applied sociology in the
functioning of government.
The documentary was written, directed, and produced
by Gale Largey in association with Mark Polonia, Phil
Ogden, and many other individuals. Largey, who
completed his doctorate in sociology from SUNY-Buffalo
in 1972, recently retired from a 35-year teaching career at
Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. He has produced
several documentaries, including The Austin Disaster,
1911: A Chronicle of Human Courage, which has been
shown on various PBS stations and selected for showing
at the Full Frame/Double Take.
All meeting attendees are invited to view these special
films and celebrate the legacy of Lester F. Ward at this
centennial meeting.
Regional Spotlight
More than half a century has elapsed since
ASA last met in Philadelphia, although
members of the Eastern Sociological Society
have visited this historical city several times
in recent years. The site of this year’s Annual Meeting
affords meeting attendees many opportunities to brush up
on their American history, explore areas important to
sociological traditions, and sample the flavors and textures
of the cultural, culinary, artistic, and ethnic treasures that
abound in this city and its surrounding countryside.
President Troy Duster appointed a local support
committee comprised of Magali Sarfatti Larson, chair
(Temple University), John Connors (LaSalle University),
Mary J. Gallant (Rowan University), Karen Halnon
(Pennsylvania State University-Abingdon), Ross Koppel
(University of Pennsylvania and Social Research
Corporation), Victor Lidz (Drexel University), Doug
Porpora (Drexel University), Caleb Rosado (Eastern
University), Kim Lane Scheppele (University of
Pennsylvania), and Robin Wagner-Pacifici (Swarthmore
College), to propose special panels, develop a program of
local tours, prepare a restaurant guide, and write special
articles for ASA Footnotes.
You have already enjoyed some of the special feature
articles about Philadelphia that have appeared in ASA’s
newsletter Footnotes. To reread these special feature
articles, visit the Annual Meeting homepage and click on
the Philadelphia Articles link on the “Regional Sessions
and Tours” page.
Check the “Explore Philadelphia” section on page 28
for information about the guided tours and sightseeing
opportunities being offered to meeting attendees. Don’t
forget to review the local restaurant guide prepared by
Jennifer Murray, Robin Wagner-Pacifici, Magali SarfattiLarson, and Ross Koppel. Each registrant will receive a
copy of that guide in the Final Program packet distributed
on-site in Philadelphia.

This year marks the 14th anniversary of the Research
Support Forum, which features research funding
information, data resources, and discussion of science
policy issues throughout the Annual Meeting.
The Forum begins on Saturday, August 13, with a
workshop on the status of IRBs. On Sunday, August 14,
the day starts with sessions key to science policy issues
and obtaining or developing sources of support and moves
to afternoon workshops on data archives and international
collaborations. The focus on Monday morning, August 15,
is on poster exhibits featuring data resources and funding
opportunities, and a grant-writing workshop. The Forum
concludes Monday afternoon with more workshops on
data resources.
The Research Support Forum is designed to provide
invaluable help, access, and consideration of important
substantive and policy issues for new researchers and
more experienced scholars. From the opening workshop
on Saturday to the closing workshop on Monday,
attendees can count on plentiful access to funding experts
and data sources during this year’s Forum. A

Open Refereed Roundtables
The 2005 Program Committee has continued this open
general roundtable component, which was added to the
general program eight years ago to augment the
specialized roundtables sponsored by many sections.
Jennifer Lena and Richard A. Peterson (Vanderbilt
University) were invited to review submissions and
organize roundtables using a “mini-session” format: a
general topic identified for each table, two to five paper
presentations, and a table presider to coordinate
presentations and discussion.
Two large roundtable session comprised of 20 tables
each were created for this year’s program. Look for Open
Refereed Roundtables I (Session 262) on Sunday, August
14, at 12:30 p.m., and Open Refereed Roundtables II
(Session 346) at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, August 15. Both
roundtable sessions are being held in Grand Salon E at the
Philadelphia Marriott.
Please note that all roundtables presentations listed on
a session are held simultaneously in one large meeting
room; neither audio-visual equipment nor recording
devices may be used.

Poster Sessions
Regular Sessions
This program component features a series of display
presentations that allow face-to-face conversation between
authors and viewers. By facilitating informal discussions
between presenters and “browsers,” Poster Sessions
provide a more direct forum for information exchange
than do formal paper presentations.
Informational poster presentations provide information
on resources, materials, and opportunities. The annual
Research Support Forum includes a major poster session
to highlight research funding opportunities and data
resources. As part of the Graduate Education focus, a
resource poster area will be available for browsing
throughout the meeting, and there are two designated
times when attendees can expect to meet representatives
from participating graduate departments of sociology.
The varied roster of display presentations includes
something of interest for every meeting attendee. Be sure
to include some time in your schedule to visit this year’s
poster displays, adjacent to the ASA Exhibits and the ASA
Bookstore in Franklin Hall at the Philadelphia Marriott.
Regular Sessions are comprised of research papers
submitted in response to the 2005 Call for Papers. The
2005 Program Committee appointed organizers for 136
general Regular Session topics and announced that topics
were open to submissions from ASA members. Paper
submissions were due by January 18, 2005.
Each Regular Session organizer received anywhere
from 2 to 99 submissions for review. A total of 203 formal
paper sessions were organized from the 2,000 submitted
papers. Please refer to the Program Schedule for details on
each Regular Session.
Be sure to check the ASA website this fall for
information on making your paper submission for next
year’s Annual Meeting. The paper submission deadline is
expected to be January 18, 2006.

Seminars
Methodological Seminars are designed to keep
sociologists abreast of recent scholarly trends and
developments. Experts considered to be at the forefront of
a given field are invited by the Program Committee to
conduct these intensive sessions.
Seminar speakers will present materials to explain
specialized developments within their topic areas.
Seminars are scheduled for an hour and forty minutes or
for three hours; please see the detailed listings below for
session details and brief descriptions provided by the
leaders.
Attendance at each seminar is limited to 50 registrants.
Prepaid registration is required; fees are $30. Seminar
preregistrants should have received their tickets with their
name badges when they picked up their program packets.
Seminar fees were non-refundable after July 13.

Foyer at the Philadelphia Marriott.
Ensemble Statistical Methods for Data Mining in the Social
Sciences
Leader: Richard A. Berk, University of California, Los Angeles
This workshop will focus is on “ensemble methods,” which are an
especially promising special case of algorithmic methods. The term “ensemble
predictors” is commonly reserved for bundled fits produced by a stochastic
algorithm, the output of which is some combination of a large number of passes
through the data. Bagging and random forests are two powerful illustrations
Although ensemble methods are seeing increasing use in the natural sciences,
they are virtually untried in the behavioral, social and economic sciences. In this
workshop, there will be an overview of algorithmic methods, a more in depth
consideration of ensemble approaches and illustrations of several kinds of
applications. The applications will be five broad kinds: 1) description of the
relationships between a set of predictors and a response, 2) classification
problems, 3) forecasting, 4) improved covariance adjustments, and 5) regression
diagnostics. All will involve social science data. There will be handouts, internet
18
links for more detailed treatments, and access to free software. Participants in
the workshop should have a good working knowledge of at least the generalized
linear model (e.g., linear regression, logistic regression). Familiarity with the
bootstrap and classification and regression trees would be helpful.
Event History Analysis
Session 202, Sunday, August 14, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Leader: Trond Petersen, University of California, Berkeley
This seminar gives an introduction to methods for analyzing event history
data, often known as duration, failure time, waiting time, survival, or hazard rate
analysis. Event history data typically contain information about the date a
sample member (e.g., person, organization, nation) entered a social state, for
example an employment state, the date the state was subsequently left or the
date the person was last observed in the state, and if the state was left, the value
of the next state entered, and so on. The goal of the analysis is to estimate how
fast or slow groups of people move between states and which factors influence
the rate of movement.
Counterfactual Causal Modeling
Leader: Felix Elwert, Harvard University
This seminar provides an overview of central concepts from the
counterfactual approach to causal inference (a.k.a. potential outcomes model,
Rubin model). The seminar emphasizes the usefulness of the counterfactual
approach for thinking about causal mechanisms and bridging the gap between
social theory and statistical methods. We will stress intuition and heuristics over
statistical recipes and proofs. However, some new statistical material will be
introduced. Topics include: potential outcomes; the fundamental problem of
causal inference; experimental analogy; matching and propensity scores;
relationship with OLS and standard methods; point treatments versus timevarying treatments; confounding and the role of social theory in causal
estimation. Background: an advanced course on applied multiple regression and
a good understanding of the intuition behind standard methods (OLS, logit,
instrumental variables). Participants are encouraged to read pages 659-69, 67178 in Winship and Morgan. 1999. “The Estimation of Causal Effects from
Observational Data.” Annual Review of Sociology 1999.
Qualitative Analysis and Qualitative Software: Strategies for
Integration
Session 340, Monday, August 15, 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. – SOLD OUT
Leaders: Raymond C. Maietta, ResearchTalk, Inc.
Sharlene J. Hesse-Biber, Boston College
This session is based on two important premises: (1) the use of qualitative
software does not have to threaten the methodological integrity of qualitative
researchers’ work (2) qualitative software accommodates a wide range of data
analysis techniques. Highlighting both innovative and classic features of
ATLAS.ti, ETHNOGRAPH, HyperRESEARCH, MAXqda, and NVIVO we
demonstrate how off-screen manual methods used to analyze qualitative data
can be employed and enhanced with qualitative software. Areas of focus
include: Variety of data formats: Options for analysis of text, audio, video and
images Episode Profiles: Summaries and representations of data collection
episodes Memo writing as stand alone analytical method. Codebook and theme
evolution: The process of creating codes and themes and finding patterns in your
data. Strategies for data review and presentation This session will be run
seminar-style; there will be NO hands-on computer work. Presenters will
encourage active participation throughout the session. This seminar will run for
3 hours, with one short break.
Fuzzy Sets and Case-Oriented Research
Leader: Charles C. Ragin, University of Arizona
Fuzzy sets are used to scale degree of membership in sets, using values in
the interval from 0 to 1 (ranging from full nonmembership to full membership).
Fuzzy set analysis is gaining popularity in the social sciences today because of
the close connections it enables between verbal theory, substantive knowledge
(especially in the calibration of set membership), and data analysis, using basic
set theoretic principles. This workshop focuses on the use of fuzzy sets in caseoriented research, where the investigator has a degree of familiarity with the
cases included in the investigation and seeks to understand cases
configurationally—as specific combinations of aspects or elements. Using
fuzzy-set methods, case outcomes can be examined in ways that allow for causal
complexity, where different combinations of causally relevant conditions
combine to generate the outcome in question. Also, with fuzzy-set methods it is
a possible to evaluate arguments that causal conditions are necessary or
sufficient. Examinations of this type are outside the scope of conventional
analytic methods. Participants are expected to have general familiarity with both
qualitative and quantitative methods. Some prior exposure to set theory
(Boolean algebra) or qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is recommended.
Structuring Discovery: A Model and Method for Multisite Team
Ethnography
Session 549, Tuesday, August 16, 10:30 a.m. – 12:10 p .m.
Leaders: Linda Burton, Pennsylvania State University
Stephen Matthews, Pennsylvania State University
Debra Skinner, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
This seminar is intended for social scientists interested in conducting large
longitudinal multi-site team ethnographies as part of program projects or multimethod studies which include observational and survey components. Using
“structured discovery,” the framework we developed to successfully conduct
two large longitudinal ethnographic studies of families and poverty in urban and
rural settings (Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study
www.jhu.edu/~welfare and The Family Life Project), we provide concrete
examples of the highly effective systems of communication, data transfer,
management, and analysis we used to orchestrate the activities of multisite
ethnographic teams comprising over 215 members and produce high quality,
reliable and valid ethnographic data. We also introduce a novel methodological
strategy-Geoethnography. We developed Geoethnography to integrate
ethnographic methods and data on families and communities with Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) technology to inform our understanding of families’
use of time and space.
Workshops
One of the strengths of the educational component of
the Annual Meeting is the breadth and variety of
workshops offered. These sessions provide opportunities
for attendees to update their knowledge and skills in a
variety of professional areas. For 2005, workshop topics
focus on careers and professional growth, academic
department strategies, research skills and major datasets,
teaching challenges, funding opportunities and grant
writing skills, enhanced teaching of standard courses,
ethical issues, and more.
19
All workshops emphasize interaction between leaders
and audience, and attendees are encouraged to bring
questions or problems for discussion. Every workshop is
open to all meeting registrants.
An overview of workshop topics is listed below.
Please see the full session listings in the body of the
Program Schedule for details.

Institutionalizing Public Sociology
Open Forum
The Task Force on Institutionalizing Public
Sociology wants to hear from you! On Saturday, August
13, from 2:30 p.m. – 4:10 p.m. in Room 407 at the
Philadelphia Marriott, join in the Open Forum. Hear about
the work done by the Task Force and comment on ways
you think public sociology can and should (or not) be
institutionalized in ASA and in departments. For example,
the Task Force has gathered examples of public sociology
24
to show the scope and variety of this work. They have
drafted guidelines for promotion and tenure, to include
and evaluate public sociology. Check the ASA website for
drafts of their work. Your comments will help the Task
Force make important, useful, and practical
recommendations to ASA Council.
Section Activities
Looking for a way to find colleagues with similar
research interests? Section activities offer one convenient
avenue for connecting with like-minded scholars. These
specialized sessions range in format from formal paper
presentations to panels and discussion roundtables. Sectionsponsored sessions are open to all meeting registrants.
Sections promote ongoing communication among their
members by publishing newsletters, supporting cooperative
research ventures, recognizing outstanding work by
professionals and students in their specialties, and
sponsoring program activities at each Annual Meeting.
ASA members with interests in specialized areas of
sociological inquiry may join any Section of the
Association. Stop by the ASA Membership table in the
Grand Ballroom Foyer at the Philadelphia Marriott to
browse through recent section newsletters and pick up
section membership information. Of course, if you join a
section before September 30, your membership will help
support that section’s program allocation for 2005.
The number of sessions allocated to each Section is
based on the size of the Section membership. For the 44
sections, including one section-in-formation (Evolution &
Sociology), there are a total of 180 sessions/meetings
scheduled. Section activities are summarized on the next
page for quick reference.
Section Council Meetings
The total formal allocation of space for each section
is comprised of two parts: (a) one “business” slot for
holding a one-hour Council meeting followed by a 40minute Business meeting; and (b) the earned program
session allocation. ASA Council does permit Sections to
use their Council meeting time (one hour) for other
purposes. However, a Section that chooses to use this
option forfeits the services of the ASA Office in the
arrangement of an alternate Council meeting time and
location. The Council meetings listed below are the extent
of the information available at press time. Check at the
ASA Information Desk in the Grand Ballroom Foyer for
any updates provided by section chairs during the course
of the convention.

It’s the Law
Twelfth Annual ASA Chair Conference
The theme of the eleventh annual ASA Chair
Conference is “It’s the Law.” Designed for new and
current chairs at all types of institutions, the conference
provides “briefings” on issues of critical importance for
departmental leadership. Panels, roundtables, and informal
conversation facilitate sharing information and advice.

