Please try to relate THIS ARTICLE to the readings you have done on: Mean, median and mode.
\nThe author's argument is that current economic statistics say very little about the AVERAGE AMERICAN because the earnings of those at the top tend to disguise what is happening to people in the middle. (In other words, the rich get richer -- thus raising the 'average' income from year to year -- but in actuality most people are not getting richer).
\nChoose 5 statistics which the author uses in this story -- and explain why they are or are not useful in illustrating economic trends in America. For each statistic, think about whether it might be more useful to know the mean, the median or the mode for this statistic.

\n
Dates: 14-16 December, 2011
Location: The Hebrew University, Mount Scopus Campus, Jerusalem
Website: http://gradcon.huji.ac.il
Description:
We invite applications from graduate students, as well as recent PhDs, in Israel and abroad who work in the fields of Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy, as well as related fields such as Politics and Law, Political History, Political Economy, Political Geography, Political Philosophy, Political Psychology, Political Sociology and Political Communication.
The conference offers two parallel tracks—panels and workshops.
PANELS TRACK
Ninety-minute panels run throughout the main day of the conference. In each panel, three papers are presented. Following the papers, the panel chair and discussant (senior faculty members) offer comments, and then open the discussion to the audience.
Graduate students are welcome to send an abstract (250 words, see guidelines below) for this track. The organizers will then build panels around common themes as reflected in the applications.
We welcome papers either in English or Hebrew. Panels are usually held in Hebrew, but may be held in English depending on the composition of the panel. Israeli students should keep this in mind and be prepared to present in English. All submissions should represent original research.
Please note that we also accept submissions from students and faculty who wish to organize a panel. Groups of three/four students are welcome to send in proposals for joint panels. If your proposal is part of an organized panel, please indicate this on the application form.
WORKSHOPS TRACK
This track comprises several research workshops, each focusing on a pre-determined theme. These are listed below. Unlike the panel format, workshops require an intensive full-day / two-day commitment. While individual workshop formats may vary, each paper is thoroughly discussed by all the participants. Consideration for this highly competitive track requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 500 words). Because the number of participants in each workshop is limited, the workshop organizers will select those proposals that offer the best fit in the themes of the workshops and that seem most promising. All submissions should represent original research.
All of the participants in workshops are required to submit a full-length paper ahead of the workshop, to read the papers of the other participants, and to participate actively throughout the workshop.
LIST OF CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Public Policies towards Managing Health, Safety & Environmental Risks. Workshop Leaders: Professor David J. Vogel and Professor David Levi-Faur
Workshop 2: Protest Politics and Public Policy: A Comparative Perspective. Workshop Leaders: Professor David S. Meyer and Dr. Eitan Y. Alimi
Workshop 3: The Political Economy of Transition in the Middle East and North Africa. Workshop Leaders: Professor Etel Solingen and Professor Alfred Tovias
Workshop 4: Courts and Judges in Law and Political Science. Workshop Leaders: Professor Gad Barzilai and Dr. Udi Sommer
Workshop 5: Religion and the State. Workshop Leaders: Professor Menachem Mautner and Dr. Guy Ben-Porat
Workshop 6: War and Peace in the New Millennium: The Interrelationships between an Emerging “New Middle East” and the Changing Global System. Workshop Leaders: Professor Benny Miller and Professor Hillel Frisch
BEST PAPER COMPETITION
A committee composed of leading Israeli scholars in the fields of Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy will carefully read and choose the best paper of the conference from the pool of papers submitted to the competition. Papers submitted by midnight November 21, 2011, will be considered for the Best Paper Award. Co-authored papers may be submitted if all authors are graduate students. The length of papers should not exceed 10,000 words (including bibliography and footnotes). PhD or Master’s theses are not eligible for the competition.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Applicants should carefully follow the guidelines below:
Application forms and abstracts should be submitted no later than September 20, 2011. Please note that you will need to choose either the panels or the workshops track. Abstracts for the panels track can be submitted in Hebrew or in English. Abstracts for workshops must be submitted in English.
Applicants will be notified by October 15, 2011, if their paper has been accepted and to which track.
Upon acceptance, registration for the conference (including payment) should be completed by November 1, 2011. Late registration fees will apply after this date.
If you wish to be considered for a partial/full waiver of conference fee, you should contact us no later than November 10, 2011.

