Subject: SSSP session on Democratic Party

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
