Tay Gavin Erickson Lecture Series

Hadas Mandel Levy Ph.D. Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Tel Aviv University   Within the extensive and variegated research on welfare states and gender, the diversity among women is not commonly highlighted. In this lecture, Dr. Mandel will draw from the literature on welfare state policies, gender, and class in order to stress the importance of class distinction for understanding how welfare state policies affect the life chances of women.  Dr. Hadas Mandel heads the Pollak Program for Excellence for doctoral students in the social sciences at Tel Aviv University. Her research focuses on cross-country variations in gender inequality, their relationship to class inequality, and the role of the welfare state. She also studies the motherhood penalty within a cross-country comparative perspective and the role of gender in wage inequality between occupations. Selected publications on these topics have appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Social Forces, European Sociological Review, Social Politics, and the British Journal of Sociology. This lecture is sponsored by the Center for Research on Families' Tay Gavin Erickson Lecture Series and co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology, the Department of Economics and the Center for Public Policy and Administration. The Tay Gavin Erickson Lectures Series brings internationally recognized speakers with expertise in family research to campus each year. The lecture series began in 1999 through an endowment established in memory of Tay Gavin Erickson.

w CALL FOR ABSTRACTS w

Submission Deadline: March 16, 2014


The 2014 Symposium for Research and Innovation in Education, hosted by the newly formed TECS Graduate Student Organization (GSO) in collaboration with students and faculty from all four concentrations, will be held Friday, April 18, 2014 from 1:00–8:30p.m. at the UMass Campus Center.


This conference is designed to showcase research presentations from students in all concentrations in our department (CFS, LLC, MSLT, and TESI), with breakout sessions appealing to students with a wide variety of interests. Special features include panel discussions from faculty across campus, a grant search workshop, a plenary presentation by professor emerita Dr. Sonia Nieto, and plenty of networking opportunities over lunch and dinner (provided). The theme for this event is Learning Beyond Boundaries: (Re)visioning the Education of Diverse Learners, and it will foreground research that in some way considers breaking traditional boundaries to consider the diverse needs and experiences of teachers and learners; however, submissions are welcome in other topic strands relevant to the interests of the TECS community.


Abstracts

Abstracts are invited for poster or paper sessions.

·  POSTERS: Posters are for on-on-one discussion of research and can be especially effective for presenting visual data. A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters.

·  PAPERS: These are formal, technology-assisted  (e.g., PPT) presentations of 10–15 minutes followed by time for discussion. Paper presentations will be organized into sessions of 3–4 papers.
