Joint membership in OOW p uts medical sociologists in touch with those doing related work in other contex ts and provides a newsletter with articles bound to be of interest (like Willia m Kornblum's recent discussion, "Looking Again at Race in the Workplace" and E. M. Beck's "The Job Interview: A Study in Terror"). OOW awards include the Web er Award for an outstanding article or book published over the past three years and the James A. Thompson Award for an outstanding graduate student paper. Se ction sessions for the Toronto meetings include: "Gendered Workplaces and Labo r Markets" (co-sponsored with the Sex and Gender section), "New Forms of Work a nd Employment Relations, " "Organizational Innovation and Change," and "Profess ions in a Corporate Economy," each of which would seem to be a natural for medi cal sociological submissions. The OOW program chair is Jennifer Glass at Univ. of Iowa (jglass@vaxa.weeg.uiowa.edu). You can visit the OOW home page at www.p rinceton.edu/_orgoccwk I would be glad to provide further information or to forward announcements to the OOW newsletter.
