Culture and Society Workshop at UCSD

Schedule 2009-2010, 12:30-1:50, SSB101

The Culture and Society Workshop is a forum for presenting work in progress broadly related to cultural sociology. Presenters are typically a mix of UCSD graduate students, UCSD faculty and faculty from other institutions in the U.S. We are informal, so bring your lunch. The workshop is organized by Amy Binder, Mary Blair-Loy, John H. Evans, Tom Medvetz and Kwai Ng.

Papers are not intended for general circulation, and will be removed from this site immediately after the meeting at which they are discussed. Whenever possible, papers for the next meeting will be posted in PDF format approximately one week before the meeting. Schedules for previous years can be found here
