Greetings Sociology Friends & Colleagues ~ If you live in the Boston area and/or plan to attend the regional ESS meetings (Mar 17-20), please come to some of the Digital Sociology panels that are part of the mini-conference. The preliminary list of session is available online here: http://digsoc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/mini-conference-program-2016/ This is the second year for this gathering and we continue to have a great response, with over sixty submissions from participants all over the world. We're also hosting a reception on Friday evening - free drinks and snacks! - at MSR-NE (Microsoft Research - NorthEast), where anthropologist Mary L. Gray has invited us to hang with her. You're all welcome to attend the reception whether or not you can make any of the sessions. Please RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-ess-digital-sociology-reception-tickets-22425124150 . It should be a great time with a lovely view of the Charles River.
