Please feel free to post this to other sociology lists:
I'm organizing a session at the SSSP (Society for the Study of Social
Problems) conference in Washington, D.C. The SSSP has a day of sessions before
ASA starts and then overlaps for two days, usually within walking distance of
the ASA hotels.
The title of the session is:"Democratic Party: Party of the Poor or
Party of Poverty?" The theme is to explore the ways that the
Democratic Party has maintained anti-working class policies. (I figure that it's
not that enlightening to explore the ways that the Republican party has
maintained anti-working class policies....)
But, we could use a couple of more papers. So if anyone reading this would
like to submit something for that session, please send me an e-mail spectors@netnitco.net and send a copy to
spector@calumet.purdue.edu
It is not necessary to send a polished, finished paper. We are not
necessarily looking for a paper with tons of empirical research. On the other
hand, the presenter should avoid the other extreme of just giving some
off-the-cuff "opinions" about the state of Democratic Party
politics.
If you are interested in possibly participating, please contact me right
away and give me a general idea of your interests.
Thanks,
Alan Spector
