2005 - Midwest Student Sociology Conference CALL FOR PARTICIPATION You are cordially invited to attend, and to encourage students to submit papers to, the 2005 Midwest Student Sociology Conference, to be held April 1-2, at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana. The conference offers undergraduate students in sociology and anthropology the opportunity to present papers based on original research in a supportive and non-threatening setting. Papers from related fields, provided they are sociologically or anthropologically oriented, are also welcome. Check-in for this conference will begin at 4:00 p.m. The conference will begin on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. with a keynote "Simkin" address by Dr. Laura Nader. Dr. Nader is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research and teaching include such areas as the comparative ethnography of law and dispute resolution and the anthropology of professional mindsets in the Middle East, Mexico, Latin America and the contemporary United States. Dr. Nader is the author of The Life of the Law: Anthropological Projects (2002), and Naked Science—Anthropological Inquiry into Boundaries, Power, and Knowledge (1996).
