SRI can only mean one thing...

it isn't the Steel Recycling Institute,

nor the Scholastic Reading Inventory,

and certainly not the System of Rice Intensification.

no, sri is the minnversity's 19th annual sociology research institute -- friday 4/17 from 9 am until, well, way later than that. we've got some great morning sessions, i'll announce the public sociology award winner after lunch, and one of my favorite sociologists, katherine newman of princeton, is keynoting at 12:45. after the afternoon panels and roundtables, we'll enjoy a li'l collective effervescence in the evening program and beyond. as always, you're welcome to join us for any or all of the festivities. details here. what to wear, what to wear...
