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. Eleven seminar students presented research findings from their projects at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society in Boston in March. Here are students and their projects in Fall 1998's Sociology Senior Seminar, with an asterisk indicating presentation at the 1999 Eastern Sociological Society meetings.
