The Georgia Workshop
on Culture, Power, and History
The Culture,
Power, and History workshop is organized by Elizabeth Cherry (lcherry@uga.edu), Erin Winter (erinwin@uga.edu),
and David Smilde (dsmilde@uga.edu) of the
Its objectives are:
v
To
provide a discursive space for social scientific research that:
�
sees meaning and meaning creation (Culture) as central to the
way humans create social structure,
� regards structured inequality (Power) as a central aspect of the social world, or
�
focuses
on concrete actors and structures as they develop through time (History).
v Open up the process of knowledge
creation by focusing on work-in-progress.
v Build interdisciplinary links and
foment communication among interested researchers.
Our
focus is in getting smarter by expanding, not reducing, the scope of our
interaction. The only requirement for participation is enthusiasm.
The workshop meets on the campus of UGA, Fridays from 3:30-5:30 pm
in Baldwin 114A (directions from Atlanta).
The paper to be presented is available for download on this web page at least a
week in advance. Workshop discussions begin with a 5-10 minute introduction by
the author, brief comments by a discussant, followed by open discussion for the
rest of the meeting. Follow these links to take a look at past schedules: (2002-03 Schedule) (2003-04 Schedule) (2004-05 Schedule) (Fall 2005) (2007-08 Schedule).
