The theme of this year’s meeting is “Stalled Revolutions? Gender Inequality in the 21st Century.” While women have made many strides toward equal participation in societal institutions, and men are more supportive of equality and more active in family life, there is no denying the persistence of gender inequality in the United States. Not only do women and men continue to face different expectations for their behavior in both the public and private spheres, the intersections of race/ethnicity, class, sexuality, and nativity with gender yield even more challenges to realizing equality. In paper, roundtable, and poster sessions we will ask whether the gender revolution has stalled in and across important societal institutions and contexts, *and* discuss the policies needed to bring about a more gender egalitarian society in the 21st century. Please take note of the plenary sessions in support of the meeting theme on David J. Maume Thursday (Kathleen Gerson), Friday (Heidi Hartmann and Martha Burk), and Saturday SSS President (Michael Messner, and Paula England). Running concurrent with the general 2014-2015 meeting will be two mini-conferences that focus on gender inequality. These sessions are highlighted in the program with the conference’s “50/50” icon. The first, “Changing and Unchanging Institutions,” will feature Thursday sessions assessing women’s status in sports, higher education, formal organizations, the military, and religion. On Friday, the “Gender Politics and Policies” mini-conference will feature sessions on work-family in international context, social welfare policy, immigration politics, and health care. As we meet in New Orleans ten years after Katrina, please note the many research and bookshelf sessions assessing the condition of the region post-Katrina. You’ll find these Katrina symposium sessions in the program by looking for the fleur-de-lis icon. In addi- tion, we have a stellar slate of Author-Meets-Critics sessions, noted by a book icon in the program. We’ve also provided the opportunity for conference attendees to meet many of the authors of books in the Katrina bookshelf and Author-Meets-Critics sessions in a series of “Meet the Authors” sessions scattered throughout the three main conference days. Finally, in keeping with the conference theme, we are pleased to offer gender neutral restrooms on the second floor mezzanine level, where the majority of our meeting rooms are located. Look for more information in the program and via signage on the meeting room floor. I am in debt to an excellent group of sociologists on the program committee and to program co-chairs Sarah Winslow (Clemson) and Shannon Davis (George Mason) for organizing this meeting. “Team S&S” has worked tirelessly to put together a compelling and provocative program; their commitment to SSS is exceeded only by their good cheer as they went about the thankless task of crafting the program. Thank you, Shannon & Sarah!! I also want to thank John Reynolds (Florida State) for his invaluable service as Vice President, and Jaita Talukdar (Loyola University of New Orleans) who chaired the Local Arrangements Committee. Of course, SSS runs smoothly because of the dedication and professionalism of David Brunsma and Slade Lellock (both at Virginia Tech), and we all owe them a debt of gratitude for their service to SSS. Finally, I want to thank you, the members, for supporting the SSS by coming to New Orleans to present and network. Have a great conference, everyone! 4 ANNUAL MEETING PROGRAM PhD Program in Sociology University of Cincinnati Urban Medical Race/Ethnicity Gender Qualitative Quantitative SOUTHERN SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY 78TH ANNUAL MEETING 5 78th Annual meeting SOUTHERN SOCIOLOGICAL SOciety TABLE OF CONTENTS ASTOR CROWNE PLAZA NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 2 Past Presidents MARCH 25-28, 2015 3 Welcome Letter 6 SSS Committees Stalled 10 SSS Award Recipients 11 Previous Award Winners Revolutions? 12 Schedule at a Glance Gender inequality in the 21st century 24 Detailed Schedule 24 Wednesday, March 25 24 Thursday, March 26 72 Friday, March 27 109 Saturday, March 28 134 Index to Participants 159 Floor Map PRESIDENT DAVID J.
