GUIDED
by Professor Catherine Berheide, the Sociology Senior
Seminar is a practicum in which students draw on their
acquired knowledge of sociology to develop independent research
projects. Nine seminar students presented research findings
from their projects at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological
Society in Philadelphia in March. Here are students and their
projects in Fall 1997's Sociology Senior Seminar, with an
asterisk indicating presentation at the 1998 Eastern Sociological
Society meetings.
