Greetings from the Sociology Student Association!
This is to announce our next SSA meeting: Wednesday, September 15th, Noon, University Hall (UH) 418
Topic of meeting:
Based on student enthusiasm for the topic, we are going to explore the SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE ARLINGTON STADIUM PROPOSAL. Student led research teams will look at historical trends in proposal and levy voting in Arlington, will look at the economic impacts of similar stadium proposals in other North American cities, will explore the neighborhoods that will be displaced in terms of number of households and the extent to which there is equivalent housing in the Arlington area for these displaced residents. In addition, some surveys and/or in-depth interviews will be conducted in the neighborhoods proposed to be affected by the new stadium.
One of the short-term goals of this research is for students to write guest columns and/or editorials regarding their findings in area newspapers (e.g., Shorthorn, Arlington Star Telegram) before the November 2nd elections.
You will get real-world, hands-on experience learning and doing both quantitative and qualitative research that can potentially make a difference on November 2nd.
WHAT: Research Planning and Interest Meeting
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept 15, Noon
WHERE: UH 418 WHO: All majors, undergrad and grad students, welcomed!
