  • HOTEL INFORMATION, 2018 MEETING May 11-12, 2018 Boston
    HOTEL INFORMATION, 2018 MEETING May 11-12, 2018 Boston University School of Law 765 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02215 (All Sessions will be held at the School of Law) IMPORTANT: NOTE DEADLINE FOR RESERVATIONS IS APRIL 10, 2018 (After that date, reservations will be on a space-available basis) Hotels in Boston are very expensive this time of year, and we encourage everyone to book their lodging as soon as possible. The ALEA was able to procure only a limited number of rooms to block for this year’s meeting, given the other events that are going on in Boston during the month of May. The Hotel Commonwealth in Boston and the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge both have small blocks of rooms available for Thursday and Friday nights. The Hotel Commonwealth is within walking distance to the School of Law. In addition to the Hotel Commonwealth and the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, the Boston Hotel Buckminster has agreed to give ALEA participants a discount of 15% off the rack rate per night on a space-available basis. The room rates won’t be posted until April, but the hotel expects the room prices in May to be somewhere between $220-$250 a night. Below is the contact information for all three hotels, as well as information about other neighborhoods in Boston which will open up more lodging options, many of which are easily accessible to the Law School by the “T,” which is the nickname for the Boston underground rail system. (See below for more details.) Hotel Commonwealth (This is the closest hotel to ALEA, and where the cocktail party and dinner will be held.) 500 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02215 Single or Double Room: $359/night + tax Call 617.933.5000 | Reservations 866.784.4000 (be sure to mention that you are attending the BU Law – ALEA Conference when you call).

  • Consumption and Inequality Fall 2012
    Honors 391 A/D: Consumption and Inequality University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Spring 2012 Course Meetings: Tuesdays 9:30-10:20am, Dickinson 114 Who: Joya Misra Kyla Walters Where: Machmer Hall W33e Thompson 638 When: Tues 10:30 am-11:30 am Thurs 8:30-10:30 am Email: [email protected] [email protected] Site: https://moodle.umass.edu/course/view.php?id=831 Course Description Consumption is an undeniable part of our lives. Whether we’re striving to be out with the old and in with the new, bargain hunting at neighborhood tag sales, or restricting produce purchases to locally grown organic vegetables, our actions, beliefs, ideals, bodily behaviors, and monetary exchanges form a constellation of consumption. This course will survey how scholars examine social phenomena related to consumption and consumerism, including theories about globalization, culture, inequality, gender, and intersectionality. We will consider three main themes over the course of the semester: 1) the historical, political, and economic underpinnings of consumption; 2) cultural aspects of consumption and image representation in relation to racial, ethnic, gender, sexuality, and class inequality reproduction, and 3) retail and service work. Course Requirements: One of the best parts of a seminar class is in having people with different backgrounds and experiences hash out a given topic. Our goal will not be to all agree – but to thoughtfully, respectfully, and energetically push each other forward in our understandings of the materials and of our own viewpoints. You need not read or respond to the materials the same way we do, but you should be prepared to take a position and argue for it! Much of your course grade will be based on exactly that – so being engaged is your best chance at doing well in the class.