Explore Philadelphia
One of the best ways to get a feel for the people and
communities in Philadelphia is to take advantage of one or
more of this year’s local tours. The schedule of tours is
provided below, with descriptions and capacity limits.
Reservations were mandatory. Those who are already
enrolled in tours should have received their tickets in their
badge envelopes.
Most tours have already sold out, as shown below, but
there are a few tickets remaining for Tour 7 (Philadelphia
Mainline) and Tour 8 (Philadelphia Murals). If you wish to
buy one of the remaining tickets or check on the status of a
tour, please stop by the ASA Tickets desk in the Grand
Ballroom Foyer at the Philadelphia Marriott.
Most tour sites are accessible to persons with
disabilities; however, tour buses are generally not
accessible to attendees in wheelchairs unless arranged in
advance. Attendees needing wheelchair-accessible
transportation for a tour should contact the on-site ASA
Office in Room 502 at the Philadelphia Marriott at least 24
hours in advance of the scheduled tour departure.
Fees are noted with the descriptions below and include
all entrance fees. All fees go toward tour handling, entrance
fees, handouts (if any), and group transportation costs. Tour
fees are non-refundable. If a tour has been cancelled due to
insufficient enrollment, however, fees will be refunded in
full.
The type of transportation involved is noted with each
tour description. Attendees who opt to use an alternate
mode of transportation, e.g., taking a cab instead of walking
or riding the bus, will be completely responsible for the cost
of that transportation.
All tour groups will depart from the 12th Street entrance
of the Philadelphia Marriott. Attendees are advised to arrive
promptly; there are no refunds for “missing the bus.” Keep
in mind that the arrival times back to the hotel are estimates
only and may vary somewhat due to traffic conditions.
Tours 1 & 2: The Barnes Collection – SOLD OUT
Friday, August 12, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. (Tour 1) ; or 12:30 – 3:30
p.m. (Tour 2)
Fee: $20
The Barnes Foundation in Lower Merion, PA, is probably the world’s
most important private collection of late nineteenth century and twentieth
century French paintings. Dr. Barnes made his extraordinary art collection and
his home into the basis of the Foundation, which is housed in Dr. Barnes’s
home, designed by the great neo-classic architect Paul Cret. The hanging of the
works reflects Dr. Barnes’s theories of aesthetic appreciation; while these
theories are not self-evident, the extraordinary number and unparalleled beauty
of the paintings and sculptures immediately stun the visitor. Cézanne, Renoir,
and Matisse shine above all others, but the collection also includes masterpieces
by Manet, Seurat, Modigliani, Soutine, Degas, Rousseau, Picasso, and others.
African art and Pennsylvania Dutch crafts grace the rooms, and the gardens and
Arboretum are also superb.
The Barnes can only be seen by reservation, and Lower Merion is not that
simple to reach. For this reason, the Regional Spotlight Committee considered it
a duty to make this extraordinary art experience available to the ASA
convention guests. We urge you to reserve this tour (which only includes
transportation and reserved entrance to the galleries and gardens) as soon as
possible. (Bus/walking tour, limited to 23 participants)
Tour 3: Germantown Avenue – SOLD OUT
Saturday, August 13, 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $20
Leader: Elijah Anderson, University of Pennsylvania
This will be a bus tour down Germantown Avenue, one of Philadelphia's
most historic streets. The avenue is a major Philadelphia artery that dates back to
colonial days. Eight and a half miles long and running mostly southeast, it links
the northwest suburbs with the heart of inner-city Philadelphia. It traverses a
varied social terrain as well. Germantown Avenue provides an excellent cross
section of the social ecology of Philadelphia. Along this artery live the well-todo, the middle classes, the working poor, and the very poor—the diverse
segments of urban society. The story of Germantown Avenue can therefore
serve in many respects as a metaphor for the whole city. The avenue, we will
see, is a natural continuum characterized largely by a code of civility at one end
and a code of conduct regulated by the threat of violence—the code of the
street—at the other. The tour will end by visiting Philadelphia neighborhoods,
now parts of Center City Philadelphia, that were studied by W.E.B. DuBois at
the turn of the last century. (Bus tour, limited to 30 participants)
Tour 4: The Eastern Penitentiary, a Baseball Field, and an
Art Collection: Conflict, Control and Resolution in
Urban Life (easternstate.org) – SOLD OUT
Saturday, August 13, 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Fee: $24
Leader: Sherri Grasmuck, Temple University
A bus will take us from the hotel, down the magnificent Parkway, toward
the Eastern Penitentiary, a foremost example of radial jail, focus of
Tocqueville's visit in the early nineteenth century. Dr. Grasmuck will narrate the
buildings of the Parkway as we descend it but also, and above all, recent
conflicts that have been centered on the avenue and involved issues of
gentrification and city/suburbs relations. The guided visit of the penitentiary, a
unique Philadelphia monument will take one hour. If possible, we shall
contemplate the sunset on the Schuykill on our way back to the hotels.
(Bus/walking tour, limited to 30 participants)
Tour 5: Reflections of Philadelphia’s History in its Built
Environment – SOLD OUT
Sunday, August 14, 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $20
Leader: David Elesh, Temple University
Philadelphia’s history is reflected in its physical environment. Its
structures and streets express its origins as a colonial walking city, its rise to
19th and early 20th century prominence as an industrial city, and its 21st century
efforts to become a national center for higher education and medical services.
This tour through residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhoods shows
how the physical environment symbolizes changing economic objectives,
socioeconomic status, tastes, and technologies, and shapes recent and current
redevelopment. We will tour areas that succeeded in redeveloping, areas that are
currently redeveloping, and areas that failed to redevelop—asking how their
physical structures constrain their current characteristics and future possibilities.
The areas we will visit include the American Street Corridor, a failed effort to
create a suburban manufacturing district within a 19th industrial neighborhood;
the Penn area, home to the university’s continuing effort to remake its
surroundings; and Manayunk, an upscale commercial and residential
29
neighborhood created from a 19th century manufacturing area that slowly went
downhill for a century until reinvented in the 1980s. (Bus tour, limited to 30
participants)
Tour 6: Society Hill and Independence National Park: A
Stroll for Sociologists – SOLD OUT
Sunday, August 14, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $5
Leader: George Dowdall, St. Joseph’s University
Philadelphians call their downtown “Center City.” It is the third-largest
residential downtown in the US, after New York and Chicago, and during the
past decade has been booming. This tour, led by a Center City sociologist,
highlights two of the most sociologically interesting parts of its life. We begin at
the Independence National Park Visitors Center, itself a short walk from the
ASA Convention Hotel. We walk past Independence Hall, where America’s
national political institutions were founded. But we also walk past some of the
places where American civil society was founded or shaped, including the first
learned society, the first jail, the first general hospital, and the first institution to
care for the mentally ill. A short distance away is the site where W.E.B. DuBois
lived and gathered his insights for The Philadelphia Negro. Nearby is the
country’s first urban playground, and near it the Mother Bethel AME Church,
the oldest parcel of land owned by African Americans in the US. We walk on
cobblestone streets and through hidden pathways in Society Hill, the city’s most
historic residential neighborhood—one of the first and probably the most
successful example of urban renovation in America. The tour ends with
instructions on how to order an authentic Philly cheesesteak at the best purveyor
on lively South Street (“Where do all the hippies meet?” as they sang in the
60’s, and once the center of the Philadelphia Jewish community); veggie
alternatives are available for the risk-aversive. (Walking tour, limited to 30
participants)
Tour 7: The Philadelphia Main Line
Sunday, August 14, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Fee: $20
Leader: Victor Lidz, Drexel University
The Philadelphia Main Line is the country's first modern suburb,
developed in the latter part of the 19th century by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
first as a series of elegant, upper class, summer vacation communities, then as
commuter suburbs. Land that had earlier been devoted to farming and industry
(mills and foundries) was reorganized into elegant country estates with nearby
villages as commercial centers and places of residence for the working and
middle classes. Over time the communities have become multi-class commuting
suburbs anchored by historic institutions serving the region, all superimposed
over landscapes that often are exceptionally beautiful while also readily
accessible to Philadelphia. The tour will drive by such institutions as Haverford
and Bryn Mawr Colleges, the nation's first shopping center at Suburban Square,
the old working class suburb of Narberth, some of the beautiful estates of Bryn
Mawr, Gladwyne, and Villanova, and some of the public parks of the area. The
tour will examine the area's visible history of transformations: old mill sites,
streams, and ponds; great 19th and early 20th century estates of the Philadelphia
upper class, old estates divided into middle class developments, and the now
rapidly growing phenomenon of expensive "McMansions". (Bus tour, limited to
30 participants)
Tour 8: Philadelphia Murals
Monday, August 15, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $20
Since its inception in 1984, the Mural Arts Program has completed more
murals than any other public art program in the nation. Our murals—historical
scenes and allegories, landscapes, abstractions, and portraits of community
heroes—are rightly famous for their high quality and their numbers.
Philadelphia has about 2,500 indoor and outdoor murals, blooming on formerly
graffiti-scarred walls, above vacant lots, and in half-abandoned streets. This
effort of bringing art to the cityscape has far reaching effects. They grace a
beautiful but often impoverished city, and they create a sense of community, as
artists and community members develop relationships that will turn their artistic
visions into reality. Visiting the murals with the Mural Arts Program will not
only touch and delight you, but show you the many faces of this city, taking you
across many neighborhoods you would not otherwise visit.
The Mural Arts Program also works to involve the city's residents in the
creative process, offering art education programs at recreation centers, homeless
shelters, and other sites throughout Philadelphia. (Bus tour, limited to 40
participants)
Tour 9: The Seventh Ward – SOLD OUT
Tuesday, August 16, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $5
Leader: Reynolds Farley, University o f Michigan
W.E.B. DuBois’ study of Philadelphia initiated empirical investigations of
American cities. His Seventh Ward is a fascinating area, since when he
described it in 1897, a large segment of it was a Negro slum with much crime.
Today it is a very prosperous and attractive, even elegant, urban neighborhood
with many of the most expensive homes to be found in Philadelphia.
The walking tour consists of four miles of historic venues, neighborhoods
and streets, and takes approximately two hours. Highlights include the Clinton
Street Historic District, the home of Susan Wharton, and the Mother Bethel
African Methodist Church. (Walking tour, limited to 40 participants)
Film/Video Screenings
Seventeen films have been selected for the 2005
film/video screening series, organized by Victoria
Hougham, ASA Academic and Professional Affairs
Program. Room 301 at the Philadelphia Marriott has been
set aside for use as a Film/Video Screening room for
showing these recent video and film releases throughout
the Annual Meeting.
Videos and films to be shown include:
Against the Grain (The Way We Live, Video 7): The Way We Live is
a comprehensive introduction to Sociology distance learning course.
This video looks at differing views on sexuality and violent crime as
well as explores some of the moral, religious and psychological factors
that play a role in understanding deviant behavior. Programs like
Delancey Street, shown in the video, may provide an effective means of
assisting former criminals to become productive members of
mainstream society. 30 minutes, 2005. INTELECOM/Prentice Hall:
www.intelecom.org.
All Together (The Way We Live, Video 6): The Way We Live is a
comprehensive introduction to Sociology distance learning course. This
video looks at organizational behavior and includes discussion around
the ideas of Frederick Taylor and “scientific management,” corporate
culture and the pitfalls of bureaucracy. As we see in the video’s look at
the Outward Bound program, every organization has it own unique
culture that is linked to the values and norms of the wider society. 30
minutes, 2005. INTELECOM/Prentice Hall: www.intelecom.org.
American Nightmare: In studies of homelessness in America the
voices of the homeless themselves are often ignored. Not in this movie.
In American Nightmare, a senior capstone project, a dozen homeless
people and two community activists speak their minds. They describe
the failure (or absence) of many governmental programs that are
supposed to help solve the problem of homelessness as well as
inadequate employment opportunities and overpopulated shelters. From
30
the woods and bridge underpasses of Columbus, to the alleys and
shelters of Cincinnati this powerful film illuminates the struggles that
homeless people in Ohio face on a daily basis. 120 minutes, 2005.

BRATS: Our Journey Home: This film features a hidden American
subculture - a lost tribe of over 4 million adult children from widely
diverse backgrounds, raised on military bases around the world, whose
shared experiences have shaped their lives so powerfully, they are
forever different from their fellow Americans. This film chronicles
American military children during primarily the Cold War, using
interviews, testimonials, archived footage, and clips from popular films
such as The Great Santini. The film highlights elements of a military
occupation’s lifestyle and culture such as the risk of death and injury,
frequent separations, geographic mobility, foreign residence, normative
constraints, shiftwork and long working hours, a masculine-dominated
culture, and early retirement to civilian life--all of which have
implications for the children coming of age in this social structural
context. 90 minutes, 2005. Directed by Donna Musil. Brats Without
Borders, Inc.: www.bratsourjourneyhome.com.
Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan: This film documents the ancient
custom of bride kidnapping, an ancient marriage tradition in
Kyrgyzstan. Bride Kidnapping documents in harrowing detail four such
abductions, from the violent seizures on city streets and the tearful
protests of the women, who are physically restrained and persuaded to
accept their fate by the women of the groom’s family, to the often tense
negotiations between the respective families, and either the eventual
acquiescence or continued refusal of the young women. Although bride
kidnapping has been illegal in Kyrgyzstan since 1994, it is a law that is
rarely enforced, and one in three rural ethnic Kyrgyz women have been
forced into such marriages. This film is an illuminating look at an
ancient social custom, and at the same time raises provocative
questions about the nature of love and marriage. 50 minutes, 2004.
Directed by Petr Lom. First Run/Icarus Films: www.frif.com.
Detroit: Ruin of a City: Detroit, known as Motor City, home of the
Ford Motor Company, General Motors and other major car
manufacturers, is nowadays a city in serious decline, which has lost
more than half its population and much of its real estate. This film
looks back over the history of the city in the twentieth century: over the
rise and fall of the social system identified by social theorists as
“Fordism”; the way the city was shaped by the automobile; and its
decline. 92 minutes, 2005. Directed by Michael Chanan and George
Steinmetz. Bristol Docs: http://humanities.uwe.ac.uk/bristoldocs/.
Human Rights in China: The Search for Common Ground: This
documentary focuses on human rights in contemporary China,
beginning with an explanation of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. It offers a revealing in-depth exploration of practices in China,
such as Falun Gong, and the response of many in the West who believe
these practices are violations of Chinese citizen’s rights. 50 minutes,
2004. Directed by sociologist Raymond Olson. Sacred Mountain
Productions: www.sacred-mountain.com.
Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice: Though virtually forgotten today,
Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during
much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her
well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T.
Washington and W.E.B DuBois. This film documents the dramatic life
and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist,
activist, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the postReconstruction period. Author Toni Morrison reads selections from
Wells’ memoirs and other writings in this film. 53 minutes, 1989.
Directed by William Greaves. California Newsreel: www.newsreel.org.
Keeping it Real: This documentary examines why an increasing
number of people in Western countries are eagerly seeking “authentic,”
real-life experiences. One result has been the development of an
“experience economy,” in which companies offer “authentic”
experiences, a chance to witness or even participate in real-life
adventures. Keeping it Real examines this increasing demand for
“authenticity,” while at the same time trying to fathom the meaning of
the concept itself. 51 minutes, 2004. Directed by Sunny Bergman. First
Run/Icarus Films. www.frif.com.
Maid in America: They clean other people’s homes and raise other
families’ children—often leaving their own families behind. Maid in
America offers an intimate look into the lives of three Latina
immigrants working as nannies and housekeepers in Los Angeles, three
of the nearly 100,000 domestic workers living in that city today. These
women’s lives dramatically reveal how immigrants are redefining their
roles and underscores their vital role in many American households. A
rare view into what is becoming an increasingly common scenario, this
film offers insight both into the immigrant experience and
contemporary Latina culture. 57 minutes, 2004. Directed by Anayansi
Prado. Women Make Movies, www.wmm.com.
Neighborhood at the Crossroads: This film looks at community
change controlled and directed by residents in a low-income central
city neighborhood. This approach, known as incumbent upgrading, is a
clear alternative to gentrification in community renewal. The focus of
the film is on partnerships and collaborations, particularly communityuniversity collaborations, as primary tools for neighborhood
improvement. Through archival footage and recent interviews, the
documentary shows the power local residents can have in shaping the
future of their community. 53 minutes, 2005. Directed by Kim Hood
Jacobs, WFYI (PBS Indianapolis): [email protected]
On A Roll: Family, Disability & The American Dream: Greg Smith
and his family bare all in this unflinching portrait of a 65-pound man
striving for the American Dream. Fueled by discrimination, Smith
created "On A Roll Talk Radio on Life and Disabilities" from his
power wheelchair in 1992. The father of three travels the globe in a
new civil rights movement, but finds his own nation’s capital
inaccessible - a minor challenge compared to living independently and
having safe intimate relationships with facilitated sex. 54 minutes,
2005. Directed by Joanne Caputo. A presentation of the Independent
Television Service Broadcast on the PBS series Independent Lens:
www.onarolldocumentary.com.
Quick Brown Fox: This documentary is a gripping personal
investigation into the director, Ann Hedreen’s mother’s battle with
Alzheimer’s disease. This powerful and poetic film combines a moving
family journey with an insightful look at the science and politics of
Alzheimer’s—a disease that now affects more than 18 million people
worldwide. Hedreen’s uncompromising pursuit of possible causes and
potential cures takes her from the copper mines of her mother’s
childhood in Butte, Montana, to an Alzheimer’s research center in
Washington where she volunteers as a research subject. This timely
film bravely confronts the disease that has mangled the mind of her
once beautiful and brainy mom, and raises profound questions about
just how important our memories are. 63 minutes, 2003. Directed by

Ann Hedreen, and Rustin Thompson. Women Make Movies:

Red Hook Justice: In 2000, an experimental court opened its doors in
Red Hook, Brooklyn—a neighborhood plagued by a cycle of
unemployment, poverty and crime. The Red Hook court is at the center
of a legal revolution—the community justice movement. Instead of jail
time, offenders are sentenced to job training, drug counseling, and
community service. Red Hook Justice profiles the early years of this
bold new approach to stopping crime and healing a community. 55
minutes, 2004. Directed by Meema Spadola. Women Make Movies:

Red Road: Barry Hambly has spent all but four of his forty years
living in a white world. His native features are the only reminders of an
early childhood on a First Nation reserve in Saskatchewan before being
taken by child welfare workers in the late 1960s. This era, known as the
“Sixties Scoop”, saw thousands of aboriginal children adopted into
non-Native homes. Some children remained in Canada while others
were sent to the U.S. and around the globe. While some have called it
“assimilation”, many claim the “scoop” era to have been a cultural
genocide. After recently being called an “apple” –red on the outside,
white inside, Barry has packed his belongings to travel the “red road”
in search of his native soul. 47 minutes, 2004. Produced by Conrad
Beaubien and Dan Petrusich: www.novamulti.com.
Selling Sickness: Today, drug manufacturers aggressively market
diseases previously unknown to the public, or known by some other
name. Shyness thus becomes branded as “Social Anxiety Disorder,”
and premenstrual tension is now “Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.”
The sale of SSRI anti-depressant medications used to treat these and
other diseases, such as Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac, has become an annual
$20 billon market. Selling Sickness exposes this unhealthy relationship
between society, medical science, and the pharmaceutical industry. The
film features commentary from drug company consultants, patients,
researchers, patient advocates, advertisers, attorneys, and a psychiatrist,
critical of the industry. 52 minutes, 2004. Directed by Catherine Scott.

Where do you Stand: Stories from an American Mill: After a
quarter century of struggle, mill workers in Kannapolis, North Carolina
won the single largest industrial union victory in the history of the
South. For decades, these mill workers tended to submit more or less
willingly to sub-standard working conditions, paltry pensions and, at
times, outright harassment from company managers. For many of the
film’s main characters, the degradation experienced by their parents
and grandparents was an important catalyst – one that would eventually
prompt them to action. This documentary is a haunting new
documentary film about the rise and fall of an American town and the
epic struggle of the people who live there. In the process it tells the
story of dramatic changes in labor and demographics, in the nature of
corporations, the rise of multinationals, and changes in the American
South in the post-industrial age. 60 minutes, 2004. Directed by
Alexandra Lescaze. California Newsreel: www.newsreel.org.

Special Events
Welcoming Party
All meeting registrants are invited to the Welcoming
Party on Friday evening, August 12, that marks the
opening of the 100th Annual Meeting. This social hour
kicks off at 9:00 p.m., after the Opening Plenary, and
provides opportunities to renew past acquaintances, chat
with old friends, and find a newcomer to befriend while
enjoying a snack and a drink. New members and first-time
meeting attendees are particularly encouraged to come and
have fun!
Orientation for First-Time Attendees
If this is the first time you have attended an ASA
Annual Meeting, please plan to attend an orientation
session at 10:30-12:10 a.m. on Saturday, August 13, prior
to the mid-day Plenary on the first full day of program
sessions. This special orientation hour provides the
opportunity to meet Association officers and staff and
begin networking with professional colleagues. Advice
from ASA Officers and experienced attendees will help
you chart a course through the myriad activities and
substantive attractions.
ASA Secretary Franklin D. Wilson and Executive
Officer Sally T. Hillsman host this orientation at the
Philadelphia Loews Hotel in the Commonwealth B room.
Pointers on navigating the Annual Meeting will be shared
in informal roundtable discussion. First-time attendees
who pre-registered should look for a reminder ticket in
their badge envelopes as soon as they pick up their
program packets and come prepared to ask “What makes
it work?”
Reception for International Scholars
Scholars from countries outside the U.S. are invited to
meet U.S. sociologists interested in international
collaboration at a reception for international scholars on
Saturday, August 13, at 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Commonwealth
D at the Philadelphia Marriott. A highlight of this year’s
reception will be the opportunity to meet the contingent of
international scholars who have come north after attending
the ISA Council of National Associations meeting in
Miami, Florida, on August 9-11, 2005.
Departmental Alumni Night (DAN)
The Departmental Alumni Night (DAN), now in its
32nd year, is a social event held after the first full day of
sessions, where attendees can connect with friends,
colleagues, and foes to reminisce about graduate school
days, create new coalitions, and catch up on the latest
news.
This traditional gathering will begin at 9:30 p.m. on
Saturday, August 13, in Grand Salon E-F at the
Philadelphia Marriott, with conversation sets interspersed
by the blues offerings of “Lost Faculties”—the Penn State
Department of Sociology band, which includes Paul
Amato, Wayne Osgood, Rich Felson, Stacy, Rogers, Mark
Hill, and several others.
Each graduate department of sociology in the United
States and Canada was given the opportunity to sponsor a

hours as ASA Exhibits.
All attendees are welcome to browse through this area
filled with recent journal issues, timely books, teaching
resources and syllabi sets, career publications, sociological

Cartoon Caption Contest
Who says sociologists have no sense of humor? Help
prove them wrong by submitting the winning entry in the
Missing Cartoon Caption Contest. In The Sociologist’s
Book of Cartoons (available in the ASA Bookstore), the
caption for the cartoon on page 34 was inadvertently
omitted. ASA members and meeting attendees are invited
to suggest a new caption for this cartoon.
Entries for the Caption Contest will be accepted until
12:00 noon on Monday, August 15, 2005, in the ASA
Bookstore, located inside Franklin Hall at the Philadelphia
Marriott. Creative individuals may submit more than one
idea for the caption. Entries will be judged on humor,
originality, and sociological relevance by Troy Duster,
ASA President, and Caroline Persell, ASA Vice President.
The winning caption will be announced at the ASA
Business Meeting on Tuesday morning.
The winner will receive a framed and matted print of
the cartoon on the cover of The Sociologist’s Book of
Cartoons (specially commissioned by ASA), signed by the
cartoonist, Peter Steiner.

