THE SKIN I'M IN: HEALING, REDEMPTION & ATONEMENT ACROSS THE SKIN COLOR DIVIDE™
In this powerfully transformative "keeping it real" dialogue, participants discuss "colorism," as something to emerge from rather than a phenomenon to continuously perpetrate. The knots in participants' stomachs are loosened as they learn to reject the politics of hue and embrace their own unique array of beauty in the face of society's distorted messaging. Facilitators: Chery D. Cofield – Director of Inclusion & Engagement, Institute Diversity and Stephanie Ray – Associate Dean/Director of Student Diversity Programs
The conference aims to bring together student leaders from throughout the Southeast to discuss Asian American issues. The theme is 'Together We Grow: Civil Rights, Solidarity, and Coalition Building'.
Ticket page: http://sercaal2016.org/registration/ - normal registration at $35
All students are welcome as they come together to learn about and genuinely discuss issues being faced by People of Color in general, and Asian American Communities specifically.

“Holmes v. Atlanta: Changing the Game” was curated by a team of HSOC students (HTS majors Anna Arnau, Ericka Brundage, Hayden Gregg, plus doctoral student Renee Shelby) working under direction of Mary McDonald and Jennifer Sterling. The exhibit documents the life of Alfred “Tup” Holmes, a Black golfer whose successful Supreme Court suit compelled integration of the Bobby Jones Golf Course and other public recreational facilities in Atlanta and throughout the U.S.
In a matter of roughly ten weeks, the HSOC team pulled together an extensive series of panels that fill the walls of a large reception space at the course’s clubhouse. One highlight for me was a map showing locales where forty-some subsequent civil rights cases were won based on citations to Holmes v. Atlanta.
The exhibit will remain on permanent display at the club, so be sure to check it out when you get a chance! Here is an awesome panorama photo taken of the students' careful curation.

We are a vigorous, diverse, productive, and collaborative research department, also known for excellent mentoring. With an average of $250,000 per faculty member in grant funding in the last three years, our active research agendas provide abundant opportunities for graduate students, in an apprenticeship model that involves students working with professors on research immediately and continually. We are also committed to ensuring that students acquire mastery of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This is an intentionally small program, with entering cohorts of 4-5 students, all of whom receive full and generous funding for five years.
Our current graduate students are the recipients of many prestigious external and internal fellowships, are actively presenting at national conferences, and are publishing with our faculty.
Rice offers several resources that will provide graduate students with exciting research opportunities: The Kinder Institute for Urban Research houses research programs in Race, Ethnicity, & Culture; Urban Health; and the Houston Education Research Consortium which is an unique research collaboration with our Houston Independent School District. The Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance supports international and domestic research on religion. The Hobby Center for the Study of Texas generates analyses of key social and public policy issues, and our Postdoctoral Fellows Program, currently nine postdocs strong, provides graduate students additional collaborative and mentoring opportunities.
For more detailed information, please visit us at: http://sociology.rice.edu. And of course, we would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Our program emphasizes intensive mentoring from faculty; strong mixed-methods training; and research experience from day one.
