For all WSNers attending the ASA annual meeting in San Francisco later this
month, the following session should be of substantial interest. It focuses
on the outcomes of a series of world regional workshops during 1996-97
devoted to the current state and future agendas of sociology as practiced
around the planet. Hope to see you there!