ASA Information
The ASA Exhibits are located in Franklin Hall, Level
Four, at the Philadelphia Marriott. Exhibits will be open to
meeting registrants on all four days of the meeting this
year!
ASA Exhibit Hours:

The location of the Exhibits offers excellent
accessibility to meeting attendees, due to its close
proximity to escalators leading to the lobby level and
other meeting room floor. Always one of the most popular
activities at the Annual Meeting, Exhibits offer variety,
convenience, and an opportunity to discover current trends
in sociological publishing, information processing, and
services.
Meeting attendees are encouraged to schedule several
visits to the Exhibit area so that ample time can be given
to exploring the many offerings. Browse through the latest
sociological publications, explore current computer
software, chat with representatives of statistical resources
and informational literature, and meet the editor of your
next publication!
See the Directory of Exhibitors elsewhere in this
Program for the names and booth numbers of all
exhibitors. Don't forget to look through the Program for
special ads too.

paid registrants for the Annual Meeting; badges are
required for entrance into this area.

Employment Service
The American Sociological Association assists
sociologists and prospective employers by sponsoring an
Employment Service during each year’s Annual Meeting.
This service augments the monthly Employment Bulletin,
now available in print and online as part of ASA’s home
page (www.asanet.org).
During the Annual Meeting in San Francisco last
year, 79 employers listed 114 positions, including 21
openings outside academia and 3 post-doctoral
opportunities. 351 candidates registered with the service,
and 1,540 screening interviews were scheduled.
Location and Hours. The 2005 Employment Service
is located in the Regency Ballroom at the Philadelphia
Loews. The service is open during the following hours.
Friday, August 12
1:30-5:30 p.m.
Saturday, August 13 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Sunday, August 14
8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Monday, August 15
8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Tuesday, August 16 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Fees. Individuals wanting to use this service, whether
as Candidate or Employer, must register first for the
Annual Meeting; please see “Registration Services” for
on-site registration rates. Once registered for the Annual
Meeting, fees for using the Employment Service are $150
for employers, $25 for candidates who are members of
ASA, and $50 for non-member candidates. All employer
listings must be prepaid; post-meeting billing is not
available.
When fully registered, you will be issued a pass
permitting your entrance to the Service any time it is open.
No one will be admitted without a pass; “browsing” by
non-registered attendees is not permitted.
Forms. Forms for listing positions (Employer Forms)
and applications for individuals (Candidate Profile Forms)
were printed in the May/June issue of Footnotes and the
May and June issues of the Employment Bulletin, and also
posted on the ASA website. Extra copies of these forms
are available in the Employment Service Registration
areas for those unable to preregister.
Facilities are available in the Grand Ballroom Foyer
at the Philadelphia Marriott for reviewing listings,
exchanging messages, and interviewing. Position listings
supplied by preregistered employers will be available for
viewing by candidates when the Service opens on Friday
afternoon, August 12. Listings supplied by employers who
register on-site will be posted as the listings are received
and processed.
On-site Processes. As soon as possible after arrival
in Philadelphia, preregistered service users should first
pick up their name badges and program packets at the
ASA Preregistration desk at the Philadelphia Marriott,
then go over to the Philadelphia Loews Hotel and report to
the Employment Service registration areas in the Regency
Ballroom on the second floor mezzanine. Facilities will be
available at the Philadelphia Loews Hotel for reviewing
position listings, exchanging messages, and interviewing.
Position listings supplied by preregistered employers will
be available for viewing by candidates when the Service
opens on Friday afternoon, August 12. Listings supplied
by employers who register on-site will be posted as
listings are received and processed.
Employers. Please check in with the Employment
Service to schedule interview appointments and receive
candidate forms for candidates who register on-site. All
initial interview appointments are to be scheduled
through the Employment Service.
Candidates. It is important that you check in with
the Employment Service after your arrival in Philadelphia
in order to activate your candidate profile, indicate your
availability for interviews, view position listings, and
deliver two copies, three-hole punched, of your full
resume/vita to the Service. These resumes will be used to
create two supplemental resume reference books for use
by registered employers during the meeting. It is
recommended that candidates bring 5-10 printed copies of
their full curriculum vitae with them for their use during
potential interviews.
For candidates unable to preregister, your first step
on-site in Philadelphia is to register for the Annual
Meeting, then proceed to the Employment Service to fill
out the necessary paperwork and start the required
processing.
Interview Scheduling. All initial interview
appointments are to be scheduled by employers
through the Employment Service at the meeting site.
Since employers need some time to review profiles, there
will be a lag time between on-site activation of a candidate
file and the scheduling of interviews. Because of this
processing/review time, those intending to make full use
of this service should check in with the Employment
Service no later than 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 13 to
activate their files/listings. No new candidate files will be
42
activated on the last day (Tuesday, August 16) of
Employment Service operations.
Child Care
ASA is continuing the tradition of providing an
innovative program of activities for children of Annual
Meeting registrants. Arrangements have again been made
with KiddieCorp to offer a full childcare program during
daytime session hours for preregistered children between
the ages of 6 months to 12 years.
KiddieCorp is dedicated to providing quality childcare
services across the nation for meeting attendees. Staffing
is based on a 1:2 ratio for children 6 months to 1 year, 1:3
ratios for children 1-2 years of age, and a 1:5 ratio for
children 3-12 years of age. The program includes a
customized hourly schedule of creative and educational
activities, age-appropriate toys and games, popular arts
and crafts projects, and child-pleasing movies and cartoon
videos.
The Child Care Service registration is located in Suite
362 at the Philadelphia Marriott. This service is available
to preregistrants only. The non-refundable preregistration
deposit of $50 per child will be applied to the daily usage
fees on-site. Daily use fees per preregistered child are $50
per full day, $30 per half day. For children using the
service for shorter periods, the half-day fee will apply to
encourage stable populations. Fees include on-site
activities and snacks; lunch is not included but meal
arrangements can be made through KiddieCorp.
Service hours are 8:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. on SaturdayMonday, August 13-15, and 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on
Tuesday, August 16. Parents/guardians using these
services must be registrants for the Annual Meeting.
There is no guarantee that non-preregistered families
can be accommodated on-site. Child care providers
reserve the right to refuse admittance to nonpreregistrants. IF there are any openings, fees for children
who were not preregistered will be $75 per day per child.
No half-day rates are available for non-preregistered
children.
Accessibility Resources and Services
The ASA offers several services and oversight
arrangements to facilitate attendance at the Annual
Meeting. The ASA Office will coordinate resources
during the meeting week for registrants with physical
disabilities who are attending the Annual Meeting. Special
services, which were arranged in advance, may be verified
with ASA staff to ensure that you receive the assistance
you need. Should you encounter any problems during the
meeting or need any additional information while at the
Annual Meeting, please contact Meeting Services staff in
the on-site ASA Office.
Comfort Zone. Attendees coping with illness, meeting
fatigue, or stress may use the small room set aside by ASA
as a “safe haven” to escape briefly from the noise and
bustle of meeting activities. The designated Comfort Zone
at the Philadelphia Marriott, is Room 405. At the
Philadelphia Loews, the Comfort Zone is in Parlor 2.
Sessions. ASA has made arrangements for sign
language interpreters, sighted guides, and other
communication avenues for meeting registrants who
provided information in advance of the meeting.
Housing. Attendees who requested accessible rooms or
other resources when making room reservations, and who
have not received the desired equipment or
accommodations, are asked to contact the ASA Office
immediately.
Travel. Attendees with mobility impairments who are
flying in and out of Philadelphia International Airport
(PHL) are advised to notify their airline 24 hours before
departure if they will need assistance in getting from their
arrival gate to the baggage claim area. Airline and airport
personnel will gladly assist any meeting attendee needing
transportation aid. Travelers who need ground
transportation in wheelchair accessible vehicles from PHL
should make arrangements in advance of their arrival at
the Airport. The Airport’s website, www.phl.org, has a list
of these providers. Additional information is available by
calling the PHL Ground Transportation hotline at 215937-6958.
In the City. People with disabilities who are planning
to visit Philadelphia can obtain information relating to
accessibility in the city by visiting the website
www.phila.gov/aco.
Other Services. Registrants who did not make
advance arrangements for services or equipment are
requested to contact staff in the ASA Office in Room 502
at the Philadelphia Marriott. Every reasonable effort will
be made to assist registrants on-site. However, if you have
a physical disability and need special services, equipment,
or accommodations, and did not notify ASA in advance of
your arrival at the meeting site, ASA may not be able to
provide appropriate services due to the limited availability
of some equipment and services.

Philly Delights
Center City and the Reading Market
The following is an excerpt from an article by Magali Sarfatti
Larson, Temple University, which was published in ASA Footnotes as
part of a series highlighting the centennial Annual Meeting in
Philadelphia. The complete article is posted at
http://www.asanet.org/footnotes/mayjun05/indextwo.html.
Walk two blocks west toward City Hall, at the
intersection of Market and Broad Streets. It is worth
visiting the Council chambers and the observation deck,
which are free. One block north on Broad, at the corner of
Cherry Street, you can admire the renovation of the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Frank Furness’s
eclectic masterpiece, but you should also find some time
for the great collection of American art (its most famous
painting may well be Peaceable Kingdom, by Edward
Hicks, but my favorite is Horace Pippin’s Hanging of
John Brown).
South and east of City Hall, Lord and Taylor’s
clothing store occupies the building of the celebrated John
Wanamaker department store by Daniel Burnham; you
can take the kids to hear the world’s largest pipe organ
playing at noon and at 5 pm.
Three blocks south on Broad Street, on your right, you
will see the historic Union Club, and continue past the old
Academy of Music, the very modern Wilma theater by
Hardy, Holzmann, Pfeiffer, on your left, and the Merriam
on your right, toward the brand new, rather flashy, but
acoustically perfect Kimmel Center for the Performing
Arts, home of the Philadelphia Orchestra, by the
fashionable architect Rafael Viñoly. Tours are free every
day except Monday, at 1 pm.
If you cross Broad going east, retracing your steps to
Locust Street, you will find the Library Company of
Philadelphia, at number 1314, the first subscription
library in the United States, founded in 1731 by Ben
Franklin, of course.
From there, turn left on 12th Street, cross Market,
walk one block, cross Filbert; you are about to enter one
of our most cherished living monuments, the Reading
Terminal Market. Walk around, taste, drink, enjoy!
From Wednesday to Saturday, you can buy pretzels and
shoofly pie from Amish and Mennonite farmers. The
market is open every day except Sunday, and you can also
find jewelry, somewhat unusual clothes, organic soaps,
and any kitchen tool you may ever have wanted at Foster’s
Gourmet Cookware. Citizens managed to save this
beloved shopping and eating place from destruction by the
Convention Center, and you will be grateful, as we are.
Chinatown surrounds the Reading Terminal, north to
Spring Garden and east to about 8th Street. It is open for
dinner and enriched by a variety of Asian restaurants. You
find classic stores and markets, but check also Lily Song’s
New China Bookstore at 1010 Race Street for music and
videos as well as books, and her brand new Shanghai
Bazaar at 1016 Race.
On Market Street, the Gallery, at 10th Street, is linked
underground by an enormous food court to Market Place,
eastward, all the way to 7th. Chain stores like K-Mart and
a sometimes better variety of clothing and shoe stores,
perfumes, and candies proliferate. The anchor store strives
to maintain the elegance of the old Strawbridge and
Clothier. You can walk with air conditioning to 7th Street
and visit the exceptional African American Museum at
7th and Arch Streets before getting to Independence Hall:
you will find there over a million photographs of African
American life in Philadelphia, as well as records of the
slave trade and all aspects of enslaved and free Black life
in America, including the epochal struggle for liberation.
The Atwater Kent Museum is immediately south of
Market, at 15 South 7th, and it contains one of the most
extensive collections of Americana in the country,
including Norman Rockwell paintings. Across the street,
the Balch Institute of Ethnic Studies still houses
artifacts, collections and a very important library, even
though it has merged with the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania.
If you do not feel like walking around the city, the
blue bus called “PHLASH” stops at 12th and Market
Streets in front of the Marriott and at most tourist sites, all
the way to the Art Museum. It costs $4 for all day, $10 for
a family, or $1 each time you board (for more details, see
www.gophila.com/phlash).

will present panels, workshops, breakout discussion groups, and small
group mentoring for approximately 25 participants. Participants will select
from workshop and discussion topics including how successful teachers
teach, process of creating courses, dealing with controversial issues in the
classroom, managing classroom dynamics, learning styles/multiple
intelligences, assessment in teaching, evaluating teaching performance,
writing and presenting on teaching and learning, getting a job, and tips for
successful teaching from award winning teachers. This pre-conference
course will be supplemented by ASA sessions on teaching during the
Annual Meeting. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve
basis; fees cover course materials and refreshments. For further information about course content, contact Jeanne Ballantine

2. Course. Key Developments in Sociology of Gender
9:00am-4:00pm
Organizer: Judith A. Howard, University of Washington
Panelists: Judith A. Howard, University of Washington
Alesha Durfee, University of Washington
Karen Rosenberg, University of Washington
Julie Brines, University of Washington
This course will assess recent developments and emphases in the
sociology of gender, moving also to speculations about major priorities for
the future. Among these emphases are the growth of both transnational
and global analyses of gender; the relationship between transnational
analyses of gender and U.S.-based diversity studies of gender; the role of
activism and civic engagement in the sociology of gender; and the
connections between disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarships of
gender. The course facilitators will use a variety of pedagogical techniques, illustrating by example ways of teaching sociologies of gender.
3. Course. Sociological Work on Global Warming and
Climate Change
9:00am - 4:00pm
Organizer: Penelope Canan, University of Denver
Regions, Carbon, Culture, Cities, Climate, Change and
Consequences. Penelope Canan, University of Denver
Urban and Regional Typologies Relevant to Global Warming
and the Carbon Cycle. Melanie Hartman, Global Carbon
Project

Stephan Scholz, Global Carbon Project/University of
Arizona
Intentional Social Change and the U.S. Environmental Movement: Implications for Addressing Global Carbon Use.
Robert Brulle, Drexel University
Human practices since the Industrial Revolution have had such a
large impact on the planet that the Earth has moved well outside the range
of the natural variability exhibited over the more than half million years.
Already we are dealing with the impacts of just a one-degree rise in the
global temperature and associated extreme weather events. Predictions for
increasing global warming over the next few decades vary, but each
scenario is alarming. Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use
(industrialization, transportation, urbanization) and the loss of carbon
sinks (deforestation) are major culprits. What do we as sociologist have to
say about theoretical directions for social change to alter the patterns of a
global carbon culture? We will produce a collection of examples of
sociological work relevant to global warming, the carbon cycle, and
climate change. Participants will be asked to prepare a brief oral overview
of an assigned selection. We anticipate that selections will include
contributions covering environment and... demographic change, energy
consumption patterns, equity, impact analysis, carbon culture, land use
changes (deforestation), urbanization, and globalization.
4. Course. Multicultural Infusion into Introductory Sociology Curriculum
10:00am - 4:00pm
Organizer and Leader: Susan J. St. John, Corning Community

Friday, August 12
College, State University of New York
Carol A. Jenkins, Glendale Community College
Lynn Weber, University of South Carolina
Designed to provide instructors with strategies and resources to
develop multicultural teaching modules for basic sociological concepts.
Multicultural infusion is a modification of curriculum designed to
heighten awareness of cultural differences without polarizing students.
We will explain how multicultural infusion differs from simply presenting
singular race/ethnic, class, or gender lessons. Distinguished faculty will
help participants move from selectively “highlighting” minority issues
toward lectures and activities that bring multiple perspectives into a single
lesson. Faculty will discover how to adapt sociological concepts they
already teach, such as, socialization or social stratification, to encompass
diverse perspectives. This approach connects faculty to a wider range of
students and students, especially minorities, see themselves in the
curriculum they are presented. In addition, multicultural infusion
enhances critical thinking, draws from local history and experiences
relevant to various student populations, and provides historically more
accurate description of social phenomena. There will be time for “handon” curriculum development and sharing of ideas with workshop
presenters and participants.

(Foundation for Humanitarian Aid to Victims of
Social and Natural Disaster)
The tsunami that struck suddenly and devastated the
regions directly affected captured headlines and saturated media
coverage for several weeks, in large measure because of the
immediate vast toll on human life. While the long-term social and
political effects of the tsunami will not receive much media
attention, social scientists working in the area have much to tell us
about how to better understand profound social adjustments and
impacts that otherwise go unreported. This session brings together
some of the leading experts on the topic to bring a sociological
perspective to such matters as rebuilding infrastructure, material
and non-material.

Reconceptualizing Knowledge Accumulation Beyond Sociology: A Cross-disciplinary Analysis of Knowledge Accumulation. Karin D. Knorr Cetina, University of Konstanz,
Germany
Discussant: Saskia Sassen, University of Chicago
Physical and natural sciences and social sciences have developed
their own intellectual boundaries - by utilizing specific methods, relying
on certain forms of evidence, having specialized journals, and addressing
particular issue areas. Increasingly, however, research in both hard
sciences and social sciences has become more interdisciplinary, integrating
varieties of methods, constructs, and forms of evidence. This trend has
been reinforced by institutional training grants that encourage collaboration across disciplines, as well as research funding agenda. All this poses
challenges to existing intellectual boundaries. Our proposed session will
examine how social scientists, with a particular focus on sociologists, are
defining the intellectual boundaries of their discipline. We will pay
attention to what paradigms are being privileged; what constructs are
being used to define disciplinary fields; how researchers are conducting
their work (processes of peer review, standards of publication, choice of
methods); what constitutes evidence; and what the implications are for
causal inference. These ideas are examined in order to investigate how the
intellectual boundaries of sociology are being modified as a response to
the increased focus on interdisciplinary work. Papers in this session will
focus on the following questions: Do knowledge and research practices
cut across fields or remain confined within intellectual boundaries? How
does sociology compare to other disciplines with respect to the organization of knowledge and the protection of intellectual boundaries? And
finally, relying on recent work of National Research Council and the
National Science Foundation, what kinds of knowledge and research
practices are being privileged, and what are the implications for knowledge accumulation?

response to stigma. This session focuses on the unique history, perspective
and contributions that these two disciplines have brought and continue to
bring to the study of the stigma of mental illness given the current
priorities directed at changing the level and consequences of prejudice and
discrimination toward adults with serious mental illness and children with
serious emotional disorders. Panel members will also discuss future
theoretical and intervention directions.
14. Special Session. How the Labor Movement and Sociology Shape Each Other
Organizer and Presider: Dan Clawson, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Panelists: Ruth Milkman, University of California, Los Angeles
Marshall Ganz, Harvard University
Carolina Bank Munoz, Brooklyn College, City University of
New York
Discussant: Henry Nicholas, District 1199C
The rise and decline in the influence of sociology is shaped by its
connection to larger social movements, and those movements’ ability to
influence the larger world. In turn, labor and other movements are shaped
by the results of sociological research, and sociologists’ ability (or
inability) to influence the public.

