CHAIR By Guillermina Jasso Guillermina Jasso s the spring semester draws to a close, and new scholarly energies are every- where visible, I want to briefly take stock of sociological theory and the CHAIR-ELECT Theory Section. It has been a splendid privilege to watch the selflessness Janet Saltzman Chafetz A and devotion with which section members nurture the growth of sociological theory and its chief institutional steward, the Theory Section. I called on many of you to PAST CHAIR help with section matters, and you kindly took on extra burdens, many of them Donald Levine thankless except, sub specie aeternitatis, insofar as they play a part in advancing socio- logical theory. The Theory Prize Committee, the Shils-Coleman Prize Committee, SECRETARY-TREASURER the Nominations Committee, and the Membership Committee have been active; the Peter Kivisto newsletter editor has kept us informed; the session organizers have assembled an impressive array of speakers and topics. And thus, we can look forward to our COUNCIL meeting in August as a time for intellectual consolidation and intellectual progress.

Constructing Citizenship: Exclusion, Subordination, and Resistance
2010 Presidential Address American Sociological Review 76(1) 1–24 Constructing Citizenship: Ó American Sociological Association 2011 DOI: 10.1177/0003122411398443 Exclusion, Subordination, http://asr.sagepub.com and Resistance Evelyn Nakano Glenna Abstract This Presidential Address develops a sociological concept of citizenship, particularly substan- tive citizenship, as fundamentally a matter of belonging, including recognition by other members of the community. In this conception, citizenship is not simply a fixed legal status, but a fluid status that is produced through everyday practices and struggles. Historical examples illustrate the way in which boundaries of membership are enforced and challenged in everyday interac- tions. The experience of undocumented immigrant college students is particularly illuminating. These students occupy a position of liminal legality, which transcends fixed categories such as legal and illegal. As they go about their daily lives, their standing is affirmed in some settings and denied in others. Furthermore, the undocumented student movement, which asserts that education is a human and social right, represents a form of insurgent citizenship, one that chal- lenges dominant formulations and offers an alternative and more inclusive conception.

[FFP] No I had seen him speak at Columbia University, he came and spoke once,uh, during the - - or shortly after the building takeovers in 1968, so I had seen him speak and I knew who he was, but I didn't get to know him till I went to BU, and getting to know him was great, uh, I was very happy when I went to BU, because they seemed to be such lively people around. I had come from the Columbia University school [of] social work where there were not so many lively people, so, it was great, and I got to know him and I got to know Roz and all -- we would have supper together fairly often, and we were always planning things and doing things together. [00:01:00.957] Howard, Mary Levin and I are -- wrote an answer to Silber, this is shortly after I got there, it was published in, uh, BU News, I think, and, it was an answer to Silber's public statements that he wanted to make BU into and [aliet?] university, and we said "we don't want this to be an aliet university, uh, we want this to be a university in which ordinary people, uh, to which ordinary people come, come in large numbers, and, we don't necessarily want to glorify the academic traditions that are glorofied at places like Harvard or MIT, we wanna be critical and spirited," and, so, we three collaborated on that, uh, on that answer to Silber and that was really a few months after I got there and I think you can find that in the files, it must be there. -

BERNICE A. PESCOSOLIDO: Welcome to Our Plenary Session, Speaking to Publics: Limits and Possibilities
BERNICE A. PESCOSOLIDO: Welcome to our plenary session, Speaking to Publics: Limits and Possibilities. This is a companion session plenary from the point of view of the program committee to the earlier plenary on Speaking to Powers. Although it's quite clear that these two communities are not mutually exclusive. My name is Bernice Pescosolido and I will simply introduce the speakers briefly. They are so notable that I think the time is much better spent hearing them than hearing about them. But first, it's my pleasure to introduce ASA's recipient of the first Annual Decade of Behavior Research Award. Among the questions that have been raised or that will be raised in this session today are; what publics can sociologist address? What ways are we addressing them? Why should we bother to address them? ASA works to ensure that sociologists are recognized for their scholarly efforts that have important policy implications. One such sociologist is David R. Williams whom ASA nominated to receive the inaugural Decade of Behavior Research Award. In 2004, the Decade of Behavior National Advisory Committee named David Williams as one of two recipients of this prestigious recognition for research in health. We are delighted that ASA's nominee has been honored by the Decade of Behavior. Let me give you a little background about this. The Decade of Behavior which in case you are not aware of it is 2000 to 2010 is a multidisciplinary initiative of about 60 endorsing organizations including the ASA that are committed to focusing the talents, energy, and creativity of the behavioral and social sciences on meeting many of society's most significant challenges. -
