On behalf of the committee, it is my task to collect documentation of hate/bias incidents on campuses from sociologists across the country. We are interested in gaining an understanding of the types of incidents as well as the way that those situations were resolved on campuses, if they received administrative or other forms of campus attention. The committee is also collecting materials on official college procedures for dealing with hate/bias incidents. I would really appreciate hearing from those of you who know of such incidents as we try to gain a greater understanding of these situations. Thanks in advance for your insights. Sincerely, Stephanie Shanks-Meile Associate Professor of Sociology Indiana University Northwest 3400 Broadway Gary, IN 46408 219-980-6787 From SocSteph@aol.com Sat Jan 24 07:21:18 1998 Received: from imo12.mx.aol.com (imo12.mx.aol.com [198.81.19.166]) by csf.Colorado.EDU (8.8.4/8.8.4/CNS-4.1p-nh) with ESMTP id HAA07766; Sat, 24 Jan 1998 07:21:15 -0700 (MST) From: SocSteph Message-ID: <23e103c2.34c9f8d1@aol.com> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 09:21:03 EST To: psn@csf.colorado.edu, revs@csf.colorado.edu Subject: Call for Participants for ASA Sessions and Section Roundtables Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Inet_Mail_Out (IMOv11) Hi Fellow Progressives and Marxists: I want to encourage your participation in two sessions and the roundtables that I am organizing for the ASA meetings in San Francisco. As co-Chair of the ASA Standing Committee on Hate/Bias Incidents on College Campuses, I am the co-organizer of a session on Hate Crimes Research. I would welcome submissions from some lefties (titles and abstracts will be considered). If we (Betty Dobratz of Iowa State University) and I receive enough papers, we will request a second session, so please give me some more papers. I am also co-organizing a session that Jean Belkir gave to the Marxist section as co- sponsored on the relevance of Marxism to Race, Class and Gender. Lastly, I am organizing the section roundtables. We need many more as I have only received five at this point. Come on folks..... please chip in to make this an exciting program full of controversial discussions that other sections could not even begin to conceptualize!!!!! Anyway, hope to hear from you really soon!!!!! For Justice-- Stephanie Shanks-Meile Associate Professor of Sociology Indiana University Northwest 3400 Broadway Gary, IN 46408 219-980-6787
