1. The Peter Shaw Award Acceptance Address: An Immigrant Sociologist

Author

Hollander, Paul

Abstract

This article presents the author's acceptance address for receiving the Peter Shaw award. In this address, the author, an immigrant sociologist, tells how this award helps to resolve questions and uncertainties he has as to the degree to which he can or should consider himself an American--about the extent to which he has become a part, a member of the society. It represents a token of acceptance and appreciation by a group of fellow intellectuals with whom he has much in common and who stand for authentic American values and beliefs. The author's attraction to these values--and the institutions protecting them--contributed greatly to his living in the United States. In conclusion, the author suggests that one doesn't have to be a former refugee from a communist country in order to subscribe to the values and convictions that brought NAS into existence. The members of this organization and the millions of Americans who support what NAS stands for without knowing that it exists, prove that being critical of orthodoxies, conformity, double standards, and self-righteous intolerance need not be a by-product of growing up in a highly repressive and openly intolerant society.

Author

Carraher, Shawn

Subjects
STUDENT research, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, GRADUATE students, AWARDS
Abstract

This symposium is a follow-up to the winner of the 2012 Innovative Education Award from SBI about getting students involved in research. As a strategic goal of SBI the membership has voted to add student members and therefore this symposium has been put together to highlight some of the research done by undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Texas at Dallas as part of the SBI program. In the last year this program has resulted in 58 academic presentations at conferences ranging from ones at Harvard University, Oxford University, and Cambridge University to the Academy of Entrepreneurship. These have then resulted in 19 publications within peer reviewed journals and edited academic books. This year alone 21 undergraduate students in Business applied for undergraduate student research grants as opposed to 0 for each of the previous 3 years. This is a program that should be able to be replicated at other universities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
