Beyond the Botched Transplant: Jesica Santillan and High Tech Medicine in Cultural Perspective - June 11-12, 2004, Hyatt Regency Hotel, New Brunswick, NJ. Organizers: Keith Wailoo, Julie Livingston, Peter Guarnaccia. This conference brings together scholars from anthropology, history, health policy, ethnic studies, ethics, medicine, and sociology to discuss the global, local, and cultural meanings and significance of the death of the undocumented immigrant Jesica Santillan in 2003. The conference focuses on intensive panel discussions of short pre-circulated papers. Conference organizers seek 1-2 page proposals (deadline, January 30th) for papers that use the Santillan controversy as an opportunity for broader, cross-disciplinary discussion and reflection. Expenses of the participants will be paid, and an honorarium will be provided. Interested participants are asked to submit their paper proposals to Professor Keith Wailoo at (kwailoo@history.rutgers.edu). We expect that an edited volume will be published from the proceedings.

The
Conference on Race, Class, Gender, and Ethnicity: Tracking Educational
Success: Derailment, Wreckage, and Rescue- February
7, 2004 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School
of Law. Race and class have perpetually been at the forefront
of educational policy and debate. Research shows that minority
children and children from low socio-economic households continually
perform lower, as a group, on standardized tests. The conference
will examine the theoretical issue as to why minority and low
socio-economic students are performing poorly and the programs
created to combat these concerns. The conference will also address
whether these programs have benefited these students who have
gone on to higher education. Some of these issues include college
admissions, retention in higher education and graduation rates.

list, please contact Allison Blixt at ablixt@email.unc.edu
