Sun Feb 11 18:26:15 EST 2007


I would be interested in hearing from individuals who
study violence in urban settings in the United States
for a panel at next  year's AAA. I myself work on 
violence by female youths. The focus is loose but
should 
reference violence in some form or fashion. I look 
forward to any responses. I can be reached at 
nessci at yahoo.com

and ABD in anthropology (UPenn)
