>All,

>First, apologies for multiple postings.

>This is the program/author list for the Conference on Work, Difference
>and Social Change, to be held at SUNY-Binghamton May 8-10, 1998.
>There may be some last minute changes, but all the listed panels and
>panelists have been confirmed as of this posting.
>
>The flood of papers and registrations is gratifying but we now face some
>logistical problems, mostly around catering and preparing the
>conference Proceedings. Both the caterer and the printer
>have rejected the Just-in-Time production model. As a result,
>registrations received after May 1, including those made on-site, will
>not include lunches or the conference Proceedings, although we will have
>to charge the normal fees. Late registrants will be able to order the
>Proceedings for a supplemental charge. Unfortunately, the only
>(uncatered) food on campus that week-end will be in the usual assortment
>of vending machines. There is a Denny's nearby....
>
>More information, including travel directions, suggestions for
>international visitors, and a printable registration form, can be found
