CHARLENE'S TUMBLR

Pacific Sociological Association

I presented a paper at PSA this week.  It went well.  The real story is all of the interesting and socially conscious papers that others presented.  Here are some of the presentations that I heard:  Culturally responsive curriculum: Transforming survival into resilience, The inequality of Obesity, Middle school disinvestment on Mexican American youth.  While some of the sessions were about strictly sociological topics including theory, a large number of presentations have been about socially conscious topics.  

San Diego is a nice place to visit.  The food is terrific due to a large selection of ethnic restaurants.  Wouldn’t want to live here, though.

The PSA is a regional sociology professional association.  There are lots of grad students here, including me.  It has not been particularly exciting, but certainly instructive.