Leaders: Meredith M. Redlin, South Dakota State University
Laura M. Hecht, California State University, Bakersfield
Cornelia B. Flora, Iowa State University
This workshop will encompass a three-step introduction to models
and levels of distance learning integration in sociology. First, a model will
be presented of two forms of web-based and distance projects for
traditional classroom models. These exercises are developed for lowerlevel and introductory sociology courses and encompass active research
assignments and inter-campus shared exercises. Student outcomes are
included. Second, a model of a fully web-based course design will be
demonstrated, including teaching modules, exercises, and readings. This
model is developed for an upper level undergraduate sociology course,
and student outcomes are included. Third, a model for development of an
on-line multi-university and multi-disciplinary Masters program will be
presented. Here, presenters will address the possibilities of multiuniversity participation in virtual course offerings at the graduate level to
expand opportunities for students in the region.

include: (1) Documenting one’s work and the review process-important
information one should know about the review process and one’s rights,
the politics of reappointment and tenure review process, and helpful tips
on preparing the dossier; (2) Managing one’s workload to maximize one’s
productivity and effectiveness-tips on know how to prioritize one’s work
and manage one’s time effectively; and (3) Avoiding common pitfalls-tips
on understanding politics in academia, adjusting to the new role and life,
learning to reflect and seek help, and taking care of oneself. Panelists will
share their personal experiences and participants are welcome to bring
questions.

20. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Latina/o Studies (cosponsored by the Section on Latino/a Sociology)
Organizer: Hector L. Delgado, University of La Verne
Leaders: Hector L. Delgado, University of La Verne
Rogelio Saenz, Texas A&M University
We invite veterans and neophytes to share old and new pedagogical ideas in the area of Latina/o Studies. This area of study and instruction
is a broad one and the approaches to teaching courses on the subject are
virtually limiltless. Some courses compare each of these groups to one
another, while other courses focus on a group (e.g. Chicanas/os or
Mexican-Americans). Some courses examine a wide range of topics,
while others focus on one topic or a handful of topics (e.g. Gender and
Sexuality). Some professors prefer more traditional pedagogical models,
while others prefer non-traditional approaches, such as student-centered
teaching and participatory action research with an emphasis on social
activism ans social change. One model does not fit all. In the end, each
instructor must decide what works best for her/him. This workshop
hopesto make the taskeasierby providing participants with a shopping list
of approaches, including bibliographies of readings used by colleagues in
Latina/o Studies courses and exercises, assignments, instructional
techniques, and resources designed to engage students intellectually and
to instill in them an appreciation of and respect for Latinas/os in the
United States and their shared and varied histories, experiences, and
traditions.

Economists, not sociologists, are far more likely to represent social
scientists in the public policy arena. But sociologists can, and should
contribute to current day public policy debates. The papers in this session
demonstrate the varied and important ways that sociologists can contribute, from welfare and public pension reforms, to the effects of globalization. Further, this panel explores more broadly what the role intellectuals
should have in the public domain and policymaking process.

Changes in American family life pose a paradox. Some
dimensions of family change are positioned on the cutting edge of
international developments, while others are lagging behind other
post-industrial nations. The panel will consider U.S. family trends and
policies in cross-national perspective, with a focus on how this
paradox leaves contemporary American families facing new contradictions and cross-pressures.

54. Teaching Workshop. Community-Based Research: A
Workshop on Teaching to Diversify Voices
Organizer: John Jason Green, Delta State University
Co-Leaders: John Jason Green, Delta State University
Anna M. Kleiner, Southeastern Louisiana University
Community-based research involves professional researchers,
students, organizers, service providers and residents working together to
answer questions crucial for improving quality of life. The goal is to help
diversify and amplify voices in the construction, acquisition and application of knowledge. It brings together approaches that are “participatory”
and “action” oriented, all sharing several common themes, including
meaningful participation, collaboration and pursuit of social change. The
64
Participants are invited to bring syllabi, course projects, course
activities, bibliographies, and other course materials. It is recommended
that the ASA Teaching Resources manual on teaching the sociology of
dying and death be brought to the workshop. In my nearly forty years of
work in this field, I have learned a great deal of information, approaches,
and insights that I will share with participants. Participants will receive
handouts, web sites with great information, share knowledge, and great
ideas for teaching what I consider to be the best, most interesting, most
student-involve course that I teach

Thomas Frank, author, What’s the Matter with
Kansas
The last election produced a situation where both houses of
Congress, the Presidency, and increasingly the federal judiciary will
be guided by a sharply rightward shift in politics, probably more so
than at any time in the last eight decades. A historian, two legal
scholars, and a social analyst of “middle America” come together
on this panel to discuss different aspects of “the stakes” in play.

The Task Force on Institutionalizing Public Sociology wants to
hear from you! On Saturday, August 13, from 2:30pm-4:10pm at the
Philadelphia Marriott, join in the Open Forum. Hear about the work the
Task Force has done and comment on ways you think public sociology
can and should (or not) be institutionalized in ASA and in departments.
For example, the Task Force has gathered examples of public sociology to
show the scope and variety of this work. They have drafted guidelines for
promotion and tenure, to include and evaluate public sociology. Check the
ASA website in late July for drafts of their work. Come with your
comments to help the Task Force make important, useful, and practical
recommendations to ASA Council.
Task Force Members are: Susan H. Ambler, Maryville College;

94. Methodological Seminar. Ensemble Statistical Methods
for Data Mining in the Social Sciences
Leader: Richard A. Berk, University of California, Los Angeles
This workshop will focus is on “ensemble methods,” which are an
especially promising special case of algorithmic methods. The term
“ensemble predictors” is commonly reserved for bundled fits produced by
a stochastic algorithm, the output of which is some combination of a large
number of passes through the data. Bagging and random forests are two
powerful illustrations Although ensemble methods are seeing increasing
use in the natural sciences, they are virtually untried in the behavioral,
social and economic sciences. In this workshop, there will be an overview
of algorithmic methods, a more in depth consideration of ensemble
approaches and illustrations of several kinds of applications. The
applications will be five broad kinds: 1) description of the relationships
between a set of predictors and a response, 2) classification problems, 3)
forecasting, 4) improved covariance adjustments, and 5) regression
diagnostics. All will involve social science data. There will be handouts,
internet links for more detailed treatments, and access to free software.
75
Participants in the workshop should have a good working knowledge of at
least the generalized linear model (e.g., linear regression, logistic
regression). Familiarity with the bootstrap and classification and regression trees would be helpful.
95. Academic Workshop. Opportunities and Obstacles to
Faculty Professional Development at Community
Colleges
Organizer and Leader: Philip C. Dolce, Bergen Community
College
Panelists: David L. Levinson, Norwalk Community College
Carla B. Howery, American Sociological Association
Community Colleges were founded on the Wisconsin Idea that the
total community becomes the campus for each of these educational
institutions. Professional development opportunities for faculty are
essential in fulfilling this mandate. Given this wide-ranging mission and
the interdisciplinary structure of many academic departments at community colleges, it is essential that faculty be afforded opportunities for
professional development so that they can excel as teachers, community
leaders and professionals in their field of expertise. The lack of these
opportunities would not only curtail the mission of community colleges
but liken them to academic monasteries. The workshop will explore the
examples of and obstacles to professional development opportunities. This
workshop also will focus on the responsibilities faculty, faculty associations, administrators, and professional organizations have in advocating
and fostering these opportunities.
96. Career Workshop. Portfolio Preparation (co-sponsored
by Sociologist for Women in Society)
Organizers and Leaders: Idee Winfield, College of Charleston
Catherine Zimmer, University of North Carolina, Chapel

97. Professional Workshop. Ensuring a Successful, First
Solo Teaching Experience as a Graduate Student
Organizer: Shannon N. Davis, Carolina Population Center
Panelists: Shannon N. Davis, Carolina Population Center
Cristina Morales, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Edan L. Jorgensen, University of Nebraska, Lincoln
Robert Vann (R.V.) Rikard, North Carolina State University
Entering the classroom for the first time as the instructor rather
than the student can be somewhat daunting for even the most confident of
people. The panelists will discuss their first teaching experience, including
preparation for the first course and lessons learned during the semester.
This workshop is designed to explore the variety of ways in which
instructors prepare to enter the classroom, all while completing their own
graduate education. We will also offer examples of best practices and
survival strategies, as well as an opportunity for discussion.

98. Research Workshop. Using the Integrated Public Use
Microdata Series in Research (IPUMS)
Organizer: Matthew Sobek, University of Minnesota
Co-Leaders: Trent Alexander, University of Minnesota
Matthew Sobek, University of Minnesota
Panelists will provide an overview and introduction to using the
Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples Series database (IPUMS). The
IPUMS is the world’s largest collection of publicly available, individuallevel census microdata, and researchers can access the data at no cost. The
IPUMS-USA data files include 150 years of harmonized U.S. Census
data. There are also parallel web sites providing integrated international
census data (IPUMS-International) and integrated data from the March
Current Population Survey (IPUMS-CPS). The session will highlight the
U.S. census data, but questions on all of the different series are welcome.
In addition to demonstrating the interface, panelists will discuss the
strengths and limitations of both the U.S. and international census data
series. Topics will include newly available samples, common user
problems and questions, and plans for future improvements. Handouts
will be provided, and discussion from new and established IPUMS data
users is invited.
99. Teaching Workshop. Constructing Cross-Cultural
Gender Studies Courses
Organizer and Leader: Catherine G. Valentine, Nazareth
College
This interactive workshop will address materials and methods for
teaching gender studies courses that move beyond the borders of the
contemporary U.S. to examine the social construction of gender across
cultures. Goals for the workshop include: (1) discussion of the value and
challenges of incorporating cross-cultural materials in gender studies
courses, (2) overview of available texts and films, (3) discussion of
exercises and assignments that engage students in comparative crosscultural analysis, (4) organization of a cross-cultural gender studies
course.
100. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Courses Collaboratively
and Electronically with Colleagues in other Countries
Organizer: Judith R. Blau, University of North Carolina
Co-Leaders: Judith R. Blau, University of North Carolina
Vincent N. Parrillo, William Paterson University
International teaching collaboration is a great challenge but a
rewarding one. This session will include presentations about simultaneous
and/or cooperative teaching at multiple worldwide sites. In this “sociologists without borders” approach, Professors Blau and Parrillo will describe
their experiences, rewards and setbacks in working with NGOs and
African, European, and Latin American colleagues. They will also lead a
discussion on how to face the challenges of differences in culture,
language, and perspective in engaging the students to provide an exciting,
productive learning experience.
101. Teaching Workshop. Teaching about Controversial
Subjects
Organizer: Jennifer Keys, North Central College
Co-Leaders: Tamara L. Smith, University at Albany, State
Heather Sullivan-Catlin, State University of New York,
Potsdam
Jennifer Keys, North Central College
In this workshop, we will grapple with issues that arise when
contentious subject matter is brought into the classroom. We will share
some of the lessons we have learned from teaching about affirmative
action, abortion, gay marriage, the animal rights movement, bilingual
education, raising the minimum wage, euthanasia, and the death penalty.
In Part I, we will raise pedagogical questions: What are the pros and cons
of revealing our own positions? Are there some positions (i.e. racist,
homophobic) that we should refuse to acknowledge as legitimate? Is it
appropriate to ask students to consider opposing viewpoints that violate
their religious beliefs? In Part II, we will present different strategies for
setting classroom conduct guidelines, deescalating angry confrontations,
and attending to students who feel uncomfortable or emotionally sensitive
about a topic. We will also assess the potentials and pitfalls of various
techniques, including the use of debates, writing one-minute reflections,
and anonymous opinion polling. We hope that you will join us for what is
sure to be a lively conversation.

ways in which informalization influences the conduct of business whether
as social capital, as new forms of class struggle or its general integration
into the practice of everyday living. In general, they argue informalization
may be considered as sets of strategies or simply as a way of living, which
provides certain economic, cultural and social leverage for a ‘profitable’
inter-relation with any level of that deemed formal.

126. Thematic Session. Thinking
Differently about What It Means to
Be “American”
Organizers: David Wellman, University of California,
Santa Cruz; Ronald A. Lembo, Amherst College
Presider: Ronald A. Lembo, Amherst College
Panelists: Jon D. Cruz, University of California
Rhacel Salazar Parrenas, University of California,
Davis
Herman S. Gray, University of California, Santa Cruz
How have conventional sociological understandings of
culture over the past century contributed to the construction of what
it means to be American and not-American? On the one hand, there
are those who propose a unifying conception of culture, focusing on
what was and is held in common, what could be held in common, or
what was and is potentially unifying. On the other hand, there are
those who leave open the issue of any resolution of the idea of
cultural difference in relation to what it meant to be American. What
difference does difference make in the sociological meaning of being
an “American”?

institutions and those who have already dedicated a significant portion of
their careers at such institutions. Topic coverage includes 1) approaches to
successful research agendas, 2) striving for teaching excellence when
teaching is THE number one priority of the institution, 3) dynamics of
faculty-student relationships, and 4) guarding against faculty burn-out.

Add Health is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative
sample of more than 20,000 adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United
States in 1994-95 who have been followed through adolescence and the
transition to adulthood with three in-home interviews. In this workshop
Add Health researchers will discuss the availability of new educational
data from high school transcripts and unique opportunities for research.
Presenters will describe the types of educational data available, the kinds
of research questions that can be addressed with the educational data
linked to the longitudinal Add Health data, and present early findings on
the relationships between friendship networks, high school academic
curriculum and achievement, and health. Information on how to obtain
Add Health data and new directions for the future of Add Health will also
be presented.

Robert Alan Hanneman, University of California, Riverside
Researchers are increasingly using computer simulation to explore
and refine dynamic models of social processes. Instructors may similarly
elucidate social theory by inviting students to observe and manipulate
‘artificial worlds’ that operate according to the theory. Workshop
participants will discuss tools and strategies for training students to think
rigorously about social dynamics through computational modeling
139. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Gender and Work:
Observations from the Last Twenty Years (co-sponsored by the ASA Section on Sex and Gender)
Organizer: Sarah Fenstermaker, University of California, Santa
Barbara
Leaders: Sarah Fenstermaker, University of California, Santa
Barbara
Denise A. Segura, University of California, Santa Barbara
In this workshop presenters Fernstermaker and Segura will share
their the experience they have had for the last two decades teaching an
upper division undergraduate lecture class, entitled “Women and Work.”
First tauguht by Fernstermaker in 1976, the course has moved from the
periphery to the center of the UC Santa Barbara undergraduate curriculum, and serves as one popular mainstay of UCSB’s offerings in feminist
sociology. Indeed, on could argue that over time the course has reflected
the remarkable changes in the teaching of gender in the last twenty years.
The presenters will address the following issues: How “Women and
Work” teaches gender inequality Changes overtime in the range of
readings and scope of how women and work is conceptualized Preparation of students for practical feminist analysis of women and work Race,
class, gender and sexuality of focal points of analysis Contrasting and
comparable aspects of course from the two presenters “Best practices” in
87
student writing about gender and work Teaching the course outside the
U.S.: changing approaches and perspectives Incorporating digitized
cultural depictions into lectures Ample time will be given to group
discussion of issues and problems in the teaching of gender, “going”
global and blending the practical and theoretical in feminist sociology
courses.

Panelists: Keri E. Iyall Smith, Stonehill College
Alberto Moncada, Sociologists without Borders
Havidan Rodriguez, University of Delaware
Alan Sica, Pennsylvania State University
Liberal social science presumes a singular perspective, but
globalization challenges that presumption and requires we
consider plural perspectives. What implications do borders and
pluralism have for a more inclusive but particularlizing social
science? For epistemological assumptions? For ethics? For our
inquiries? What universals do we want to defend?

173. Career Workshop. Career Opportunities for Sociologists in State Government
Organizer and Leader: Paul T. Melevin, State of California
Employment Development Department
Panelists: Annemarie Scarisbrick-Hauser, KeyCorp
Bill Hauser, University of Akron
This workshop will inform participants of the career opportunities
available to sociologists in state government. Initially, the workshop will
focus on employment opportunities. Mandates from the federal government coupled with shrinking budgets have created an increasing need for
state governments to employ professionals who have the skills to conduct
a variety of social and behavioral science research (i.e., social surveys,
focus groups, experiments, or evaluation research). Dr. Paul Melevin of
the State of California’s Employment Development Department will help
workshop participants identify employment opportunities for sociologists.
In addition to providing a list of available opportunities, he will show
participants how to access the websites where specific positions are
posted. In doing so, he will provide practical advice on how to search for
available positions, how to complete applications for employment, what to
expect when called to a job interview, as well as provide specific advice on
what they should expect after being interviewed. Career opportunities in
state government (as well as those in federal and local government) are
not limited to full or part-time employment.
Often, many contract opportunities exist for sociologists in private
consulting or for academic sociologists seeking funding opportunities to
conduct research. Dr. Annemarie Scarisbrick-Hauser of KeyCorp and Dr.
William Hauser of the University of Akron’s Marketing Department have
extensive experience in seeking and obtaining contracts for research. They
will share their experiences. In doing so, they will identify the various
funding opportunities available to sociologists and they will instruct
participants on how to identify these opportunities as well as provide
information on how to seek out these opportunities and advise them of the
skills needed to secure the funding. Initially, the workshop will focus on
providing participants with general information, after which there will be
time for attendees to interact and participate in a question and answer
session.

Organizer: Jan Marie Fritz, University of Cincinnati
Leaders: Jan Marie Fritz, University of Cincinnati
Ann Marie Ellis, Texas State University
The presenters will provide an overview of the field of clinical
sociology with an emphasis on international developments (e.g. in Japan,
Malaysia, Italy and the International Association of French-Speaking
Sociologist). Participants will identify and discuss critical skills for clinical
sociologists including strategies for identifying funding sources for
interventions. We will examine models for effective clinical sociology
programs and look at the format of two programs in Italy.
178. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Research Methods and
Making It Exciting
Organizer: Kerry J. Strand, Hood College
Leaders: Kerry J. Strand, Hood College
Gregory L. Weiss, Roanoke College
Sociology students typically view the required Research Methods
course as the most rigorous-and frequently, the most dry and boring-in the
sociology curriculum. For that and other reasons, it can be a real challenge
to teach. How can we help students appreciate the contributions of
research to sociological understanding as we also see to it that they gain
some familiarity with the wide range of methodological approaches and
techniques? How can we help students become critical consumers of
social research as we also empower them as potential producers and
discoverers of knowledge about the social world? And, perhaps most
difficult, how can we best convey to them some of our own appreciation
for and excitement about doing social research? In this workshop, we will
detail some of the distinctive challenges in teaching research methods and
then will share many tried and true exercises, assignments, resources, and
teaching strategies drawn from our combined decades of teaching
undergraduate research methods.
179. Teaching Workshop. Teaching the Sociology of Mental
Health: Integrating Personal Memoirs (co-sponsored
by the ASA Section on Medical Sociology)
Panelists: Jane D. McLeod, Indiana University
Phil Brown, Brown University
William W. Eaton, Johns Hopkins University
This workshop focuses on the use of personal memoirs in courses
on the sociology of mental health. Panel members will discuss: (1) the
challenges of teaching courses in this area (e.g., the diversity of the
audience, personal expectations that students bring to the course); (2) the
contributions of personal memoirs to addressing those challenges; (3) and
alternative strategies for integrating personal memoirs into course
discussions and exercises. Workshop participants are encourage to share
their own classroom experiences; the will receive an annotated list of
personal memoirs and examples of related course exercises.

hierarchy, while a third studies the role of place in situating a racial/ethnic

Leader: Trond Petersen, University of California, Berkeley
This seminar gives an introduction to methods for analyzing event
history data, often known as duration, failure time, waiting time, survival,
or hazard rate analysis. Event history data typically contain information
about the date a sample member (e.g., person, organization, nation)
entered a social state, for example an employment state, the date the state
was subsequently left or the date the person was last observed in the state,
105
and if the state was left, the value of the next state entered, and so on. The
goal of the analysis is to estimate how fast or slow groups of people move
between states and which factors influence the rate of movement.

