Top Ten Reasons to Attend the 2012 ESS Annual Meeting
FEB 23-26, 2012
BROADWAY MILLENNIUM HOTEL, NYC
- Hear Sudhir Venkatesh deliver the Robin Williams Lecture on youth gangs and the urban order. Attend a mini conference on social movements; community colleges; women in science; reproduction; military sociology; race, housing and education; or urban ethnography.
- Attend an Author Meets Critics session and see whether new books by Andrew Cherlin on the Marriage Go-Round, by Lynn Haney on Offending Women and Kim Price-Glynn on strip clubs, by Jonathan Wynn on New York tour guides and Gregory Snyder on New York underground graffiti, by Mary Romero on The Maid’s Daughter and Nazli Kibria on Muslims in Motion get panned or praised (and why).
- Find out who won the Rose Laub Coser Award and the Candace Rogers Award and the Mirra Komarovsky award. Find out what the Rose Laub Coser Award and the Candace Rogers Award and the Mirra Komarovsky award are for.
- If you live on the East coast, New York’s a lot closer than Denver.
- With more than 300 sessions and 1000 papers, if you can’t find something you’re interested in, you’re probably in the wrong discipline. If you don’t believe it, click here!

- Michelle LaMont on the social production of knowledge

- Judith Gerson, Janet Jacobs, and Shawn McGuffey on trauma
- Patty Ewick, James Jasper, Francesca Pollette and Marc Steinberg on voice in social movements
- Kathryn Edin and Nicole Marwell on welfare

- Whew!
- There are 6879 restaurants in New York (and that’s not counting Brooklyn or Queens.) That’s one restaurant for every 223 residents of Manhattan. And, since some of the restaurants are very big and not everybody in New York eats out every night, there’s plenty of space for out of towners.
- Attend a thematic session. Think of five different ways to read the phrase, "Storied Lives." Find out what Narrative Positivism is. Hear Tales from the Field and Tales from the (Wall) Street. See if anyone gets out alive from Dianne Vaughn’s session on Tales from the Darkside or if anybody speaks at Jennifer Pierce’s session on Narrative Silences. Find out if anybody takes meeting themes seriously.
- There are no slot machines, black jack tables or go-go dancers in the lobby of the Millennium Hilton.
- See old friends. Make new ones.
- Get tickets to the Letterman Show and hear a top ten list written by a professional comedian.
