Job: I retired from the University of Western Ontario in 2001 [mandatory retirement at age 65], and relocated to Victoria, British Columbia. I am Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the University of Victoria, and an associate of the fledgling Population Studies Group there. Also, I am a Research Affiliate of the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, University of Washington, Seattle. Recent work has centered on methodological issues relating to the relations between theory and computer modelling in demography and other social sciences. At the IUUSP/Tours meetings, I chaired a session on New Approaches to Demographic Theory, and presented a paper on ‘Computer simulation and statistical modelling: rivals or complements’ in a session on The Epistemology of Demography, organised by Daniel Courgeau. I continue a collaboration with Rajulton Fernando and Zenaida Ravanera of UWO, studying the life course of Canadians. Future research includes a project with Zheng Wu [U-Vic] on models and projections of cohabitation.
Recent accomplishments: Surviving over 45 years as a demographer! Personal news: Keeping up with six grandchildren and studying rhythm guitar as applied to jazz, swing, and the American pop-standard song. Ph.D. Dissertation: Internal Migration in Venezuela – A Methodological Study 1962

Job: I retired from Rice University in 2003, and now have a consulting practice specializing in minority voting rights. Last year, in collaboration with three junior colleagues in the Rice history department, I wrote a report on ballot security programs over the past half century, and their tendency under certain conditions to depress the minority vote. The report was distributed by the Center for Voting Rights and Protection, a 501(c)3 in Washington. Currently, as a member of the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act, I am writing a report on the status of minority voting rights, in preparation for congressional hearings next year on re-authorization of the non-permanent features of the Act in 2007. For more on the commission, see HYPERLINK "http://www.votingrightsact.org/" http://www.votingrightsact.org/ Personal News: Two sons who hang out in New York and Houston, respectively. Five cats.

Job: York University has 55,000 students in 10 faculties on four campuses. We have 192,000 alumni all around the world. We are the third largest university in Canada and yet we were founded only in 1959. So we are young, growing, vibrant, interdisciplinary and research oriented. In the past eight years we have added eight buildings to our largest campus, raised the academic entry standard of our students, and begun a great many academic programs and initiatives. I am now in the 8th year of a ten year term as President and will retire in 2007. At that point, I'll get on with my major research project(with two former colleagues from the University of Toronto) which is a study of women's economic lives and involves newly released data from over 100 years of Canadian censuses. Recent accomplishments: Woman of Distinction Award from the YWCA,and for the past three years selected as one of the 100 most powerful women in Canada. Personal news: I also serve as a director of a number of voluntary associations as well as Manulife Financial(owner of John Hancock in the USA) and one of the oldest property and casualty insurers in Canada, The Gore Mutual founded in 1836.

Having done this for a number of years now, I have been fortunate to have been involved in many of thye most interesting and high profile trials of the past 20 years including the O J Simpson trial, the Oklahoma bombing trial, and the "nanny" case in Massachusetts. Its a great vocation that draws on my empirical research skills as well as research in the areas of persuasion and communication. Recent accomplishments: I started RandD Strategic solutions four years ago with three other partners. There are now 30 of us, and we have a national practice. Personal news: I am married and have two boys, one in middle school and one in high school. Ph.D. Dissertation: Deviance and Social Isolation: The Case of the Falsely Accused

Job: I am currently a professor of communication at Stanford University, with appointments by courtesy in computer science and sociology. I direct the CHIMe (Communication between Humans and Interactive Media) Lab at Stanford University (chime.stanford.edu). The vision of the lab is: To rapidly advance theory, design, and assessment of how individuals and groups behave, feel, and think when interacting with media, research must be general, psychologically informed, quantitatively grounded, complimentary to partners, and near-term informed. The CHIMe lab consists of four large project domains: CARSITE (Communication with Automobiles: Research on Safety, Information Technology, and Enjoyment), SMARTI (Source, Medium, and Receiver Technologies – Intelligent), SPACE (Social and Psychological Aspects of Computing Environments), and VoiLa (Voices and Language). The projects are all grounded in the Computers Are Social Actors (CASA) paradigm: Individual’s interaction with interactive media is fundamentally social. I am also co-Director of the Kozmetsky Global Collaboratory, whose mission is to accelerate venture creation in developing countries. I do a great deal of consulting on the design of interfaces, including call centers, cars, intelligent workspaces, etc. Recent accomplishments: My (with Brave) new book, “Wired for Speech: How Voice Activates and Advances the Human-Computer Relationship” has just been published by MIT Press. A paper I wrote (Nass, C. & Moon, Y. (2000). Machines and mindlessness: Social responses to computers. Journal of Social Issues, 56(1), 81-103) has just become a top 1% cited paper. I’ve recently derived a statistic for detecting insufficiently-shuffled decks of cards. Personal news: I have a son, Matthew, who is 13. He is a prodigy in designing psychological experiments (which is a very odd thing to be a prodigy in).