Institutions, Narratives and Identities
A graduate student workshop at the University of Florida
February 18-19, 2012
http://workshopuf.wordpress.com/
The separate but parallel attempts to grapple with the issue of identity within both comparative politics and political theory offer tantalizing possibilities for collaboration. Comparative politics has been productive in uncovering those empirical markers emblematic of identity that are crucial for the patterning of political phenomena. As an antidote to univocal assertions, political theory offers pluralized narratives of identity formation. This workshop uses identity as a thematic focus to demonstrate the potential of collaboration between these subfields.
Over the past decade, practitioners within comparative politics have urged for deepening and updating theoretical concepts such as democracy, identity, and violence. In turn, political theorists have made strides to reconnect the subfield to its home discipline and the broader political world by reminding its practitioners that political theory has always been an inherently comparative enterprise. That the two subfields should be moving closer to one another - as evidenced by the emergence of comparative political theory - is no surprise. In many respects, both comparative politics and political theory trace their beginnings to ancient Greece. In ancient times, a theorist (theôros) was someone who traveled outside the confines of the polis to attend the religious festivals of other Greek cities and reported back the knowledge gained.
In order to facilitate this conversation, we invite abstracts that engage a broad range of thematic areas including, but not limited to, the following:
Methodological approaches to the study of identity
Psychoanalytic, semiotic, sociological approaches to identity
Spatio-temporal bounds to identity
Memory (short-long time periods), \"real\"/imagined, agent-structure relationships
Formal/informal Institutionalization of identity
Citizenship, democracy, civic-nationalism/ethno-nationalism, culture, modernization/industrialization
This workshop has been sponsored by the Raymond and Miriam Ehrlich Eminent Scholar Chair in Political Science. Please send abstracts no longer than 350 words, with your name and institutional affiliation to workshopuf@gmail.com. The deadline to submit abstracts is September 30th, 2011.

Dates: March 14 - 17, 2012

Description:
Scholars of the sub-national, national, and international predicaments of Black people in the U.S., Africa, the Caribbean, South/Central America, and elsewhere in the African Diaspora continue to examine questions related to those first raised by \"Black political science” in the late 1960s. We have greatly expanded beyond these assumptions, paradigms, theories, and methods to pursue 21st century questions and answers. To be sure, there are some elements of the global Black condition that have not fundamentally changed from the late 1960s, but most certainly there are elements that have – our task in creating new generations of \"Black political science” is to understand and explain such differences. Even with the emergence of a U.S. President, Barack Obama, who has African ancestry and the prospects for democratization in various regions of the world, most recently the North Africa and the Middle East, Black people (globally defined) still confront persistent North-South and other structures of inequality as driven by state interests, corporate/market forces, and civil societies motivated by internal and external imperatives.
One set of evolving questions are related to the persistent vestiges and new manifestations of \"neo-colonialism” as it has morphed into current forms of globalization and neoliberal economic restructuring; all of which continue to emanate out of a North-South underdevelopment divide. How are these relations further complicated by the lingering \"War on Terrorism” interests and alliances that pervade U.S./Western foreign policy-making and nation-building? Likewise, another evolving set of questions are related to the persistent needs and/or demands Black citizens and their allies have for democratic governance and responsiveness, economic redistribution, and social equity/equality as these needs and demands often collide with Black-led nation-states, sub-national territories, and municipalities driven by incumbency interests and the maintenance of elite regimes. One other set of evolving questions relate to expanding the boundaries of how global Blackness and social identity are defined/delimited along the lines of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, ideology, religion, and region; especially as such identities serve as the basis for group identity, mobilization for democratic participation, civic engagement, social movements, and policy reform.
The organizers of the 43rd Annual National Conference of Black Political Scientists invite research presentations – paper presentations, roundtables, and poster presentations – from researchers interested in the persistent and dynamic features of the Black condition and more broadly of the exercise of political power in the 21st century.

\n
\"From Meydan Tahrir to Wisconsin: Rethinking Revolution, Democracy and Citizenship\"
An interdisciplinary graduate student conference, hosted by the political theory graduate students in the Department of Government at Cornell University
April 27 - 28, 2012
From revolutionary awakenings in the Arab world to protests against austerity measures in Europe and assaults on labor rights in Wisconsin, a \"specter is haunting the world\" - the specter of democracy and equality. This conference aims to bring together a diverse group of graduate students to discuss the significance of these revolutionary mobilizations and moments of solidarity for political thought. How do unfolding events challenge us to reconsider political concepts such as democracy, revolution, and citizenship? In light of these historical developments, papers might address political possibilities and anxieties unleashed by the current revolutionary enthusiasm: To what extent are these demands for economic equality, labor rights, and democracy compatible with contemporary hegemony of (neo)liberalism? Does the Tea Party as a conservative social movement challenge our ideas regarding the content of democratic politics? Is it the attempt to weaken union rights in Wisconsin that represents an undermining of democratic citizenship, or the recall efforts that have followed them? When are \"rebels/protestors\" justified in claiming popular authority and taking up \"constituent power\"? How should we interpret the nationalist discourse and imagery evoked in revolutions? What is at stake in the tendency to present the Egyptian revolution as a radical break from the past, as a distinctively \"secular moment\"? What do transnational connections between the protestors in Tahrir Square and the public workers of Wisconsin tell us about revolutionary enthusiasm from afar, about democracy's 'witness', or about projection of democratic imagery and metaphor?
We seek papers that will engage a wide range of disciplines, including politics, sociology, developmental sociology, history, anthropology, and near eastern studies. In order to be considered, applicants should email their proposals to cornelltheoryconference@gmail.com by November 1, 2011. Proposals should include a two-page c.v. and a prospectus of 500-1000 words.
Decisions will be announced by January 15, 2012.
