PARTICIPATION AT MEETINGS SINCE 1994
I have usually participated at one or two meetings per year in North America, most often (because of my
academic schedule) at the meetings of the Midwest Sociological Society. Usually, I have also participated at
one or two meetings per year in Europe. The presentations given at these meetings closely reflect the
themes covered by my publications.
