March 30-31: Princeton University
The Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies and the Department of
Sociology at Princeton University will host a conference on Cultural
Dynamics on March 30 and 31st, 2001 on the Princeton University Campus. The
Conference will look broadly at the topic of cultural change -- from
long-term historical transformations through short-term change in small
groups and everything in between. It will feature talks on globalization,
public opinion, technology, commemorations, literature and regionalism,
racial and ethnic identity and other areas relevant to the sociology of
culture. Keynote speakers include Diana Crane, Wendy Griswold, W. Russell
Neuman and David Zaret.
Registration for the conference is free but is required in order to reserve
a seat and a conference program.