Job: At Boston College, I devote 25% of my time to teaching (one course per year) and 75% to research. My first book (Real Indians: Identity and the Survival of Native America, University of California, 2003) examined issues of racial/ethnic identity in American Indian communities and proposed a new model for research in Native American Studies. Current work focuses on the medical communication needs of American Indian elders; recent articles appear in Social Science and Medicine, Journal of Aging and Health, Journal of General Internal Medicine, and Journal of Applied Gerontology. A new book project aims to create a portrait of one an urban American Indian community through the life stories of its members. Recent accomplishments: I was promoted to associate professor with tenure in the Department of Sociology at Boston College in 2004. I accepted a simultaneous faculty appointment at the Native Elder Research Center at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 2005. I serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Native Aging and Health. I serve on the planning committee for the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians. Since 2003, I have received grants from the National Institute on Aging in excess of $750,000. This funding supports health research that I carry out in consultation with the Cherokee Nation at tribally operated clinics in southeastern Oklahoma. The most recent funded project is described below: Project Title: Health Communication with American Indian Elders Abstract: The goal of this project is, for the first time, to use an objective measurement instrument to investigate patterns of communication characterizing interactions between American Indian elder patients and their health care providers. Consistent with recent models for medical communication, the project will investigate whether providers display bias by varying their communicative behavior according to their American Indian patients' cultural characteristics, and if American Indian patients (or patient subgroups) use distinctive communication norms. The project will then seek to relate observed patterns in patient and provider communication to patients' satisfaction and providers' "clinical uncertainty." Finally, the project will use the resulting information to design and target a health intervention aimed at improving medical communication with American Indian elder patients, with special attention to patient subgroups that may have special needs. The research plan involves extending a pilot study that collected data from both health care providers and patients at one Cherokee Nation tribal health clinic in the summer of 2001. Proposed data collection will occur at two additional tribal clinics. Personal news: I am married to Dr. Xavier Lopez.

Job: I've been a professor at The College of New Jersey (that other College of New Jersey -- formerly "Trenton State College") since 1996, where I have a wonderful set of department and college colleagues, and get to teach a variety of courses to bright and hard-working NJ students. It's been a great place to work. For my first six years, I chaired the department. Now, I'm enjoying teaching a rotating set of courses in religion ("Religion and American Culture" and "American Christianity: From Scopes to September 11th"), education ("Education and American Culture"), culture ("American Cultural Critics: Saints or Scoundrels?"), methods ("Quantitative Research Methods" and "Qualitative Interviewing and Analysis"), and of course, introductory sociology and senior seminar. I participate in two interdisciplinary programs -- one on religious studies and the other on "USA Studies" (which takes a bottom up and outside in approach to the study of US Culture). Professionally, I have been active in the Eastern Sociological Society, just finished a co-authored article for the Stanford Law Review (May 2005), and I'm presently under contract with University of Chicago Press for my book, The First Year Out: Understanding American Teens During the First Year after High School. It's going to be part of Alan Wolfe's Morality and Society Series, so I'm going a half-dozen or so other Princeton Sociology alums who published in this series. I think the book will come out in late 2006 or early 2007. If you are teaching an intro course, a culture course, or a youth and society course, you might want to consider it as a possible text! Recent accomplishments: I think the best part of being a professor is sabbatical! I received a sabbatical grant from the Louisville Institute in 2003-2004, and can't wait for my next sabbatical! That year helped me complete my article in Law and Social Inquiry (Dec 2004), which also got me quoted in the NY Times, LA Times, and Chronicle of Higher Education (which is everyday stuff for many of you at research universities, but for us at teaching institutions -- it is a big deal). During my sabbatical I also learned how to write qualitative research (which was a tough transition for this number-cruncher), and that eventually led to the book contract with Chicago. Beyond these things, I'm just glad I ducked when my institution went looking for a new dean (which is the downside to doing a good job as a department chair -- consider yourself warned) ... I'm much happier being a professor than a full-time administrator. Personal news: Life has been good. I got married a few months before my general exams at Princeton (in 1991), and besides having a wonderful wife, we began the adventure of parenting in 1997 (we now have two precocious kids, ages 8 and 5). I've learned how to do a host of home improvements, from kitchen renovations to paving stone patios to adding windows, doors, and even rooms. I enjoy doing home improvements, because they are not like anything in my day job: they have a defined start, a defined end, and a visible result. We've also gotten involved in the local community, through the kid's sports (I'm a soccer dad, yes), and through involvement with a host of wonderful folks in a local congregation. Strong community ties are indeed a great source of meaning and satisfaction.

