Fw: [URBANTH-L]SUNTA sessions for San Jose

Tue Aug 22 13:26:34 EDT 2006

Dear All: I would like to thank David Haines and the SUNTA program committee for their outstanding work on "Critical Intersections/Dangerous Issues," the 105th Annual Meeting Program. David took a very proactive approach, and as a result we were able to accommodate many of his requests on behalf of SUNTA. I would like to encourage all of the Section Program Editors to develop flyers of their invited and reviewed sessions for display and distribution at the meeting. David's list of sessions (below) provides a very good model.

Thanks to all who have contributed to the program, and I look forward to seeing you in San Jose. Best wishes, Maria

>>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
