This year's Annual BJS Conference will be held on Friday March 14th, 2008. The topic is VIOLENCE and will feature a variety of panels showcasing graduate students, faculty, and community activists. The keynote panel, Interdisciplinary Investigations of Violence, will bring together faculty from an array of social science departments on campus, including Prof. Teresa Caldeira, City and Regional Planning, Prof. Jennifer Johnson-Hanks, Demography, Prof. Richard Walker, Geography, Prof. James Holston, Anthropology, and Prof. Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Anthropology.
I know a lot of folks might have social work internships on Fridays, but I figured I'd post this anyway...