Professionally, I have been active in the Eastern Sociological Society, just finished a co-authored article for the Stanford Law Review (May 2005), and I'm presently under contract with University of Chicago Press for my book, The First Year Out: Understanding American Teens During the First Year after High School. It's going to be part of Alan Wolfe's Morality and Society Series, so I'm going a half-dozen or so other Princeton Sociology alums who published in this series. I think the book will come out in late 2006 or early 2007. If you are teaching an intro course, a culture course, or a youth and society course, you might want to consider it as a possible text! Recent accomplishments: I think the best part of being a professor is sabbatical! I received a sabbatical grant from the Louisville Institute in 2003-2004, and can't wait for my next sabbatical! That year helped me complete my article in Law and Social Inquiry (Dec 2004), which also got me quoted in the NY Times, LA Times, and Chronicle of Higher Education (which is everyday stuff for many of you at research universities, but for us at teaching institutions -- it is a big deal). During my sabbatical I also learned how to write qualitative research (which was a tough transition for this number-cruncher), and that eventually led to the book contract with Chicago. Beyond these things, I'm just glad I ducked when my institution went looking for a new dean (which is the downside to doing a good job as a department chair -- consider yourself warned) ... I'm much happier being a professor than a full-time administrator. Personal news: Life has been good. I got married a few months before my general exams at Princeton (in 1991), and besides having a wonderful wife, we began the adventure of parenting in 1997 (we now have two precocious kids, ages 8 and 5). I've learned how to do a host of home improvements, from kitchen renovations to paving stone patios to adding windows, doors, and even rooms. I enjoy doing home improvements, because they are not like anything in my day job: they have a defined start, a defined end, and a visible result. We've also gotten involved in the local community, through the kid's sports (I'm a soccer dad, yes), and through involvement with a host of wonderful folks in a local congregation. Strong community ties are indeed a great source of meaning and satisfaction.

Assitant Professor
UCLA Department of Sociology
264 Haines Hall
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551
Job: My research investigates contested public debates as a prism to examine how culture shapes and is shaped by institutional dynamics, including the mass media, mobilization of social movements, and pre-existing cultural legacies. My research has focused on two main topics: sexual harassment and obesity. As issues that concern the body, both sexual harassment and obesity are widely considered natural. Yet, in my work, I show how attitudes and practices regarding both topics have been socially constructed. In the case of sexual harassment, I demonstrate that culture is embedded in institutional settings and that cultural understandings, legal legacies, media practices, and corporate interests dynamically intersect to shape different definitions and practices concerning sexual harassment. In my research on obesity, I similarly show that moral meanings of body weight, medical science, media practices, and corporate interests shape framing contests over obesity as a public health crisis. Both research projects examine how cultural meaning operates as a form of power and how subordinate groups can sometimes redefine cultural meaning in ways that increase their control. My work is empirically grounded, employing multiple methods, including in-depth interviews, ethnography, media analysis, legal analysis, and statistical analysis.

In a project with Yves Tiberghien (PoliSci, UBC) I'm examining the increasing concordance in foreign policy decisions between Canada, the EU, and Japan. In addition, I'm continuing work with Frank Dobbin on changes in U.S. corporations' organizational structure. Finally, I'm dreaming of new research on Mongolia's education system (higher and secondary), and on the impact of environmental regulations on producers' attitudes toward common goods in the fishery industries in Alaska, British Columbia and Hokkaido as well as in the grasslands of Mongolia and the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China.

Job: I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at NYU. Right now I'm working primarily on four projects. First, I am in the process of writing a book based on my dissertation. Second, I'm conducting comparative research on the ethnic classification systems that censuses around the world utilize. Third, in collaboration with colleagues at Yale University, I am analyzing data on social desirability effects on survey measures of racial conceptualization. Finally, I'm working with NYU colleagues to develop a project on immigrant youth's understandings of racial difference and membership. Recent accomplishments: My doctoral thesis, "The Nature of Race: Teaching and Learning About Human Difference," was named a co-winner of the American Sociological Association's 2005 Dissertation Award. I was also the co-recipient of the 2005 "Faculty of the Year" award from the Graduate Student Association of NYU's sociology department.