Everybody an Exception? Cultural Styles, Universities, and

Neil J. Smelser, University of California, Berkeley
Aim of the session is describing, interpreting and analysing
some of the major similarities and differences, convergences and
divergences of the United States and the European Union taken as
whole societies, in the hope of fostering systematic comparative
studies which would fill a void in to-day social science literature. In
fact, there are studies comparing the US with one or more European
countries, but there is no comparative study of the US and the EU
USA taken as whole societies (Gestalten). This comparison has
important theoretical and political implications too for the analysis of
Trans-atlantic relations and the respective roles of the US and of a
United Europe in global governance. The main questions asked to the
panelists are: on the one hand, whether the structural arrangements,
cultural values and individual behaviours and attitudes of the
European societies and peoples have become more similar in recent
years, which convergent trends of the EU member states are
becoming more similar ‘spontaneously’ and which are the outcome of
the conscious efforts of European policies, and whether a European
model of society is emerging, which is comparable for its importance
to the American model of society; and, on the other, whether
American exceptionalism is undergoing basic changes because of the
changing demographic mix, socio-economic transformations of the
US, and the ndew response to global terrorism. These questions are
problematic and even controversial and are at the center not only of
scholarly debate but of public discourse. They will be articulated in
the introductiion and discussed by the panelists with reference to
specific aspects of the American and European societies.

In 2004, six of the major social science data repositories in the
United States joined together in a partnership with the Library of
Congress to work on ensuring the long-term preservation of their holdings
and of materials that they have not yet collected. In this workshop the
leaders of that project will describe the services that they now offer, and
discuss among themselves and with the audience the need to locate and
preserve classic social science data, and the potential for future research
based on them. The discussion will serve as an important starting point for
ensuring that data used in the most important sociological discoveries of
the past century are preserved for future research.

detailed information and discussion about how to effectively use
teamwork to accomplish course-specific and pedagogical goals. Second,
the workshop leaders bring a unique combination of experience in terms
of the types of classes in which such activities are used—from introductory classes to required theory classes to classes addressing international
issues. Finally, participants will leave the workshop with handouts that
highlight some of the activities used for possible implementation in their
own classrooms.
217. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Social Policy Issues:
Work and Family Policies
Organizer: Marjorie Schaafsma
Co-Leaders: Mindy L. Fried, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
Jennifer L. Glass, University of Iowa
Erin Kelly, University of Minnesota
This workshop brings together sociologists who have broad
experience in social research and development of policy/legislative ideas
in the area of work and families. This policy issue largely focuses on the
social consequences and problems created by a lag between profound
changes in the organization of families in the US, the impacts of
economic changes on the labor force, and more incremental changes in
work practices and workplace norms to meet the needs of employees who
are responsible for families. We will each speak briefly and address a
central question in developing a course on a social policy: How do we
decide what our courses on work and family policy are about? Addressing
ths core question will lead us to share with you our thoughs about course
goals, learning strategies and substantive issues in the policy area. In
answering this question we will introduce five important elements that we
think about in building a social policy course. These are: (1) social,
historical and political contexts of work and family issues; (2) a range of
issues raised in policy debates; (3) concrete policy proposals and legislation; (4) social science research that contribute to understanding problems
of work and family conflict and provides frameworks for policy solutions;
and (5) a respect for a diversity of social perspectives in understanding
both the nature of social problems and political policy solutions
218. Teaching Workshop. Teaching as Performance
Organizer and Leader: Jerry M. Lewis, Kent State University
This workshop focuses on the performance aspects of teaching
sociology, particularly introductory sociology. The performance dimension
of teaching, independent of sociological ideas, is a fact that professors
must face in lecturing. Four components of performance are examined:
voice, script, drama and physicality. Participants in the workshop will have
an opportunity for hands on work related to teaching sociology as
performance. This will be facilitated through individual and team role
plays.

Domhoff, University of California, Santa Cruz
How do we understand Bush’s election? Despite a stagnant
economy, an growingly unpopular war and poor performance in the
debates, Bush narrowly won. What social and cultural factors might
explain this victory, what are the implications for progressive politics?
Each participant will present some brief comments, a general discussion
will ensue.

Recent Trends of Chinese Immigration to the United States
and Europe: A Comparative Perspective. Zai Liang,

new patterns of contemporary human migration in the era of
globalization and the diverse migration experiences of both people on
the move and those left behind; 2) to suggest theoretical perspectives
for comparing various strands of migrations around the world and for
examining consequences on the sending and receiving countries.
247. Thematic Session. Islamic

The Making of the Iraqi Constitution: Interim Imposition
in Comparative Perspective. Andrew Arato, New School
University
The recent burst of attention to Islam, in both policy and
academic circles, often leaves the impression that Muslims form a
world apart from the rest of humanity. Scholars who wish to debunk
this dichotomous perspective, however, face their own dilemmas: if
Muslims’ social and political behavior can be analyzed with the
conceptual tools developed for Western societies, then what are we to
make of certain Muslims’ claims to cultural difference?

Leader: Felix Elwert, Harvard University
This seminar provides an overview of central concepts from the

model, Rubin model). The seminar emphasizes the usefulness of the
counterfactual approach for thinking about causal mechanisms and
bridging the gap between social theory and statistical methods. We will
stress intuition and heuristics over statistical recipes and proofs. However,
some new statistical material will be introduced. Topics include: potential
outcomes; the fundamental problem of causal inference; experimental
analogy; matching and propensity scores; relationship with OLS and
standard methods; point treatments versus time-varying treatments;
confounding and the role of social theory in causal estimation. Background: an advanced course on applied multiple regression and a good
understanding of the intuition behind standard methods (OLS, logit,
instrumental variables). Participants are encouraged to read pages 659-69,
671-78 in Winship and Morgan. 1999. “The Estimation of Causal Effects
from Observational Data.” Annual Review of Sociology 1999.

ethics in graduates and undergraduates research methods courses with
particular emphasis on two popular pedagogical strategies, the use of case
studies and events to illustrate specific ethical principles and the integration of the code of ethics in each phase of the research process. It will
demonstrate the practical applications of the ASA Code of Ethics in
executing collaborative research projects. The panelists will share insights
from their considerable experiences teaching research ethics to discuss
relevant cases and professional research ethic controversies; highlights of
the ASA Professional Code of Ethics; university IRBs and the approval of
student research projects; useful strategies to integrate ethics into the
research curriculum; and the politics of field research.

with PHDs.
258. Research Workshop. Wisconsin Longitudinal Study
Organizer and Leader: Robert M. Hauser, University of
Wisconsin, Madison
259. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Public Sociologies (cosponsored by the ASA Task Force on Institutionalizing
Public Sociology)
Organizer: Philip Nyden, Loyola University Chicago
Leaders: Philip Nyden, Loyola University Chicago
Leslie H. Hossfeld, University of North Carolina at
Wilmington
Attendees of the panel can expect to gain an understanding of how
to be more successful in various segments of the non-academic job
market. The panelists represent, or have worked in, a variety of nonacademic positions, including government agencies, private industry, state
government, charitable foundations, policy research firms, and independent consulting. In particular, we have asked each of the panelists to
address the following topics as it relates to their area of expertise:
• Getting to the interview: networking, job ads, attitude, presentation
of self.
• Interviewing: getting them, behaving in them, following up after, the
first, second, third...offers, negotiations.
• Getting to the next job: networking on the job, getting recognition
for work done, dealing with adversaries.
• Non-academic soft skills: being proactive, continuous education,
getting it done...from calendars, to knowing MS Office, to whatever.
The workshop will focus on how undergraduate and graduate
currical can be used to both familiarize students with public sociology and
prepare them to engage in publiv sociology — sociology seeks to engage
broader audiences or partners outside of academia. Public sociology can
range from working with community partners in community-based
participatory research (CBPR) to writing about research results in popular
publications such as newspapers and magazines. The workshop will focus
on issues such as: how engaged methods (e.g. CBPR, participatory
evaluation research, and action research) can be intergrated into
existingcourses; and how hands-on community-based research can be
woven into substantive courses. Other topics will include; what are our
ethical obligations to communicate our research to broader publics?; how
do sociologusts maintain rigorous research in “political” environments?;
and are their effective writing for non-academic audiences? The workshop
will include information collected by the ASA Task Force on Institutionalizing Public Sociology. Additional resource persons in the workshop will
include: Donald Light (Princeton University), Kevin Delaney (Temple
University), and Rebecca Gasior Altman (Brown University).

War, and Social Conflict
Organizer and Presider: Lynne M. Woehrle, Mount Mary
College
Panelists: David E. Rohall, Western Illinois University
Meyer Kestnbaum, University of Maryland
Mathew Johnson, West Virginia Wesleyan College
In this interactive workshop, leaders will pose key issues and
concepts to be covered in teaching about the social processes of war,
peace, and social conflict. Critical questions in the 21st century around the
impact of war, the processes of peace-building or peacemaking, and the
role of conflict analysis will be central to the discussion. What is it we
want our students to learn as they grow into global citizens? What are the
key forces shaping war and peace in the 21st century? How can Sociology
contribute to students’ understanding of the nexus of peace and war?
Examples from their own courses will be provided. Participants will be
invited to share their own teaching strategies as well. This workshops is
intended to enhance dialogue among those who teach regularly about
these issues and those who are interested in bringing them into the
classroom for the first time. Handouts provided.

The Hierarchical Stress Model argues that socioeconomic status is
responsible for health inequality. Health problems have changed as
science and public health have learned about diseases, but the inequality
of who experiences the illnesses and who lives the longest has endured.
This session will look at different social locations, and how they create
chronic stress. We will look at control in the work environment, social
factors influencing if women enter employment, how policy and
gatekeepers create unequal access to health care, education’s effect on
sense of wellbeing, and how marriage changes a person’s outlook on life.
All of these presentations will help us build a better understanding of the
social construction of stress and health inequality.

Race, Poverty and the Punitive Turn in US Child Welfare
Today and Tomorrow. Dorothy Roberts,
Putting the US case in historical and comparative perspective,
this panel will address the growing structural, functional, and cultural
convergence between social and penal policies in the US and Western
Europe. These policies have led to the creation of increasingly
restrictive, paternalistic, and punitive programs designed to manage
poor populations and territories. This session will spotlight the role of
economic transformation, racial division, and ideological shifts in this
convergence. It will help identify common empirical issues and build
new analytic bridges between research on penal trends and institutions and scholarship on welfare and poverty as they impact the
metropolis. Finally, this session will show that sociology can explain
this ominous convergence and can address its policy implications to
help prevent the concentration of its negative effects on the truly
disadvantaged.

Starting symbolically with sit-ins and resolutions to ASA Council,
feminist sociologists have been challenging and transforming the
discipline of sociology for the past thirty-five years. Organizationally,
demographically and theoretically, sociology has changed considerably in
this period. Looking at the goals and aspirations feminists had then and
the situation of sociology today, we ask just how profound or superficial
this change has been and what the needs and potential are for additional
transformations.

This workshop will introduce participants to innovative strategies
for engaging students enrolled in introduction to sociology courses.
Panelists will discuss methods for using the internet as a teaching tool in a
totally web-based environment, using the internet as a teaching tool to
enhance traditional lecture format courses, and as a strategy to get
students in large enrollment introduction to sociology courses involved in
the science of sociology via the Web and online data analysis strategies.
Panelists will also discuss projects that enable students to participate in
original research. The goal of these strategies is to help students to
understand the theoretical and empirical nature of sociology and their
relationship to substantive areas of sociology in spite of different modes of
instruction and class-size.

Discussant: Sheigla B. Murphy, Institute for Scientific
Analysis
For 100 years American sociologists have used historical
analyses, surveys, ethnographies, and various theoretical perspectives to understand drug use, users, cultures, movements, and
political responses. Nonetheless, sociological influence on the
development of U.S. drug policy has been minimal. Other nations
have sometimes based policies on sociological research, but U.S.
drug policy has usually remained “data proof.”

Leaders: Raymond C. Maietta, ResearchTalk, Inc.
Sharlene J. Hesse-Biber, Boston College
This session is based on two important premises: (1) the use of
qualitative software does not have to threaten the methodological integrity
of qualitative researchers’ work (2) qualitative software accommodates a
wide range of data analysis techniques. Highlighting both innovative and
classic features of ATLAS.ti, ETHNOGRAPH, HyperRESEARCH,
MAXqda, and NVIVO we demonstrate how off-screen manual methods
used to analyze qualitative data can be employed and enhanced with
qualitative software. Areas of focus include: Variety of data formats:
Options for analysis of text, audio, video and images Episode Profiles:
Summaries and representations of data collection episodes Memo writing
as stand alone analytical method. Codebook and theme evolution: The
process of creating codes and themes and finding patterns in your data.
Strategies for data review and presentation This session will be run
seminar-style; there will be NO hands-on computer work. Presenters will
encourage active participation throughout the session. This seminar will
run for 3 hours, with one short break.

Erik Olin Wright, University of Wisconsin
Marxism, as a critique of capitalist political economy and it
contradictions, was rooted in the class system of the 19th C. The material
foundations of capitalist domination rested on as a market economy where
wealth was based on the ownership private property or sale of wage labor
that in turn led to the alienation and exploitation of the working class.
Since its early formulations, Marxism has been greatly refined and
developed and now offers a crucial perspective for the sociological
understanding of a broad range of social phenomenon. This session is
oriented to the larger sociological community concerned with teaching the
leading edges of research and theory. A number of well known, Marxist
scholars woll share their expertise along a broad range of contemporary
issues to show the continued importance of the Marxist tradition to
sociology in general. Salient topics will include the contemporary class,
race and gender systems that are now located in a globalized context, the
impact of capitalism on the environment, and the diversity of Marxist
theories-especially the more humanist and critical theories.
345. Teaching Workshop. Teaching the Sociology of Work

include setting goals for the course; choosing among the wide variety of
available topics, issues, and themes; deciding on possible ways of
organizing the course; selecting reading (e.g. texts, readers, monographs,
fiction and poetry); developing assignments and discussion topics; and

and Identity Research
Organizer and Presider: Timothy J. Owens, Purdue University
Panelists: James Côté, University of Western Ontario
Viktor Gecas, Purdue University
Sheldon Stryker, Indiana University
Peggy Thoits, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
For over 100 years, social psychologists have been vigorously
investigating the origins and dimensions of self and identity as well as
158
their separate and joint influences on individual and societal functioning
and well-being. The panel will take the “long view” of self and identity
research by linking classic and contemporary concerns in self and identity
scholarship in social psychology with emerging ideas and directions for
future research.
384. Centennial Session. Envisioning
Public Sociology in the 21st Century
Organizer and Presider: Barbara Jane Risman, North Carolina

Out of the Closet: Valuing and Rewarding Public Sociology.
Pepper J. Schwartz, University of Washington
Discussant: Michael Burawoy, University of California,
Berkeley
Each panelist will address the possibilities for public sociology in
the 21st Century. The presentations may assess contemporary realities but
will focus primarily on visions, pragmatic and utopian, for the future.
How might public sociology be established as a legitimate and necessary
part of our professional repertoire? What strategies are likely to be
effective and useful? How should we, as a discipline, shape our future?
385. Special Session. The Myopia of American Sociology:
Insights from East Asia
Organizers: Jeffrey Broadbent, University of Minnesota;
Koichi Hasegawa, Tohoku University

This session will examine how sociological concepts, categories
and theories common in US sociology (etic) are “culture bound,” failing
to adequately grasp and apply to the social realities of other cultures
(emic), in this case East Asian societies. In this way, we hope to help
expand the pluralism of sociology.

388. Regional Spotlight Session. The Constitution as Museum: Capturing America’s Constitutional History for Public Exhibit
The Constitution Center, Kirby Auditorium,
525 Arch Street
Organizer and Presider: Kim Lane Scheppele, University of
Pennsylvania
Panelists: Joachim J. Savelsberg, University of Minnesota
Robin E. Wagner-Pacifici, Swarthmore College
Steven Frank, National Constitution Center
Philadelphia was the home to the Constitutional Convention of
1787, where the US Constitution was written. To reflect on the ways the
Constitution has assisted in the construction of America, the National
Constitution Center (NCC) opened its doors in July 2003 to provide a
portrayal of America’s constitutional engagement. This session brings
together some of the founding members of the NCC together with ASA
members who work in sociology of law and sociology of culture to ask:
How does a museum present the Constitution to a general public? What
do museums emphasize and what do they hide? How can the history and
legacy of the American Constitution be presented to a general public? And
what can sociologists add to the conversation about the way that history
lives in museums?
The session will be held at the National Constitution Center
(NCC) itself, in the Kirby Auditorium. The NCC is very close to the
Convention Center. The Convention Center is between 11th and 13th
Street on Arch Street, and the National Constitution Center is between 5th
and 6th Street on Arch Street. To get to the NCC, walk straight down
Arch Street for six short blocks. The Kirby Auditorium is on the second
floor. After the session, attendees might want to tour either the museum
itself with its special exhibit on “Lincoln, the Constitution and the Civil
War” (admission $9) or the Independence Hall/Liberty Bell complex
(admission free with timed ticket).

Annual Program Database
Organizer and Leader: Kenneth Nyberg, California State
University, Bakersfield
Fuzzy sets are used to scale degree of membership in sets, using
values in the interval from 0 to 1 (ranging from full nonmembership to
full membership). Fuzzy set analysis is gaining popularity in the social
sciences today because of the close connections it enables between verbal
theory, substantive knowledge (especially in the calibration of set
membership), and data analysis, using basic set theoretic principles. This
workshop focuses on the use of fuzzy sets in case-oriented research,
where the investigator has a degree of familiarity with the cases included
in the investigation and seeks to understand cases configurationally—as
specific combinations of aspects or elements. Using fuzzy-set methods,
case outcomes can be examined in ways that allow for causal complexity,
where different combinations of causally relevant conditions combine to
generate the outcome in question. Also, with fuzzy-set methods it is a
possible to evaluate arguments that causal conditions are necessary or
sufficient. Examinations of this type are outside the scope of conventional
analytic methods. Participants are expected to have general familiarity
with both qualitative and quantitative methods. Some prior exposure to set
theory (Boolean algebra) or qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is
recommended.

that have informed scholarship over the years and examine them in
the contemporary era of increasingly global, corporate media: (1)
inter-related structural changes-in ownership, markets, technology,
law, and policy— that shape both the form and content of media
output and everyday use; (2) normalizing functions of media
institutions that enable and constrain certain kinds of communication and produce particular patterns of representation; (3) meaningful practices that emerge from everyday media use.

Organizer: Diane Pike, Augsburg College
Leaders: Diane Pike, Augsburg College
Robert K. Shelly, Ohio University
Few educational decisions garner as much attention, commitment
and heartache as general education. In this participatory workshop, we
examine some of the major issues involved in general education:
organizational type and size, common core curricula versus menu/
cafeteria, and institutional processes understood from organizational
theory perspectives. Of particular focus is the role of sociology within the
curriculum—specific niches and models of engagement to advance the
discipline. Presentation, large and small group discussion/activities, and
handouts are included.
436. Career Workshop. Career Paths Outside the Academy
(co-sponsored by the ASA Section on Sociological
Practice)
Organizer: Leora Lawton, TechSociety Research
Presider: Estelle Disch, University of Massachusetts Boston
Panelists: Cristina Bodinger de Uriarte, California State
Alice Kroliczak, Health Resources and Services Admin
Mathew E. Sloan, Mathematica Policy Research
Margaret M. Mueller, Leo J. Shapiro & Associates
The Workshop on Career Paths Outside the Academy will feature
panelists who will discuss: 1) their insights on what knowledge, skills and
abilities a sociologist needs which they may not have been exposed to in
their sociological education; 2) how attendees could acquire those
knowledge, skills, and abilities; 3) what (from their experience) nonacademic career paths would look like. The panelists will provide
attendees with a set of resources and/or references. After the workshop,
attendees should have a better feel for what they need to do to enhance
their non-academic employment potential and performance.

