Are you a member of SWS? YES _X NO 2. If yes, have you participated in any of the following SWS activities: check all that apply. Gender & Society reviewer Gender & Society editorial board Attendance at Summer Meetings Attendance at Winter Meetings Presentation at SWS Meetings If other service, please list: 3. Please describe any contributions you have made to the promotion or social equality for women: My main contributions to fostering gender equality have occurred in the context of service, mentoring, and research. At Princeton I served on a committee appointed to look into how to hire, foster and retain women on the faculty, for which I coauthored a document that reviewed the relevant social science literature. When I moved to Harvard in 2003, I became a member of the Committee on the Status of Women (CSW), which played a leadership role in the movement that led to the resignation of Harvard President Larry Summers in 2006, following an incident in which he suggested that women lag behind men in science due to differences in aptitude. This mobilization facilitated the emergence of a network of women who felt empowered to create institutional change. This is the context in which I was asked to serve as Senior Advisor on Faculty Development and Diversity for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. While a post-2008 hiring freeze limited what could be achieved through recruitment, there was room for change in the mentoring culture. Thus in my new role I was charged to develop and implement our first universal mentoring program for junior faculty in 2009 and 2010 (previous programs were denounced because they targeted only women). This program has been credited for a significant improvement in the experience of junior faculty (women in particular) 4 documented in Harvard’s institutional climate surveys. It has also contributed to a significant increase in the promotion to tenure of junior faculty at Harvard. As someone who has been frustrated by many aspects of the elite institutions where I have spent most of my academic life, it has been incredibly meaningful to me to be able to contribute to such changes. My contributions to gender equality have also occurred by serving as primary advisor to more than 40 women graduate students and postdocs over thirty some years. My mentoring work has been recognized by two awards: the 2010 Master Mentor Award from the Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity; and the 2010 Everett Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award from the Graduate Student Association. My mentoring has taken the form of coauthoring a number of papers with female graduate students. I am now finishing a collaborative book titled Getting Respect: Dealing with Stigmatization in the United States, Brazil and Israel, which has involved fourteen women collaborators (including a number of women of color). The book draws on interviews with African Americans, Black Brazilians, Ethiopian Jews, Arab Palestinians and Mizrahim. It is inspired in part by the literature on everyday feminism and by my own experience with stigmatization (as a woman and a Québécoise) and by what I have learned from my various leadership experiences in environments where women are in the minority. I take pride in the fact that I am not “male-identified” nor the kind of “men enabler” that Joan C. Williams wrote about in her work on gender stereotyping in academia. This year I am taking the leadership of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (WCFIA), which is the largest social science center on our campus. This is where Kissinger and Brzezinski left their mark at Harvard, in the context of the Cold War. My hope is to lead the center through a transition where the study of globalization, transnationalism, and comparative and international research will come together and complement the historical focus of the center. Comparative inequality will be the integrative focus of the substantive agenda, and the comparative study of gender inequality will be a lynchpin of the intellectual program. Indeed, we recently awarded a grant of half a million dollars for the study of gender inequality to colleagues Mary Brinton, Jason Beckfield, Claudia Goldin and others. They will bring to WCFIA a large network of social scientists to consolidate and expand social science research on gender at Harvard. Finally, I have behind me thirty years of scholarship devoted to deepening our understanding of how cultural processes contribute to inequality. I have focused on the sociological analysis of the doing and undoing of differences in a range of contexts. While my prime focus has been class and racial inequality, I have studied the multiplicity of overlapping group boundaries, particularly in The Dignity of Working Men. I think it will be important to spell out how the study of group boundaries can illuminate aspects of intersectionality (as described by Choo and Ferree (Sociological Theory 2010)). In another realm, my book on peer review, How Professors Think, has analyzed social processes of definition of excellence and the culture of evaluation in the world of research, including gendered aspects. Thus, although I am not a gender researcher, I am certainly an ally by temperament and taste, as well as a self-defined “everyday feminist.” If elected, I will be committed to contributing to making our discipline more 5 inclusive while working to raise its profile and intellectual ambition and serving the needs of the wide swath of sociologists who are members of the association.

Yes, I am a member of SWS I have participated in the following SWS activities: X Gender & Society Reviewer X Attendance at Summer Meetings X Attendance at Winter Meetings X Presentation at SWS Meetings X Other Service for SWS Other Service includes: – SWS Co_President, 2015 – SWS Distinguished Feminist Lecturer, 1998 (published Feminist Lecture in Gender & Society) – More generally, I have been a member of SWS since my graduate student years -- that is, the beginning of my professional life and almost the beginning of SWS itself! I have always looked to SWS as a beacon for cutting edge ideas, influential professional engagement, and thoughtful political action. Contributions I have made to the promotion of social equality for women: Throughout my professional life (and well before), I have been committed to seeking the sources of gender inequality and to creating the conditions for achieving women's equality in the public and private spheres. These efforts have taken the form of both scholarship and activism. My research and writing have consistently focused on illuminating the sources, nature, and consequences of gender inequality and the contours of gender change. In the public realm, I have endeavored to contribute to public debates and the formation of progressive social policy that expands the possibilities for equality and women’s empowerment. More specifically, in the academy and the profession, I have sought to put feminist goals into practice by mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, advocating for gender equality in the university (including chairing the Gender Equity Committee for NYU’s Faculty of Arts and Science), and participating actively in feminist oriented ASA initiatives and groups (such as chairing the ASA Family Section). In the public arena, I have sought to achieve these goals in a variety of ways over many years, including as a board member for the Council on Contemporary Families, a founding board member of the Work-Family Researchers Network, and a contributor to numerous policy oriented and nonprofit initiatives to promote gender equity, work-family integration, and equal economic and social opportunity for all. In short, a commitment to gender justice and women's equality has informed my life's work and continues to inspire all that I do as a sociologist and engaged public citizen. 9 Vice President-Elect: Verta Taylor University of California – Santa Barbara No Response 10 Secretary-Elect: Mary Bernstein University of Connecticut 1.

