Subject: ASA meetings
(this is the complete list}
--Three special sessions featuring prominent Latin American scholars were approved by the 1995 Program Committee for the ASA meetings in Washington DC. Because of their strong connection to the PEWS section by virtue of participants and themes, these panels were scheduled around the regular PEWS sessions. I hope PEWS members will make an effort to attend one or more (especially since Saturday is the first day of the meetings). As for the 1993 meetings in Miami, these sessions were organized by the Ad Hoc Committee for Latin American and Caribbean Sociology.