Panelists: Charles A. Gallagher, Georgia State University
Samuel Martell Richards, Pennsylvania State University
Susan D. Rose, Dickinson College
This workshop will open up a discussion of Effective Ways of
171
Teaching, how to engage students in integrative and community-based
learning, and offer strategies for engaging students in the exploration and
examination of sensitive issues such as race, class, and gender. Samples of
syllabi, assignments, and video documentaries will be used to ground the
discussion. Faculty guiding the workshop come from large universities
(Penn State and Georgia State) and a small, highly selective liberal arts
college (Dickinson). Audience participation will be encouraged. Participants are invited to bring syllabi of their own to share with others.
439. Research Workshop. NCOVR Web-Based Data
Resources: Introduction to Data Cubes
Organizers and Leaders: Jacqueline Cohen and Pat Edgar,
Carnegie Mellon University
The Data Center of the National Consortium on Violence
Research (NCOVR) provides web access to a number of data collections
relating to violent offending and victimization. Available data include:
UCR police offense and arres data, SHR homicide reports, NIBRS
incident-based data, NCVS victimization data, and Census data for 1980,
1990 and 2000. Two web-based tools provide access to data. Oracle’s
Discoverer adhoc query tool allows users to customize extract files.
Cognos Powerplay provides flexible access to structured data “cubes.”
Users can aggregate or disaggregate data and focus on particular areas of
interest with only an internet connection and standard web browser. The
workshop will introduce potenial users to available data cubes and provide
instruction on how to use the web-based query tools with illustrations
from the various data collections.
440. Teaching Workshop. Incorporating Problem-Based
Learning Into the Classroom
Organizers and Leaders: Jamie Mullaney, Goucher College;
Janet Hinson Shope, Goucher College
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that
uses alternatives to traditional methods of teaching in order to help
students learn to think critically and analytically. In contrast to traditional,
lecture-based, instructor-guided methods, PBL asks students to be
responsible for various stages of their own learning. By examining a realworld problem, students identify for themselves what issues are important,
how various perspectives/ disciplines deal with such issues, and potential
solutions to the problem. For this workshop, we will discuss how to
design PBL problems. In addition to providing PBL examples from our
own courses, we will address how to tailor PBLs for a variety of course
levels and topics. We will discuss our experience using PBLs in the
classroom, student responses to the method, as well as the problems faced
(e.g., how to assess progress, issues of group work).
441. Teaching Workshop. Integrating Queer Studies in the
Sociology Curriculum

Peterson, University of North Carolina at Asheville

Panel: Keith Bramlett, University of North Carolina, Asheville

Karin E. Peterson, University of North Carolina at
Asheville
Heather Laine Talley, Vanderbilt University
Queer studies as an interdisciplinary perspective presents sociologists with new approaches to thinking about constructionism, identity,
difference and Inequality, social control, and politics. This workshop
explores the extent to which queer studies can both challenge and
enhance sociological insights, particularly within the undergraduate
curriculum. It is especially designed for those interested in beginning to
integrate queer scholarship into course content. While queer theories and
perspectives are (sometimes) addressed in sexuality of heteronormativity,
social regulation, diverse identities and experiences, and changing cultural
meanings and politics can enrich the study of sociology in a broader range
of courses. This is an interactive workshop. After workshop leaders and
participants share their own attempts to integrate the insights and
approaches of queer scholarship into their courses, the group will reflect
on the benefits, the challenges, and the negotiation of integration. Some
issues to be addressed include: the implications of understanding the
interconnections of sexuality, gender, race, class, and disability; rethinking
the body of sociological knowledge; course development; pedagogical
considerations; dealing with unprepared and/or resistant students; and the
implications of asking students to think against the grain.
442. Teaching Workshop. Teaching Criminology (cosponsored by the Section on Crime, Law, and Deviance)
Organizer: Scott Allen Desmond, Purdue University
Leaders: Scott Allen Desmond, Purdue University
J. William Spencer, Purdue University
The workshop will cover many different aspects of teaching
criminiology. Topics that will be covered in the workshop include different
approaches to structuring and organizing a criminology course, suggestions for textbooks and supplemental reading materials, classroom
exercises, writing assignments, and eucational and feature films that can
be used in criminology courses. Although the workshop will be most
beneficial to novice instructors who are teaching the course for the first
time, those who have previously taught criminology should also find the
workshop useful for improving their courses.

481. Thematic Session. Media
Cultures II
Organizer and Presider: Ronald A. Lembo, Amherst
College
Panelists: Wendy Chun, Brown University
Arvind Rajagopal, New York University
Allen Feldman, New York University
Discussant: Margaret Cerullo, Hampshire College
This panel explores the idea of technological mediation as it
occurs amidst economic and socio-cultural processes. It does so by
considering challenges to the west made possible by the spread of
media. In an earlier generation, print was crucial in these challenges, with educated intelligentsia resisting liberal colonial rule,
and seeking national independence. Today, challenges to the west
go beyond the substance of earlier battles to address liberalism
itself. The character of these new challenges has often not been
accurately understood. If sociology as a discipline emerged to
address the problem of order in liberal, western societies, then antiliberal phenomena outside the west are doubly disadvantaged when
it comes to our understanding of them. By focusing on mechanisms
and practices of mediation sociologists can illuminate both the
character of these new socio-political challenges as well as highlight
sociological assumptions and principles requiring revision in the
contemporary context.

result of studying sociology. The emphasis will be on active forms of
learning-simulations, exercises, and research activities. Useful films and
websites will also be described. Participants in the workshop will be
provided with examples of exercises they can use in teaching sociology in

In the field of Criminal Justice, opportunities are available to
sociologists and students of sociology in academia, government, and in a
variety of areas of policy and practice. Sociologists fill the ranks of
university departments of criminology and criminal justice. They work in
government research and policy bureaus and offices. They serve in
leadership positions in criminal justice and law enforcement agencies. At
this workshop presenters will talk about the opportunities available in
these settings to sociologists, and what it takes to be competitive for these
positions. The workshop presenters have taught at universities, directed
undergraduate and graduate programs, worked in federal and state justice
agencies, and for private research organizations. After the presentations,
questions by participants will be addressed. The workshop will conclude
with a discussion of the kinds of positions available with various academic
degrees in sociology.

491. Teaching Workshop. Including the Sociology of the
Future in the Undergraduate Curriculum
Organizer: Peter Bishop, University of Houston, Clear Lake
Leaders: Peter Bishop, University of Houston, Clear Lake
Arthur B. Shostak, Drexel University (emeritus)
This session is intended to invite sociology teachers to promote the
study of social change in their courses and to explicitly consider forces
acting today that are shaping a different future. Sociologists can use the
concepts and techniques of futures studies in the introductory course, in
social problems (as they change over time), in the theory course (a theory
185
of change as well as of structure), the research methods course
(forcasting), statistics (trend extrapolation, systems modeling) and any
topical course because all those phenomena are also changing even as
they are being taught. The teaching workshop will review a simple,
common-sense approach to considering the future, review the tools and
techniques that futurusts use to describe and influence change, and share
resources that teachers can use to include the future in their courses. The
course leaders will also prepare a reference guide containing resources for
teachers to take away with them.

Discussant: Don Howard Zimmerman, University of California,

This session will visit work in relation to the emergence of
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis over the past 40 years as
represented in the work of Don Zimmerman. To visit Zimmerman’s work
over the decades is to follow a path from studies of rules and decisionmaking in a welfare agency, to ethnomethodological theory, to studies of
interruptions and topic organization in conversation, to ideas about the
“doing” of gender, to 911 emergency calls, and more recently of young
children and their interactions. In this work, it is possible to trace the way
that sociology, at least in the domain of interaction and local order, has a
strain going from traditional field work and ethnomethodological studies
of organizations to conversation analytic concern with generic forms of
talk to research on the micro-orders in specialized settings involving
matters of police work and children’s day care.

520. Thematic Session. Impoverished,
Dead, or Morally Corrupt: Should

Organizer: Mark Konty, Auburn University
Presider: Thomas C. Calhoun, Southern Illinois University
The Deviance Society. Patricia A. Adler, University of

Greatly Exaggerated? The Reports of Deviance’s Death.
Joel Best, University of Delaware
Contextualizing Deviance within Social Change and Social
Stability. Nachman Ben-Yehuda, Hebrew University
Is Deviance Still Relevant to Sociology? Erich Goode,
The sociological study of deviance has had a constant
presence throughout the hundred-year history of the ASA. In the last
30 years, however, that presence has been heavily criticized. The first
criticisms leveled at deviance studies argued that the study of
deviance reified the power relationships that define deviance in the
first place. This was followed by a claim that the field was “dead”,
it’s objects of study properly examined by other substantive areas.
Recently a broadside was fired from the opposite direction and the
sociology of deviance was accused of contributing to the moral
decline of American society by questioning the validity of moral
claims, in effect rendering all moral claims obsolete. This panel
addresses these issues and looks to the past of the sociology of
deviance to find the future of the sociology of deviance.

Kiat Sim and Takehiko Kariya, University of Tokyo
Discussant: Kenneth A. Frank, Michigan State University
Research has shown us again and again that macro level education
policies are loosely coupled to the education system. It has not been often
that federal or state level policies have led to real change being implemented at the local level or for particular groups of students. This session
brings together the results of rigorous empirical research on the actual
effects of current federal and state policies aimed at improving equality of
educational opportunity. The discussant, Kenneth Frank, will apply his

The Three Great, Or at Least Pretty Good, Races.
Jonathan Marks, University of North Carolina,
Charlotte
Discussant: Troy Duster, New York University
This session presents analyses of competing perspetives on
race and ethnicity. Recent studies by physical anthropologists and
genetic linkage analysts have argued that there is new genetic
evidence for arguing that race is a set of biological categories. Much
of this research examines “racial” variation in predisposition
towards particular diseases. Interestingly, most population geneticists argue against this claim. This session will bring together
scholars who contest this claim on the basis of epidemiological
evidence, population genetic evidence, and ethnographic study of
the laboratories producing this claim.

549. Methodological Seminar. Structuring Discovery: A
Model and Method for Multisite Team Ethnography
Leaders: Linda Burton, Pennsylvania State University
Stephen Matthews, Pennsylvania State University
Debra Skinner, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
This seminar is intended for social scientists interested in conducting large longitudinal multi-site team ethnographies as part of program
projects or multi-method studies which include observational and survey
components. Using “structured discovery,” the framework we developed
to successfully conduct two large longitudinal ethnographic studies of
families and poverty in urban and rural settings (Welfare, Children, and
Families: A Three-City Study www.jhu.edu/~welfare and The Family Life
Project), we provide concrete examples of the highly effective systems of
communication, data transfer, management, and analysis we used to
orchestrate the activities of multisite ethnographic teams comprising over
215 members and produce high quality, reliable and valid ethnographic
data. We also introduce a novel methodological strategy-Geoethnography.
We developed Geoethnography to integrate ethnographic methods and
data on families and communities with Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) technology to inform our understanding of families’ use of time and
space.
550. Professional Workshop. Launching an Academic
Career in an Uncertain Economy: Advice from the
Experts
Organizer: Barrett Lee, Pennsylvania State University
Leaders: Christine L. Himes, Syracuse University
Barrett Lee, Pennsylvania State University
Peter M. Nardi, Pitzer College

starting academic careers. The leaders will highlight the differences
between public and private, teaching and research, and small and large
institutions. Strategies for being more competitive in the job market will
be shared including; writing effective cover letters and vitas, interviewing
techniques, preparing job talks, and alternate career paths.
551. Teaching Workshop. Sequencing Writing Across the
Sociology Major: What to do about the Soft Middle?
Organizer: Sherri L. Grasmuck, Temple University
Leaders: Sherri L. Grasmuck, Temple University
Eli Goldblatt, Temple University
We will lead an interactive session that explores how the teaching
of writing might be coordinated across the major and integrated with the
teaching reaearch skills. Drawing on the results of an in-depth look at
writing assignments across a collection of social science and humanities
departments, we will explore strategies for how toexamin the development of writing across the major and how to improve its coordination.
Sharing lessons painfully learned about “the soft middle” of many majors,
we will offer some ideas, and hear others, about what we have found to be
the best starting point for beginning a collective rethinking of writing
instruction as a coordinated process across the major rather than only in
the context of individual courses.
552. Teaching Workshop. The Place of Theory in Applied
Sociology
Organizers: Jay A. Weinstein, Eastern Michigan University;
Marvin S. Finkelstein, Southern Illinios University
Edwardsville
Presider: Marvin S. Finkelstein, Southern Illinios University
Edwardsville
Panelists: Kristine J. Ajrouch, Eastern Michigan University
Michael J. Capece, Valdosta State University
Robert A. Dentler, University of Massachusetts, Boston
Judith K. Little, Humboldt State University
Jammie Price, Appalachian State University
Participants will discuss two related sets of issues: (1) the
challenges and prospects associated with integrating theoretical perspectives into courses on applied sociology and (2) the role of applicationfocused material in courses on sociological theory. Undergraduate and
graduate-level curricula will be considered. Our premise is that theory is
one of the applied sociologist’s most potent tools for problem solving and
that its use distinguishes sociological practitioners from other professionals who do similar work. That is, theory and practice are complementary
components of the work of sociologists. Yet, despite this close logical —
and historical — connection, many of our students (and some of their
instructors) continue to view theorizing and application as mutually
exclusive activities.
553. Teaching Workshop. Using Popular Music to Frame
Sociological Concepts
Organizer: Benjamin D. Albers, Duke University
Leaders: Benjamin D. Albers, Duke University
Rebecca Bach, Duke University
One of the principle challenges in teaching sociology is conveying
the scope of the sociological imagination. Students often have difficulty
moving beyond their lived experiences to perceive broader social forces.
In this workshop we will explore how popular music can be employed to
help students acquire the perspectives needed to engage in sociological
inquiry. Additionally we will address the use of popular music in
humanizing instructors, providing common reference points that can
overcome differences in students’ cultural literacy, and expanding
students’ understanding of the range of phenomena open to sociological
examination.

554. Teaching Workshop. What’s New with Student CHIP:
An Update for Experienced Users and an Introduction
for Newbies (co-sponsored by ASA’s Integrated Data

Organizer: Gregg Lee Carter, Bryant University
Leaders: Gregg Lee Carter, Bryant University
William H. Frey, University of Michigan
Susanne Morgan, Ithaca College
Susanne Mrogan will present Student Chip-based modules that are
illustrative of the approach taught in the SS-DAN workshops, as well as
an assessment by instructors of how well they work. Gregg Carter will
demonstrate the latest version of Student Chip, with data analysis
examples taken from the 4th edition of his Doing Sociology with Student
Chip: Data Happy! (Allyn & Bacon, 2004). William Frey’s presentation
will focus on new developments with the SSDAN Network and on how
CHIP users can access Census/CPS data over the Internet. Ample time
will be allowed for other session attendees to discuss their uses of CHIP
and other software — such as MicroCase and SPSS — as teaching tools,
especially in their substantive (nonresearch methods) courses.

