The Political Science Department, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, announces the G. E. Hendricks Symposium on inequality November 3-5, 2010. The Symposium is entitled, “The Challenge of Inequality in the Age of Obama: Does Race Still Matter?”
We are especially interested in abstracts that offer new paradigms, theories, strategies, and questions to assess inequality. The Symposium also welcomes research that focuses on the election of Obama and possible structural-cultural changes in American politics; that examines shifts in identity politics, multi-racial coalitions and immigration, and varied consequences of re-segregation; that assesses the role of law, public opinion, interest groups, mass movements, and culture and institutions in the persistence of inequality; that investigates linkages of education, health, housing, and immigration policies and inequality; and that analyzes race/ethnicity and gender, and culture in terms of globalization.
Presenters will be provided transportation, lodging, meals, and an honorarium. Abstracts should be submitted on or before August 1, 2010 at the website: http://sites.google.com/site/hendrickssymposium Professor Michael W. Combs is organizer and contact at the Department of Political Science, 535 Oldfather Hall, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588; email: mcombs1@unl.edu.
