[URBANTH-L]SUNTA sessions for San Jose

[David W. Haines]

To SUNTA members and friends:

The following is a list of SUNTA sessions and events
for San Jose. Business meetings, special events, and
invited sessions are in bold. There is a very good range
of sessions and, with some good coordination efforts by
Maria Vesperi and the AAA program committee, the
scheduling is better than in the past--although as always
there were some difficult choices.

Note especially the SUNTA business meeting on
Friday at 12:15 p.m., a reception for the poverty working
group on Thursday at 8:00 p.m., and the CORI business
meeting on Saturday at 12:15 p.m.

SUNTA is also trying out the workshop approach this year.
The inaugural workshop will be on teaching and will be led
by Bob Rotenberg, our past president. It is on Thursday
afternoon at 3:30 p.m.

I should note my appreciation to Russell Sharman and
Ema Guano for their efforts on the program committee.
There were close to 200 session and paper abstracts to
review--all of quite good quality. We also had good contacts
with the Committee for Human Rights, the Association for
Political and Legal Anthropology, and the Society for the
Anthropology of North America. All are involved with us in
the sponsorship of at least one invited session or special
event.

Best regards--and hope to see you in San Jose,

-- David Haines, Program Chair
