Nine seminar students presented research findings from their projects at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society in Philadelphia in March. Here are students and their projects in Fall 1997's Sociology Senior Seminar, with an asterisk indicating presentation at the 1998 Eastern Sociological Society meetings.
