KEYNOTE ADRESS

Professor Mary C. Waters “Legal VS Racial Exclusion: Understanding

Undocumented Immigrants and Mass Incarceration” Mary C. Waters, the M.E. Zukerman Professor of Sociology at Harvard University, focuses her research on the integration of immigrants and their children, the transition to adulthood for the children of immigrants, intergroup relations, and the measurement and meaning of racial and ethnic identity. Among her many publications are, The Next Generation: The Children of Immigrants in Europe and North America (co-edited with Richard Alba), (New York University Press, 2010); Inheriting the City: The Second Generation Comes of Age (with Jennifer Holdaway, Philip Kasinitz, and John Mollenkopf), (Harvard University and Russell Sage Press, 2008); and The New Americans: A Guide to Immigration Since 1965 (with Reed Ueda and Helen Marrow), (Harvard University Press, 2007). She is also author of Black Identities: West Indian Immigrant Dreams and American

Realities (Harvard University Press, 1999, paper ed. 2001). This book won five scholarly awards including the Mira Komarovsky Award of the Eastern Sociological Society, the Otis Dudley Duncan Award of the Population Section of the American Sociological Association, the Thomas and Znaniecki Award of the International Migration Section of the American Sociological Association, the Best Book Award of the Section on Race and Urban Politics of the American Political Science Association, and the Best Book Award of the Center for the Study of Inequality of Cornell University. She is currently co-directing a longitudinal study,

The Resilience in Survivors of Katrina (RISK) Project, of low-income parents who lived in New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina and what impact the disaster has had on their lives and wellbeing. Professor Waters is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

PUBLIC SOCIOLOGY AWARDS

Today we honor the coalition members of Minnesota Second Chance Coalition (SCC) with the Public Sociology Award for their work as criminal justice reform advocates. The Coalition is a partnership of over 50 organizations that advocate for fair and responsible laws, policies, and practices that allow those who have committed crimes to redeem themselves, fully support themselves and their families, and contribute to their communities to their full potential.

Chance Coalition and its member organizations have effected significant policy changes and increased awareness and visibility of second chance issues on a local and national level. SCC was crucial in the groundbreaking policy change enacted by the “Ban the Box” bill. Minnesota is now the first state to require all public employers to wait until an applicant has been selected for an interview before inquiring about their criminal record.

As one nominator stated, …they nimbly use sociological research to advance social change. They have the unique ability to distill complex research findings into bullet points that are effective for lobbying legislators and speaking to the media. They are public sociologists in the best sense of the term.

We celebrate the outstanding work of Professor Alejandro Baer, a member of the Department of Sociology faculty and Director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. He has worked tirelessly to establish links between scholarship and the community in impressive ways. Professor Baer has contributed to the public discourse through his numerous opinion pieces and expert commentary addressing the difficult and critical issues surrounding genocide and mass atrocities. He has also undertaken many public outreach activities, bringing his academic pursuits, especially on collective memory, to the public – seeking to apply lessons of the Holocaust to the fate of other groups who live with the memory of past destruction.

The breadth of his outreach is extraordinary, from leading a workshop for K-12 educators to organizing a major conference, Representing Genocide: Media, Law and Scholarship. He is truly bringing his research, knowledge, and experience to the public.

Aptly put by one of his nominators, His program, workshops, symposia, and individual outreach are literally unparalleled in our department. We are indeed fortunate to have Professor Baer as an exemplar of public sociology at the University and Twin Cities as well as international communities.

NEWS OF NOTE

Two Top Journals Come to Minnesota!

John "Rob" Warren is the editor of Sociology of Education (SOE), a journal of the American Sociological Association. This is the top ranked publication in education research. They publish research that examines how social institutions and individuals' experiences within these institutions affect educational processes and social development. Joachim Savelsberg and and Timothy Johnson (Political Science) are now co-editors

of Law & Society Review (LS&R). This is the journal of the Law & Society Association and regarded by socio-legal scholars worldwide as a leading publication for work bearing on the relationship between society and the legal process.

Join us in congratulating Erin Kelly who has been named Scholar of the College for 2014. This award was established to acknowledge outstanding achievement by faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and are chosen on the basis of their past accomplishments and the promise of future achievement. This award includes three years of financial support for her research and creative work. The formal presentation was held at the CLA Faculty Excellence Awards Ceremony on April 8th.

Michael Goldman is this year’s recipient of the CLA Arthur “Red” Motley Exemplary Teaching Award. This award acknowledges faculty who give themselves generously in advising, counseling, and directing projects, and who create an active classroom atmosphere. As one of his students said, “…he transported me to a new place in the sociological imagination – one which sought to understand the relationship between power/knowledge and the grassroots communities who are often externalities of global economic policies.” The formal presentation was held at the CLA Faculty Excellence Awards Ceremony on April 8th.