566. Thematic Session. Globalization
and the Sociology of Non-Western
Societies
Organizer and Presider: Arvind Rajagopal, New York
University
How Not to Do Globalization Studies. Saskia Sassen,
Intensive Capitalism. Scott M. Lash, Goldsmiths College,
University of London
Modernity and Its Mediations. Arvind Rajagopal, New
York University
It is well known that sociology as a discipline emerged in
response to the problem of social order resulting from industrialization. It is important to reckon with the implications of this fact,
namely that sociology was founded in the apprehension of democracy, not to further it. Today, when those in the west find themselves
apprehensive of popular movements in different parts of the world,
sociologists find many of them reprehensible or worse. No doubt
such movements maybe ambivalent in both intent and outcome. Can
we be certain, however, that sociology’s concern with order is not be
reasserting itself in contexts that require the re-examination of that
concern, and how it is expressed? This session will pose the problem
of a sociology of non-western societies in the context of globalization
as critical to the relevance and revitalization of the discipline as a
whole. The need that this session will take as its premise, namely to
historicize sociology’s origins, was ignored for at least two reasons.
Firstly, sociology arrived after the boundaries of the modern nationstate were secured, and thus came to identify itself with social reform
projects within an established political context. (Thus for instance,
sociology has had an uneasy relationship with Marxism, as e.g.,
Michael Burawoy has argued.) Secondly, sociology developed within
a western setting whose historical features came to be identified with
modern norms tout court. Thus the sociology of non-western
societies was confined to questions of “development,” or relegated to
a different disciple, usually anthropology. But in the context of
globalization, and the worldwide circulation of people and things in
consolidated circuits of exchange becomes ever harder to ignore. The
pretense that my modernity can be achieved at your expense and is
yet a thing apart is harder to sustain. This then requires that we
confront “non-western” phenomena (no longer uniquely nonwestern and local) in theoretical and not simply normative terms.
567. Thematic Session. Sociology in
the Culture Wars: From Public
Issues to Personal Problems and
Back Again
Organizer and Presider: Arlene Skolnick, New York
University
Panelists: Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, Graduate Center, City
Frank F. Furstenberg, University of Pennsylvania
Michael Kimmel, Stony Brook University, State
For the past quarter century, cultural conflicts have divided
Americans from one another, and rocked the balance of politica1
power in the nation. The battle may shift from one topic to another
abortion, women’s rights, gay rights, teen pregnancy, divorce, but
the overarching framework is a “moral decay” and a “decline of the
family.” If ever the country needed sociology’s empirical expertise
and its theoretical insights it is in these highly polarized public
debates. The understanding, for example, that the family is always
in flux, and is profoundly affected by its wider social and economic
contexts, could lead to a more nuanced public conversation. Yet
there is often a striking discrepancy between the academic literature
and the “findings” that provoke media coverage. Instead, the line
between social science findings and political advocacy is blurred.
Social science is selectively used and misused in support of political
advocacy usually by conservatives. For example, in public discourse
about the effects of divorce on children, the major findings of
academic research are virtually ignored, in favor of a deeply flawed
clinical study that comes to dire conclusions. Sociologists have
played a variety of roles in these debates. They can be found on
either side of the culture wars. But voices from the right are highly
amplified by a well-financed network of think tanks, foundations,
and a variety of local and national media outlets. Founded in the
l970’s, this network was explicitly designed to replace the universities and mainstream foundations as sources of policy ideas. The
panel will address the question: how can sociology play a larger role
in framing public debates over family, sexuality, and gender? How
can we advance a more complex, nuanced national conversation
about these emotionally and politically charged matters?
568. Centennial Session. Comparative
Perspectives on the Teaching of Sociology:
A Century of Transmission
Organizers: Wava G. Haney, University of Wisconsin Colleges;
Diane Pike, Augsburg College
Presider: Wava G. Haney, University of Wisconsin Colleges
Teaching Sociology: From Interest Group to Scholarly Specialty. Carla B. Howery, American Sociological Association
Teaching as Public Sociology. Michael Burawoy, University of
The Matter of Teaching and Why Teaching Matters. Teresa A.
Sullivan, The University of Texas at Austin
The capacity for species survival depends upon transmitting the
code. The capacity for sociology’s survival depends upon passing on the
discipline. Most members of the ASA teach in some capacity-presumably
none would be sociologists had they not been taught. Major founders in
the field addressed issues of teaching the science of society passionately
and eloquently and contemporaries continue to do so. Thus, an examination of the rising and declining significance of teaching in sociology, and
in the ASA, is imperative at this century milestone. Four panelists consider
this charge by each analyzing and interpreting an essay on teaching
sociology selected from one quarter of the century. How can this text be
compared to our present understanding of the role and status of teaching
sociology? What are the competing explanations for why the teaching of
sociology has fared as it has thus far? What should be the direction of the
profession in the future and what role should sociology play as higher
education debates the scholar-teacher role? Such intellectually important
exchanges cannot help but to advance our understanding of how our
collective ability to teach may secure our very future.
569. Special Session. Public Sociology in Contested Areas
Organizer and Presider: Amy T. Schalet, University of California, San Francisco
Panelists: Samuel R. Friedman, National Development and
Research Institute
Judith D. Auerbach, American Foundation for AIDS Rsch
Judith Stacey, New York University
Troy Duster, New York University
Carole E. Joffe, University of California, Davis
The presider will ask the panelists direct questions about the
special challenges they, and colleagues, face as public sociologists working
in such highly politicized fields as HIV/AIDS, gay marriage, the human
genome project and abortion. The notorious “hit list”of researchers
working in politically sensitive areas assembled by the NIH, and the recent
spread of “junk science” in these contested areas are among the topics to
be addressed. The audience will be encouraged to participate in open
discussion and exchange.
570. Academic Workshop. Recruiting and Retaining
Quality Majors
Organizer and Presider: Susan Lynn Caulfield, Western
Michigan University
Panel: Edward L. Kain, Southwestern University
Esther Wilder, Lehman College and the Graduate Center
Sarah Susannah Willie, Swarthmore College
This workshop will focus on the recruitment and retention of
quality sociology majors, with a primary focus on undegraduate programs
in Sociology. Recruitment will be addressed in terms of both directed
213
initiatives to recruit quality students as well as general approaches such as
handbooks and pamphlets. Retention will be discussed in a couple of
different ways as well, such as the unintended gatekeeping that may occur
in some programs, or any “vascular weakness” in the curriculum
“pipeline.” Examples of retention issues include issues around quantitative courses, use of cohorts, lack of coherence across the major, and
interaction with other disciplines. The workshop is designed as a briefing
session, where presenters provide insights, resources and exemplary
models or programs. The majority of the time will be spent in conversation with workshop attendees on these very important issues.
571. Workshop cancelled
572. Research Workshop. Using Census Data for Research
Panelists: Trent Alexander, University of Minnesota
Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens College and Graduate Center
William H. Frey, University of Michigan
This workshop provides an overview of prominent online
resources for utilizing Census data in research, developed by three
different University groups. They are: (1) the Integrated Public Use
Microdata IPUMS project (www.IPUMS.org) developed at the University
of Minnesota Population Center: (2) The Social Explorer
(www.social.explorer.com) developed at the Queens College Sociology
Department; and (3) CensusScope (www.CensusScope.org) developed by
the Social Science Data Analysis Network (www.SSDAN.net) at the
University of Michigan. IPUMS provides researchers with ready online
access to 2000 US census and Current Population Survey micro-data as
well as harmonized microdata for 16 previous US censuses, for trend and
historical analyses. IPUMS also provides international census data. Social
Explorer permits researchers to map and create reports that depict social
and demographic characteristics for user-defined geographic areas
including census tracts, or neighborhoods for current and earlier censuses.
CensusScope provides a quick look-up of 1990 and 2000 census statistics,
including segregation measures, for geographic areas with colorful
graphics, maps, and ranking lists that are exportable into Word and Excel
spreadsheets. The workshop will provide demonstrations of each of these
web-based tools, discussions of how they have been used successfully in
research settings and handouts which will allow participants to access
them.
573. Teaching Workshop. Successfully Teaching Statistics
without Watering Down
Organizer: Ferris J. Ritchey, University of Alabama-Birmingham
Leaders: Ferris J. Ritchey, University of Alabama-Birmingham
Thomas A. Petee, Auburn University
This workshop presents an overall strategy and class-tested
techniques that prevent a common dilemma experienced by statistics
214
instructors: the perception that either class material must be oversimplified
(i.e., “watered down”) or that math-challenged students must be rejected
(i.e., “weeded out”). This approach shows how undergraduate statistics
courses can be taught without compromising depth of understanding,
comuptational skill levels, or scope of material. Specific methods are
offered for reifying abstract ideas, such as standard errors, sampling
distributions, the null hypothesis, and degrees of freedom. Innovative
graphics software and internet resources are presented. Attendees are
encouraged to share experiences and challenges of teaching statistics.

“From the Factory to the Bakery”: The Social Construction of
“Urban” and “Suburban” Schools. Linda M. Waldron,
Christopher Newport University
Discussant: Jose Antonio Padin, Portland State University
This interactive workshop will focus on selected issues in teaching
undergraduate sociological social psychology including: experiments and
research conducted by students, teaching analytic skills, effective short
assignments, making the most out of non-textbook readings, and using the
web to enhance student learning. Lots of time will be available for
questions, audience participations, and audience input. We will also have
several handouts with information on selecting texts, assignment ideas,
experiment/activity ideas, web resources, and print resources.
The four papers in this panel together show that racial issues are
continually re-constructed using words that racialize. The papers’ authors
examine the use of the spoken word in everyday settings (the workplace
and school grounds) and the written word in social science research (in
surveys and biomedical research) and discuss the power of words in the
process of racialization. It is hoped that by examining these language
constructions together, we might find ways to combat that most negative
counterpart to racialization: racism.

Rather than focusing on specific aspects of social phenomena as
the other Rational Choice session does, this session is concerned with
Rational Choice perspective in a broader sense. Some papers are focused
on metatheoretical discussion (e.g., what is the characteristic and the
future of Rational Choice compared to other perspectives), while the other
papers use Rational Choice perspective to interpret concrete and
important social phenomena.

Future Imaginaries: Genome Scientists as Socio-Cultural

Discussant: Ronald A. Lembo, Amherst College
This session will present a new field of study that fits under
the rubric of “the sociology of the future.” The field includes
theoretical frames and empirical investigations of current enterprises that are making our futures. They focus especially on
scientific and technological efforts that will have effects in the long
term, but that are often taken for granted as “inevitable” and
“unstoppable” in the present. Instead, this set of scholars use
sociological imagination to examine how future expectations are
being cast and framed by today’s technologists.
592. Centennial Session. Knowledge
Accumulation in Sociology
Organizer and Presider: Barbara Schneider, University of
Chicago
Reconceptualizing Knowledge Accumulation. Andrew Abbott,
The Structure of Sociology. James Moody, Ohio State University
Evaluating Knowledge Accumulation. Barbara Schneider,
David Charles Schalliol, and Sarah Stewart Makela,
A hundred years after the founding of ASA and almost two
hundred years after the establishment of sociology, the question of what
are the sources of knowledge that hold sociology together as a discipline
remains largely unanswered. Sociology is often accused of being an
aggregation of fragmentary areas of study. This accusation appears to be
validated by the increasing range of problem areas studied by sociologists,
the reliance on multiple and often conflicting theoretical assumptions, the
markedly different methods employed by investigators, and the varied
understandings of what constitutes scientific inquiry. Still, sociologists
follow similar graduate training paths, participate in the same professional
association, and share a common identity as sociologists. Our proposed
session will examine the sources of cohesion (“the glue”) that binds
221
sociologists together. It will also consider the structure of sociology-the
different levels of separation and connectedness, the subfields, the major
schools of thought, the cleavages, and the bridges. Papers in this session
will focus on the following questions: How is knowledge practiced by
sociologists? What are the unifying concepts of sociology and have they
changed over time? And finally, is knowledge accumulation possible
under these conditions?

Fear and Loathing of the Public Sphere: Can Sociology
Liberate Itself from Nature and Reclaim the Right to Have
Rights? Margaret R. Somers, University of Michigan
Discussant: Michele Lamont, Harvard University
Since the English translation in 1989 of Jürgen Habermas’ The
Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere 27 years after the German
original, the notion of the public sphere has been increasingly prominent
in various strands of U.S. sociology. Conceptualizations of a public life
intimately relevant to political power, however, have been present in U.S.
sociology before Habermas as well. This panel reviews and discusses the
use and usefulness of the public sphere in a variety of contexts and
theoretical frameworks to bring out the unique contribution of this
conceptualization and demonstrate its continued relevance in the presentday conditions of late-modern societies.
594. Special Session. How Did You Do That? Examples of

Service-learning is a hands-on teaching tool that engages students
in learning sociological concepts in community settings. A brief description and overview of service-learning and three different models involving
community based learning will be presented. The three models highlighted are: an integrated service-learning approach to sociology; a
comprehensive service-learning approach to sociology; and a comprehensive community based learning approach to the sociology major. This
workshop will have something to offer everyone, from the novice to the
expert.

for integrating US Census Data in user-friendly ways in a variety of
undergraduate courses — from Intro Sociology and Social Problems, to
Stratification, Race Relations, the Family, Sociology of Aging, Population
and more. US Census data have the advantage of providing comprehensive information for local geographic areas, and small population
subgroups, as well as permitting analyses of change over many decades.
This workshop will introduce faculty to three prominent Census data
dissemination projects with a focus on undergraduate courses: (1) The
Social Science Data Analysis Network (www.SSDAN.net) which is
working with the American Sociological Association’s Integrated Data
Analysis (IDA) project to infuse data analysis in courses at all levels of the
curriculum; (2) The Social Explorer (www.socialexplorer.com) which
allows students to explore the social geography of neighborhoods and
larger areas with maps, and a wide array of analysis tools; and (3) the
Integrated Public Use Microdata IPUMS project (www.IPUMS.org)
which permits students to analyze historical census data for the US, and
other countries. The workshop will provide demonstrations of each of
these web-based tools, discussions of how they have been used successfully in classroom settings and handouts which will allow participants to
utilize them
The Middle East has been a focal point of international relationships since the beginning of the last century. While its long history of
civilization give it a significant role in understanding societal developments, more recently its strategic location and geopolitical significance
have made it a site of global conflict. Since September 11, 2001, the
region has become the focus of new attention and controversies. As a
heavily Muslim populated region, the area finds itself in the midstof a
“clash of civilizations” and home to two members of the US-designated
“Axis of Evil.” Given the significance of the region and its role in world
politics, how does one teach about this region in American classrooms?
What special challenges and obstacles exist in analyzing the Middle
Eastern countries with the conceptual and theoretical tools of Western
social science? Which sociological perspectives and methodologies are
more relevant in understanding the role of class, ethnicity, gender, and
religion in Middle Eastern societies? This workshop will discuss the above
issues and respond to concerns the attendees might have regarding
teaching the sociology of the Middle East.

The Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) is a 47
year-long study of the life course among 10,000 men and
women who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in
1957, and who have been followed up at ages 25, 36, 5354, and 64-65. Data from the original respondents or their
parents from 1957 to 1975 cover social background,
youthful and adult aspirations, schooling, military service,
family formation, labor market experience, and social
participation. The 1992-93 surveys cover occupational
histories; income, assets, and economic transfers; social
and economic characteristics of parents, siblings, and
children; and mental and physical health and well-being.
Parallel interviews were carried out with siblings in 1977
and 1993-94. A new round of survey data collection from
graduates, siblings, and their spouses or widows began in
mid-2003. Beyond repeated measures, the new surveys
add more extensive data on health, health behaviors,
health insurance, psychological and cognitive functioning,
family relations, social and civic participation, religiosity,
and preparation for retirement and for the end of life.
WLS data and documentation are available on the World
Wide Web (http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wls/), and public
2003-04 data for graduates will be released late in 2005.

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a
cross-sectional, multipurpose health survey conducted by
the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Conducted
continuously since 1957, the NHIS is the principal source
of information on the health of the civilian, noninstitutionalized household population of the United
States. The data are used to monitor major health trends,
plan and evaluate federal health policies, track progress
227
toward achieving national health objectives, and conduct
public health and other research. In 1997, the NHIS
underwent a major questionnaire revision to improve the
relevance of the data. The redesigned questionnaire
contains core questions that remain essentially unchanged
over time, plus additional items added as supplements
each year to provide more in-depth coverage of core
subjects and/or information on new and emerging health
issues. Core questions cover major topics such as health
conditions and status, health care access and utilization,
limitation of activity, immunizations, health behaviors and
lifestyle, HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitudes, health
insurance, income resources, and sociodemographic
information. Past and planned supplements include
questions on children’s mental health, chronic health
conditions, cancer, complementary and alternative
medicine, and Healthy People 2000 and 2010 program
objectives. Public use data from the NHIS are released
annually via the internet (and CD-ROM prior to 2003).
3. Indicators of Distributive Social Justice

16A Old Hickory Drive, Albany, NY 12204; phone: (518)
463-1489; email: [email protected]; homepage:
http://www.socialindicators.org.
We have developed a comprehensive system of
descriptive indicators for valued objects circulating in
social exchange and distribution. They include basic and
visible lifestyle, ascribed and achieved status, deep and
volatile orientation, and early and later socialization in
major institutional domains - family, cultural, economic,
and political. The indicators combine and transform two
or more raw variables from the General Social Survey.
They are measured by generalized (skewed) distributive
normality interpreted as distributive justice. All indicators
are differentiated by industrial, employment, residential,
and regional class as well as by upper, middle, and lower
social strata. Progress reports give overviews of current
macro-social structure in terms of levels of distributive
justice for all classes and strata as well as of its change
over the past decades. Complete information on all
indicators includes operational definitions and a procedure
of their derivation from raw data.

The Division of Science Resources Studies (SRS) at
the National Science Foundation (NSF) fulfills the
legislative mandate of the National Science Foundation
Act to...“provide a central clearinghouse for the collection,
interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and
engineering resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by other agencies of
the Federal Government...”.
To carry out this mandate, SRS manages 10 periodic
surveys as well as a variety of other data collections and
research projects. Periodic surveys focus on (1) education
and the nation’s workforce with emphasis on participation
in science and engineering fields, (2) the size and health of
the U.S. research and development (R&D) enterprise, and
(3) public attitudes toward and understanding of science
and technology. Access to much of SRS’s data is provided
through on-line databases. Data files are available to users
for many of the surveys—either as a public use data file or
as a restricted file for which a researcher must apply for a
license to gain access. SRS also supports a small program
of extramural research on both methodological and
substantive areas related to the work of SRS.
Additional information about SRS surveys and other
SRS activities may be found on the SRS web site
(www.nsf.gov/statistics).

information on health risk behaviors, preventive health
practices, and health care access primarily related to
chronic disease, as well as injury, infectious disease, and
environmental health issues. Data files and documentation
are available from the Web site from 1984 through 2004.
In recent years, there have been many exciting new
developments for the BRFSS, including local level data
(SMART BRFSS: Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is a
study of fertility, contraception, infertility, marriage,
cohabitation, and parenting among men and women 15-44
years of age. The first 5 cycles of the NSFG (in 19731995) sampled women 15-44 years of age; the 2002
NSFG is the first to include both men and women. 12,571
interviews (4,928 with men and 7,643 with women) were
conducted in-person between March of 2002 and February
of 2003. The response rate was 79 percent.
The public use data files are available at no charge on
CD-ROM and by download from the Internet. The
codebook, User’s Guide, and other documentation for the
2002 NSFG public use file are also available on the NSFG
web page. Data files from the 1973, 1976, 1982, 1988, and
1995 cycles of the NSFG are available at no charge on
CD-ROM. In addition, data from the self-administered
questionnaires used in 2002 are available to researchers by
arrangement. Finally, contextual data files for the 1995
and 2002 cycles of the NSFG can also be used through the
NCHS Research Data Center.
The NSFG web page contains PDF files of all NSFG
reports published by the National Center for Health
Statistics, and bibliographies of more than 350 published
reports and journal articles based on the NSFG.

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
Health (Add Health) is a longitudinal study of a nationally
representative sample of more than 20,000 adolescents in
grades 7-12 in the United States in 1994-95 who have
been followed through adolescence and the transition to
adulthood with three in-home interviews. Add Health was
designed to explore the causes of health status and health–
related behaviors with a special emphasis on the social
contexts in which adolescents and young adults live. Add
Health has collected information about respondents not
simply as individuals, but as members of families, student
bodies, neighborhoods and communities, and as
participants in relationships with parents, siblings, peers,
friends, and romantic partners.
Add Health used a school based design in which
schools were sampled from a national frame, an in-school
questionnaire was administered to all students in selected
229
schools; and then adolescents were sampled from school
rosters for in-home interviews. Three waves of data
collection provide the following survey components
available to the scientific community for research
purposes. Wave I (1994-95): in-school student
questionnaires (90,000 students); school administrator
questionnaires (164); in-home adolescent interviews
(20,745); and parent questionnaires (17,669). Wave II
(1996): in-home adolescent interviews (14,738); and
school administrator questionnaires (128). Wave III
(2001-02): in-home interviews with Wave I respondents
now 18 to 26 years old (15,197); and interviews with
married, cohabiting, or dating partners of Add Health
respondents (1,507).
Add Health Data are available in two forms: publicuse data set and contractual data set. For information
about study design, sample sizes, and data access, see the
Add Health web site, www.cpc.unc.edu/addhealth. Add
Health has been funded since 1994 by a program project
grant from the National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development, with co-funding from 17 other
federal agencies.

Insights into the educational practices and outcomes
of the United States are obtained by comparing them with
those of other countries. International assessment studies
provide answers to questions of how other countries
educate their children and with what success. The poster
presentation will highlight three international datasets:
Begun in 2000, the Program for International Student
Assessment (PISA) is an assessment that focuses on 15year-olds’ capabilities in reading literacy, mathematics
literacy, and science literacy. PISA is currently being
administered every three years. PISA 2000 focused on
reading literacy, PISA 2003 focused on mathematics
literacy, and in 2006, PISA will focus on science literacy;
The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study
(PIRLS) is a large international comparative study of the
reading literacy of young students. The PIRLS study
focuses on the achievement and reading experiences of
children in 35 countries in grades equivalent to fourth
grade in the United States. PIRLS 2001 was the first in a
planned 5-year cycle of international trend studies in
reading literacy.
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science
Study provides reliable and timely data on the
mathematics and science achievement of U.S. students
compared to that of students in other countries. Offered in
1995, 1999, and 2003, TIMSS provides trend data on
students’ mathematics and science achievement from an

SIMI (Site for Instructional Materials and
Information) is an initiative of ICPSR. The goal of the
SIMI initiative is to advance the effective use of data by
developing and disseminating data-related resources for
undergraduate and graduate education. Faculty, students
and staff at member institutions submit instructional
materials that they have developed for their classes which
can then be shared with other instructors at ICPSR
member schools. The materials collected by SIMI include
instructional modules, datasets and codebooks, notes to
instructors, related publications, useful websites, and any
other information that could be helpful to instructors.
SIMI materials focus on quantitative social science:
substantive and conceptual social science content,
appropriate data analysis, social science methodology, and
statistics. Faculty, staff and students at ICPSR member
schools are free to use these materials in the classroom, to
modify them to fit their own pedagogic goals, or use them
at templates to create their own modules. SIMI materials
are reviewed to ensure that they are of the highest quality
and that they are complete, workable, and have the proper
copyright clearance. This poster will highlight some of the
resources available through SIMI.

