As co-Chair of the ASA Standing Committee on Hate/Bias Incidents on College Campuses, I am the co-organizer of a session on Hate Crimes Research. I would welcome submissions from some lefties (titles and abstracts will be considered). If we (Betty Dobratz of Iowa State University) and I receive enough papers, we will request a second session, so please give me some more papers. I am also co-organizing a session that Jean Belkir gave to the Marxist section as co- sponsored on the relevance of Marxism to Race, Class and Gender. Lastly, I am organizing the section roundtables. We need many more as I have only received five at this point. Come on folks..... please chip in to make this an exciting program full of controversial discussions that other sections could not even begin to conceptualize!!!!! Anyway, hope to hear from you really soon!!!!! For Justice-- Stephanie Shanks-Meile Associate Professor of Sociology Indiana University Northwest 3400 Broadway Gary, IN 46408 219-980-6787
