Call for papers:

The Sociology of Education Association is holding its annual
conference on February 21-23, 1997, in Monterey, California.  The
theme is "Stratification of Educational Opportunities in an Era of
Waning Affirmative Action." Keynote speakers include Troy Duster of
the University of California at Berkeley and Gary Orfield of Harvard
University.  We invite presentations that will advance research in the
sociology of education, particularly with respect to the social
effects of changes in the conceptualization and implementation of
affirmative action in educational institutions.  We are interested in
issues of faculty as well as student stratification, at the primary
and secondary as well as college and university levels.  We especially
welcome papers that address both structural and institutional factors
in the stratification of educational opportunities.  Deadline for
abstract submissions is September 15, 1996.  Contact: Melissa Herman,
