JOIE

(Just a Workshop on Organizations, Institutions, and Economic Sociology)

Fall 2001

Below is our schedule for the fall semester. By tradition, we read the papers in advance and, after a brief introduction by the authors, we open the floor for discussion. All are welcome.

All meetings will take place in Wallace Hall Room 165, at 12:15. Bring your lunch if you like. We will distribute electronic copies of the papers in advance. Hard copies are available from Donna DeFrancisco (defran@princeton.edu).