The General Social Survey (GSS) of the National
Opinion Research Center, University of Chicago, monitors
social change in the United States. Since 1972, the GSS
has gathered data on contemporary American society in
order to monitor and explain trends and constants in
attitudes, behaviors, and attributes of the adult population.
These high quality data are easily accessible to a broadbased user community, including researchers, teachers in
colleges and universities, students at undergraduate and
graduate levels, business and corporate planners,
journalists, and public officials who need to understand
the pulse of our country in their work. The 25 national
probability samples include interviews of over 46,000
respondents. Of the over 4,200 items that have been asked,
there are time trends for over 1,200 items. Two recent
developments regarding the GSS are featured—the
adoption of a new sample frame based on the 2000 Census
and a non-respondent, sub-sampling design that means
that a new weight variable must be used.

The Children & Young Adults of the NLSY79 data
focus on the development and achievement of the children
of the mothers in the NLSY79. Sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Labor, with support from NICHD, the
NLSY79 Child & Young Adult (Child-YA) dataset is an
outgrowth of the National Longitudinal Surveys of
Youth/79 Cohort. Started in 1986 and repeated biennially,
the NLSY79 Child-YA uses mother report and direct
assessment to gauge the children’s cognitive ability,
temperament, motor and social development, behavior
problems, perceived self-competence, and home
environment. Linked with the child assessment
information is an extensive series of questions addressed
to the mothers of the children about pre- and post-natal
care and the health of their children. Since 1988, children
10 and older have reported on: child-parent interaction,
231
family decision-making, school attitudes, work activities,
peer relationships, attitudes, religion, substance use, and
sexual activity. Information on the children’s school
characteristics, policies, student performance, and
experiences was gathered between 1994 and 1996. The
1994 survey round replaced, for children 15 and older, the
child assessment series with an hour-long CAPI interview
of these Young Adults on schooling, employment,
training, family experiences, health and attitudes.
The NLSY79 Young Adult component also includes
self-report on substance use, sexual activity, nonnormative behavior, computer use, and pro-social
activities. The Child/YA sample ranges in age from birth
to late twenties as of the current survey. The current
Child-Young Adult file contains all assessment scores,
questionnaire items, and constructed variables related to
the family background, fertility, pregnancy history,
childcare practices, and work experience of the mothers.
Young Adult questionnaire information from is
accompanied by a set of created variables for each survey
round. Any item from the complete record of the main
NLSY79 (mother) file can be linked by respondent ID to
the child and young adult files. The surveys are ongoing.
The Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR) at
Ohio State University issues the maternal and child data
and documentation at nominal cost on CD-ROM. Data
and documentation are also available on-line at
http://www.bls.gov/nls/nlsorder.htm. Topical research
bibliographies and reports are available at no charge. The
complete, annotated, on-line NLS bibliography can be

The Division of Cancer Control and Population
Sciences (DCCPS) is the extramural research division in
the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that mainly supports
cancer-related behavioral and social science research.
DCCPS consists of five broad program areas to which
investigators may apply for funding: the Office of Cancer
Survivorship, the Behavioral Research Program, the
Surveillance Research Program, the Applied Research
Program, and the Epidemiology and Genetics Research
Program. These programs are interested in funding
research that investigates the relationship between social
factors and various aspects of cancer-related behaviors,
such as behavioral risk, prevention, screening, treatment
decision making, responses to treatment, and survivorship
issues.
The scope of research supported by these programs
include pilot and exploratory studies, qualitative research,
secondary data analyses, descriptive studies, small and
large-scale intervention studies, and studies that are
focused on the development and testing of health behavior
theories and methods. Special areas of interest include
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that
examine sociocultural factors in health behavior and
health disparities. The current research portfolio includes
but is not limited to: the influence of social factors,
attitudes, and belief systems on health risk and healthrelated behaviors as well as on quality of care and care
delivery; cancer screening; decision making; health
communication; interventions to improve the length and
quality of survival post-diagnosis; and the burden of
cancer on family members/caregivers.
There are several funding mechanisms through which
investigators may apply to NCI which include smaller
grants for new investigators, pilot and exploratory studies,
and an investigator-initiated mechanism for more
experienced investigators. A broad range of training and
career development grants are supported at different
career levels and NCI also offers educational opportunities
at the postdoctoral level. In addition, a number of special
training opportunities for minority scientists are available.

http://lamp.opr.princeton.edu/.
Founded in 1982, the Mexican Migration Project
(MMP) has annually administered ethnosurveys to
randomly sampled households in various communities in
Mexico since 1987. In 1998, its sister project, the Latin
American Migration Project (LAMP), was born with
232
surveys in Puerto Rico. For both projects, each community
yields approximately 200 surveyed households in the
home country (fewer in some LAMP countries), as well as
10 to 20 households of community members living in the
U.S. who are identified through snowball sampling.
Responses are converted to electronic format and
compiled to form five unique data sets. The PERS file
contains general socioeconomic information for each
household member (as well as those children of the head
of household who no longer live at home), including basic
measures of domestic and international migration. MIG
file contains detailed border-crossing characteristics,
measures of migratory experience of family of origin,
extended family and friends, and the social and economic
characteristics of the last U.S. trip for each head of
household. The HOUSE file contains measures of
household composition and amenities, and data of
household holdings: businesses, land, property, vehicles
and livestock. Finally, the LIFE and SPOUSE files are
labor histories for the head of household (LIFE) and
his/her spouse (SPOUSE) in which each record represents
a person-year detailing labor force participation,
family/household formation, and cumulative U.S.
experience.
In addition to the core database, supplemental data,
useful for both cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis,
are gathered at aggregate levels. At the community level,
measures of infrastructure, social resources, public
services, labor force participation, education, land use and
(in the case of Mexico) ejido characteristics are compiled.
Labor market-specific data corresponding to U.S.
destinations include economic indicators, immigration
measures and population counts. In addition, the MMP
offers border-patrol statistics, Mexico-U.S. finance and
trade measures, and Mexican labor force indicators.
Currently, the MMP database contains 93
communities, while the LAMP includes multiple
communities surveyed in Puerto Rico, the Dominican
Republic, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay,
Guatemala, and Haiti. All data files, as well as qualitative
materials (including oral histories of migrants and a
retablo gallery) are accessible for download from the
MMP and the LAMP websites:

The Joint Canada United States Survey of Health
(JCUSH) was a collaborative project undertaken by
Statistics Canada (STC) and the U.S. National Center for
Health Statistics, a center of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The project was designed to meet
three objectives: 1) develop, implement, and document a
collaboration between two national statistical offices; 2)
enhance comparability between the two countries’
ongoing national surveys and 3) produce highly
comparable health data on the Canadian and American
populations. The JCUSH was a one time telephone survey
with a sample of 3505 Canadian residents and 5,183 U. S.
residents. Data on selected health topics were collected
from one adult 18 years of age and older living in private
dwellings. The data were collected from November 2002March 2003 and the microdata files were released June 2,
2004 and are available on the NCHS and Statistics Canada
websites. A user’s guide, questionnaires in English,
French and Spanish and an analytic highlights report are
also available on the website. The poster session will
present detail on the design of the survey and features of
the data, present some comparable findings, and provide
suggestions for other possible analyses using the data.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is the U.S.
Census Bureau’s new approach for collecting accurate and
timely socioeconomic and housing information about our
233
nation and its states, cities, and communities. As part of
the Census Bureau’s plan to re-engineer the decennial
census, the American Community Survey will replace the
long form in 2010. It will give federal, state, and local
government officials, as well as the profit and nonprofit
sectors, data every year to evaluate programs, make
decisions, and chart the future.
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly
employment and population survey jointly sponsored by
the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It provides data for national and staterepresentative estimates of demographic and labor market
information. Periodic supplements provide information on
various other topics.

The Survey of Income and Program Participation
(SIPP) is a longitudinal survey of households designed to
provide high quality, nationally representative data to
examine short term changes in income and program
participation and interactions between transfer programs,
labor force participation, and household and family
composition.
The Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces
estimates for years since the last decennial census, as well
as past decades. Existing data series such as births, deaths,
Federal tax returns, Medicare enrollment, and migration
are used to update the decennial census counts. PEP
estimates are used in Federal funding allocations, in
setting the levels of national surveys, and in monitoring
recent demographic changes.Population projections are
estimates for future dates and illustrate plausible courses
of future population change based on assumptions about
future births, deaths, international migration, and state-tostate migration. The Census Bureau produces population
projections for the nation and for states.

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
collects and publishes information on a wide variety of
demographic and health characteristics reported on the
birth certificate for all births occurring in the United
States. Information from birth certificates registered in the
health departments of all states, New York City, the
District of Columbia, and the territories, is provided to
NCHS through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program.
Data are collected continuously. NCHS publishes
preliminary and final data reports annually. Public-use
data files are available beginning with the 1968 data year;
a compressed data file is available on CD-ROMs for data
years 1990-2002. A variety of special reports is available
on specific topics, including most recently, rates of
reproduction, pregnancy rates, state-specific demographic
measures, and revised birth and fertility rates for the
1990s. Demographic characteristics available in the
natality file include age, race, Hispanic origin, education,
birthplace, marital status, residence, live-birth order, sex,
and month and day of birth. Health information includes
month prenatal care began, number of prenatal visits,
medical risk factors, tobacco use, obstetric procedures,
attendant at birth, place of delivery, method of delivery,
complications of labor and/or delivery, period of
gestation, birth weight, Apgar score, abnormal conditions
of the newborn, congenital anomalies, and plurality.
Currently underway is implementation of the 2003
revision of the birth certificate. The revised certificate
collects new data on fertility therapy (drugs and ART
separately), maternal infections during pregnancy,
expanded information on tobacco use, receipt of WIC
food during pregnancy, prepregnancy weight and height as
well as weight at delivery, principal source of payment for
the delivery, and breastfeeding, among other topics. Vital
statistics systems are being re-engineered to improve data
quality and timeliness through collection of data through

With thirty-three waves of data, the Panel Study on
Income Dynamics (PSID) is a longitudinal survey of a
representative ample of US man, women, and children and
the families in which they reside. Study content includes
employment, retirement, income, expenditures, wealth,
pensions, health, insurance, housing, marital and fertility
behavior, mental health, and philanthropy. From 5,000
families in 1968, the study now includes nearly 8,000
families and more than 60,000 individuals as of 2003.
The coverage of the PSID was expanded in 1997 with
the addition of an immigrant refresher sample. A Child
Development Supplement (CDS) was implemented in
1997 covering children in PSID families from birth
through age 12, and then again in 2002 the same children
who were then aged 5-18.
All 33 waves of data and documentation are available
to Internet users worldwide
(http://www.psidonline.isr.umich.edu). The newly
upgrades PSID Data Center is a user-friendly interface
that allows the easy creation of customized data files and
codebooks in a variety of formats.
Primary sponsors of the PSID include the National
Science Foundation, the National Institute on Aging, and
the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development. Supplements in 2001 and 2003 were
received by the Indiana University Center on
Philanthropy.

The Child Development Supplement is one research
component of the PSID, a longitudinal Study of a
representative sample of US individuals and the families
in which they reside. Since 1968, the PSID has collected
data on family composition changes, housing and food
expenditures, marriage and fertility histories, employment,
income and wealth, time use, health, and more. In 1997,
the PSID supplemented its core data collection with
additional information on PSID parents and their 0-12
year-old children. Five years later, the same children and
adolescents (then aged 5-18) whose families remained
active in the PSID panel as of 2001 were interviewed a
second time.
Within the context of family, neighborhood, and
school environments, CDS studies a broad array of
developmental outcomes including health, emotional wellbeing, academic achievement, and social relationships
with family and peers. The CDS survey design is complex
relying on time diary methodology, cognitive assessments,
height and weight measurements, and computer-assisted
personal self-interviews. Data are collected from multiple
family members and the schools that the youth attend.
Data and documentation are available on the Internet
free-of-charge. The PSID-CDS Data Center is a userfriendly interface that allows the easy creation of

The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) by the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is the
nation’s largest sample survey of the characteristics and
conditions of America’s elementary and secondary
schools, principles, teachers, and library media centers.
The 1999-2000 SASS, with data from over 120,000
respondents, provides national and state-representative
estimates for public schools and affiliation-reliable
estimates for private schools. This administration of the
Survey also includes data from all public charter schools
in operation during the 1998-1999 school year.
The 2000-01 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) is
given to a sample of teachers who responded to the SASS
in the previous year. The purpose of the survey is to
determine how many teachers remained at the same
school, moved to a new school, or left the teaching
profession, what the characteristics of these teachers are,
and what their reasons were for moving to a different
school or leaving teaching.

The Question Bank web site is an online tool
developed for social survey researchers who wish to use
the questionnaires from large-scale United Kingdom
social surveys. Initially funded by the ESRC in 1995, the
Qb has grown into a well-used and large resource. The
Question bank is based in the UK, but is a truly unique
resource that can be of use to social researchers
everywhere. Most survey questionnaires are held in the
form of PDF files. Many recent CAPI surveys are based
upon the program BLAISE, and display the questionnaire
in modified coded format. The Question Bank does not
itself hold data, which is accessible through the UK Data
Archive at the University of Essex. The Question Bank is
intended as a tool for survey researchers designing
questionnaires, for secondary analysts in search of the
original questionnaires used in a survey, and more
generally for students of survey methods. It is gradually
building up commentary material on the measurement of
21 social and socioeconomic variables, related to the
surveys, which are held in the QB. Its longer-term
objective is to try to achieve improvements in survey
measurement. The Question Bank website is available to
Internet browsers worldwide. The Question Bank is
supported by a UK academic advisory board, which
provides input on the commentary material that is put up
on the site.

The Sociology Program at the National Science
Foundation (NSF) supports research on human social
organization, demography, and processes of individual
and institutional change. The Program encourages
theoretically focused empirical investigations aimed at
improving the explanation of fundamental social
processes. Included is research on organizations and
organizational behavior, population dynamics, social
movements, social groups, labor force participation,
237
stratification and mobility, family, social networks,
socialization, gender roles, and the sociology of science
and technology. The Sociology Program resides in NSF’s
Division of Social and Economic Sciences. The Division
supports disciplinary and multidisciplinary research, data
collection, measurement, and methodological research. Its
goal is to develop basic scientific knowledge of social,
behavioral, and economic systems, organizations and
institutions, and human interaction and decision-making.
It also provides support for research conferences, doctoral
dissertation research, international group travel, and data
resource development.
Fellowships to students at U.S. universities researching
and writing doctoral dissertations on international peace
and conflict. The Grant Program provides financial
support for research, education, training, and the
dissemination of information on international peace and
conflict resolution to grantees based around the world.
Unsolicited grants are provided for any topics that fall
within the Institute’s broad mandate. Solicited Grants are
awarded for special priority topics identified in advance
by the Institute. For more information about these
programs and for application materials, please visit the
Institute’s website at <www.usip.org/gf.html>.

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent,
nonpartisan federal institution created by Congress to
promote the prevention, management, and peaceful
resolution of international conflicts. Established in 1984,
the Institute meets its congressional mandate through an
array of programs, including research grants, fellowships,
professional training, education programs from high
school through graduate school, conferences and
workshops, library services, and publications. The
Institute’s Board of Directors is appointed by the President
of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. USIP
funds projects related to preventive diplomacy, ethnic and
regional conflicts, peacekeeping and peace operations,
peace settlements, democratization and the rule of law,
negotiation, mediation and conflict management,
nonviolent social movements, U.S. foreign policy in the
21st century, and related topics. The Institute is especially
interested in topics addressing problems of the Muslim
world, post-war reconstruction and reconciliation in Iraq
and elsewhere, and responses to terrorism and political
violence. Projects which demonstrate relevance to current
policy debates will be highly competitive.
The Institute sponsors several funding programs of
interest to sociologists. The Jennings Randolph Program
for International Peace awards Senior Fellowships (in
residence) to enable outstanding scholars, policymakers,
journalists, and other professionals to conduct research on
important issues concerning international conflict and
peace. The Jennings Randolph Fellowship Program also
awards non-resident Peace Scholar Dissertation

The American Sociological Association (ASA)
provides funding for sociologists through two small grants
programs and several fellowships programs. The ASA and
the National Science Foundation jointly support the Fund
for the Advancement of the Discipline (FAD). The goal of
FAD is to nurture the development of scientific
knowledge by funding ground breaking research
initiatives and other important scientific research
activities. FAD provides grant support (up to $5,000) for
substantive and methodological breakthroughs that can
advance knowledge and provide leverage for acquisition
of additional research funds. Awards are limited to
individuals with PhD degrees or the equivalent.
ASA makes awards (up to $1000) through its
Teaching Endowment Small Grants Program to support
projects that extend the quality of teaching in the United
States and Canada. Individuals, departments, and a
program or a committee of a state or regional association
are eligible to apply.
Through its Sydney S. Spivack Program in Applied
Social Research and Social Policy, ASA supports a
Congressional Fellowship, Community Action Research
Fellowships, and a Mass Media Fellowship. The ASA
Congressional Fellowship provides a PhD level
sociologist with in-depth experience as a staff member of
a Congressional Committee or in a Congressional Office
or agency. The Community Action Research Fellowships
238
provide support up to $2500 for sociological work with
community organizations, local public interest groups, or
community action projects.

Through its Minority Fellowship Program (MFP), the
American Sociological Association (ASA) supports the
development and training of minority sociologists in
mental health. Funded by a grant from the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the MFP seeks to
attract talented minority students interested in mental
health issues and to facilitate their placement, work, and
success in an appropriate graduate program. In addition to
providing financial support, the MFP works with Fellows
and their faculty advisors at their home departments to
help prepare Fellows in the sociology of mental health.
Also, the MFP conducts symposia sessions at scholarly
meetings, offers travel support to scientific conferences,
and undertakes other initiatives that foster the
development of formal and informal training for Fellows.
32. Web-Based Data Resources-Introduction to
Data Cubes
National Consortium on Violence Research (NCOVR)
Presenter: Jacqueline Cohen, Carnegie Mellon University,
Heinz School, Pittsburgh, PA 15213; phone: (412) 2683629; fax: (412) 268-2175; [email protected]
With support from the National Science Foundation,
the Data Center of the National Consortium on Violence
Research (NCOVR) at Carnegie Mellon University
provides web access to a number of data collections
relating to violent offending and victimization. Currently
the collection includes: UCR police agency data on
offenses and arrests for years since 1980, SHR incidentbased reports of homicides since 1980, NIBRS incidentbased reports since 1997, NCVS national victimization
survey data since 1973, and Census data for 1980 and
1990 from the STF3A (“long form”) and STF1A (“short
form”) datasets for summary levels from census block
groups to national totals.
While violent offending has been a substantive focus
of NCOVR, understanding the shared and distinctive
features of violence often involves comparisons between
violent and non-violent behaviors. So NCOVR data
resources include the full range of offending types
available in each data collection. Two web-based tools
application is a menu?are available for accessing the data.
Oracle’s Discoverer driven query tool that allows users to
customize an extract file to include user-selected variables
and impose conditions on desired records. Cognos
Powerplay provides flexible access to data “cubes”. Users
can manipulate these cubes to aggregate or disaggregate
data and focus on particular areas of interest. Query
capabilities are also available for extracting variables and
records from the underlying data set. Users only need an
internet connection and standard browser to access the
data with either tool. Poster session will introduce
potential users to this resource.
