Greetings everyone ~ I hope your summer has been restorative in the ways that you needed. I'm looking forward to seeing you all (very) soon in Montreal. Thanks to Laura Robinson with help on scheduling and getting the website updated with the schedule of really interesting panels, presentations and roundtables, which you can check here <https://citams.org/annual-meeting/>. A reminder about two opportunities for us to gather: the *Business Meeting* and the *Reception*, please add both to your schedule. The *Business Meeting the on Saturday, 8/12, 9:30am-10:10am: Palais des congrès de Montréal, 517B.* This short meeting follows the roundtables, includes some announcements, and then we give out the section awards! Yay! There will also be coffee and snacks on offer. Our reception is confirmed for: *Saturday, 8/12, 6:00-8:00pm, Vargas Steakhouse & Sushi, 690 René-Lévesque Blvd W, Montreal. * PLEASE NOTE: The time is slightly earlier (6 rather than 6:30) to allow people the chance to visit other receptions. Come to ours first! And, also: this is NOT the location listed in the program. Disregard that & come join us at Vargas! FURTHER: Be not afraid of the name of this establishment, as there will be *plenty of vegan & vegetarian options*, along with a cash bar. See you soon, ~ Jessie *Jessie Daniels* Professor, Sociology, Hunter College-CUNY [image: photo] Website: http://www.jessiedaniels.net In the new york times: http://bit.ly/LTE_2016 New book: http://bit.ly/Going_Public <http://twitter.com/JessieNYC> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessiedaniels/> Racism Review Elite White Men Ruling and Reducing Democracy <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/racismreview/nYnz/~3/QwZKt5MAsvA/>