If yes, have you participated in any of the following SWS activities: check all that apply. _X Gender & Society reviewer Gender & Society editorial board _X Attendance at Summer Meetings _X Attendance at Winter Meetings _X Presentation at SWS Meetings If other service, please list: I am currently past-president of SWS and I have been involved with SWS since I first became an assistant professor and learned of SWS. I have participated in the organization in many capacities ever since. I have presented papers and/or served on panels and attended almost every meeting since I joined. More importantly, Tracy Ore had the inspired idea to start the Social Action Committee and I was at the first meeting and helped the Committee to grow, develop fact sheets, and to become an important part of SWS. I have served as a member of the program committee and done local arrangements for the SWS Winter meetings both in 2000-2001 and again in 2003-2004. From 2004-2006, I served as secretary of SWS. I became president-elect of SWS in 2013 and president in 2014. I serve as one of the deputy editors of Gender & Society (2011- 2015). 3. Please describe any contributions you have made to the promotion or social equality for women: My younger years as an activist as well as my scholarship and service at the University of Connecticut (UConn), in the profession, and in the community have had a central focus on promoting social equality for women across race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. / / My contributions to the promotion of social equality for women began in college with my work in the Sanctuary movement, toward divestment from South Africa and with Amnesty International. Upon graduating college, I worked for the feminist organization, 9 to 5: The National Association for Working Women on issues such as pay equity. Working with these various social movement organizations sparked my scholarly interest in understanding the dynamics of collective action and social change. 11 Thus my scholarship has focused on understanding social change through a focus on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement and more recently, the multi- racial Hapa movement, and Islamic movements in Turkey and LGBT activism in Turkey and Autralia. My publications have also examined the politics of family formation. Another current research project involves examining how women with early breast cancer make decisions about their medical treatment. / / In addition to my scholarship, I have had a long-term commitment to advancing the position of people of color, women, and LGBT people in the academy and to supporting a variety of activist efforts in this regard. / / I have been involved in promoting women’s studies through my affiliation with Women’s Studies (4 years at Arizona State University and 12 years at UConn, including 6 years on the Women’s Studies Advisory Board). I helped to rewrite the bylaws of the Women’s Studies Program (which has since become the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program) and to create a vision for the Program at UConn. At UConn, I served as a member of the ALTERR committee-- the Academic Leadership Team for Effective Recruiting and Retention-- whose goal was to ensure that recruitment efforts at UConn did not disadvantage women and people of color and to create strategies for retaining women faculty and faculty of color once they were at UConn. The Committee conducted training with every department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that was hiring to ensure that committees were aware of the subtle and notso-subtle ways in which recruitment practices might disadvantage women and people of color. When I served as Director of Graduate Studies in my department at UConn, I wrote and received a grant for graduate student recruitment and initiated an “Ambassador Program” designed to recruit and retain students of color. The Ambassador Program, under my direction, was highly successful. I also served as advisor from 2003 – 2012 to the UConn group, Allies and Queers Undergraduate Association (AQUA) as well as to the UConn group Queers United Against Discrimination (QUAD) and have been a guest speaker at various groups on campus, such as Graduate Queers, LGBT graduate student association and the Rainbow Center. / / At the professional-level, I served as Chair of the American Sociological Association’s Section on Sexualities and council members of the section on Collective Behavior and Social Movements. In 2011-2012, I organized the ASA Section on the Sociology of Sexualities’s first mini-conference, entitled “Crossing Boundaries: Workshopping Sexualities” where I helped to raise money to provide 24 grants to graduate students so that they could attend the conference. I have also developed a lecture designed to help LGBT graduate students prepare for the job market entitled, “Going on the Market With A Lavender CV” which I have given at several professional meetings, including ASA and the Easterns. / / I have also contributed to community efforts to promote social change regarding gender and sexual orientation through serving as a board member of the Arizona Human Rights Foundation and the Arizona Human Rights Fund and as a guest speaker in various community groups such as Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gay Men. 12 Secretary Elect: David Takeuchi Boston College No Response 13 Council Members At-Large: Mabel Berezin Cornell University No Response 14 Council Members At-Large: Daniel F.
