      This is a surpassingly sad occasion. But it is a consolation to be able to commemorate Richard&amp;#x2019;s remarkable life and the rich legacy he left behind him. Amidst our grief, we can celebrate the lasting gifts Richard made to the world of scholarship and learning.
    
      Many of Richard&amp;#x2019;s colleagues and friends have traveled far to be here today. Many others, when they learned that I would be speaking, wrote to me to convey their distress at the news, to extol the virtues of the man they knew, and to express their gratitude for the gifts he gave them. In my remarks I will try to express some of the sentiments that they conveyed.

  <title>Gendering Work: The Masculinization of Nurse Anesthesia</title>

      Men and women are increasingly employed in gender atypical areas (Lindsay 2005Lindsay 2008; Williams 1993). While the feminization of men&amp;#x2019;s work&amp;#x2014;the movement of women into male-dominated occupations&amp;#x2014;has been the focus of much scholarly attention, this focus gives only a partial picture (Williams 1993). Much less is known about the masculinization of women&amp;#x2019;s work&amp;#x2014;the movement of men into women&amp;#x2019;s occupations&amp;#x2014;perhaps because it is less common (Jacobs 1993). There is literature focusing on the experiences of men employed in female-dominated occupations, but the case of men entering in large numbers&amp;#x2014;the process of masculinization of women&amp;#x2019;s work&amp;#x2014;has not been fully articulated.

  <title>“Securitizing” Canadian Policing: A New Policing Paradigm For the Post 9/11 Security State?</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    
	  Policing is being transformed and restructured in the modern world.... The key to the transformation is that policing, meaning the activity of making societies safe, is no longer carried out exclusively by governments. Indeed, it is an open question as to whether governments are even the primary providers. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, policing has been &amp;#x201C;multilateralized&amp;#x201D;: a host of nongovernmental groups have assumed responsibility for their own protection, and a host of nongovernmental agencies have under-taken to provide security services. Policing has entered a new era, an era characterized by a transformation in the governance of security.

  <title>The Practice of Defining Markets: A Comment on Charles W. Smith</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    
	It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to write a short comment based on Charles Smith&amp;#x2019;s article, &amp;#x201C;Markets as Definitional Practices&amp;#x201D; (2007). This is also an opportunity to present and discuss how markets can be understood. Smith, as is known, has written many interesting texts (e.g., Smith 1981; 1989) that deal with markets, and the current one is no exception.
      
	There are many things that I like with Smith&amp;#x2019;s work. I agree that the market is the most central &amp;#x201C;institution&amp;#x201D; of the economy, that the larger aim of economic sociology is to develop a theory of markets, and that ethnography is an indispensable strategy in this undertaking. He should also be praised for addressing markets in

      I greatly enjoy the invitation to respond to Charles Smith&amp;#x2019;s paper for several reasons. First, this is clearly an important, even path-breaking paper that pushes our thinking about markets beyond what we currently take for granted. Second, I have learned quite a bit from the paper about things I didn&amp;#x2019;t know existed and worked in the way they do &amp;#x2014; for example about the word/phrase Internet search engine auctions Charles Smith discusses. They illustrate the complex considerations and logics to which financial thinking can give rise when markets are transposed to new domains such as the web. A purely descriptive account of these developments would have been valuable in itself. But Charles Smith&amp;#x2019;s paper is not

      In addressing &amp;#x201C;Markets as Definitional Practices,&amp;#x201D; Charles W. Smith (2007) has rendered a valuable service to the study of community life. As Smith notes, he is not the first to take issue with those who would attempt to explain the marketplace by invoking models of economic exchange defined by profit maximization and related notions of rationality. Still, Charles Smith importantly emphasizes the dynamic, reflective, and interactive nature of human exchange.
    
      Adopting a constructionist viewpoint, Smith argues for the importance of locating marketplace activity in historically emergent and situationally achieved contexts that involve actors who not only take the viewpoint of the other (generalized

      Let me first acknowledge my deep appreciation to Professors Aspers, Knorr Cetina, and Prus for the time and energy that they put into their responses to my paper (Smith 2007).1 As each of them built on my paper in responding, so I will attempt to build on their comments. Though their comments overlap in many respects, the focus of each varies sufficiently that I will address each individually beginning with Prus, then Aspers and concluding with Knorr Cetina.
    
      Robert Prus, while accurately seeing my paper as supporting a &amp;#x201C;thoroughgoing constructionist/interactionist approach&amp;#x201D; to markets, seeks to relate it more specifically to the symbolic interactionism tradition of Herbert Blumer. He does so by

      Cruel but Not Unusual is a collection of readings on violence against women, children, and the aged in Canada. The book spans over 500 pages, has an introduction and conclusion by the editors, and is divided into four sections. Three of the four sections are customary for this topic, namely: violence on children, women, and the aged. The first section has been reserved for the study of violence and diversity. If any laurels are due to this book, it should be for the inclusion of the chapters on diversity.
    
      Within sections, authors explore different aspects of violence. There are two chapters on the aged, three on women, and five each on diversity and children for a total of 15 chapters. Even this

  <description>

      Risky Trade offers a thorough, if somewhat fragmented, analysis of the interplay between globalization, trade and travel, and infectious diseases. In addition to the now common observation that the increasingly globalized trade of commodities and travel of people leads to the spread of diseases, the book also describes the indirect ways by which economic globalization leads to ill health. Particularly, Kimball identifies pressures of international competition and dependence on imported commodities as major factors in recent local and international outbreaks.
    
      The book is divided into two parts. In Chapters 1&amp;#x2013;5, Kimball identifies the various links between globalization and ill health. In Chapters

      The New Economy: this peculiar phenomenon, hailed by some as a radical restructuring of economic processes and vilified by others as a deceptio visu akin to the South Sea Bubble, is generally considered to have had its funeral around 2001. Its former heralds have been its pallbearers too, resting now (though not necessarily in peace) in the common graveyard of past corporate delusions. Companies like Enron, WorldCom, and the many dotcoms which once winged public imagination have haunted in ghost-like fashion the courts of law (and the media) in the past years.
    
      The distinctions between heralds of a new economic era, con men, pallbearers, and spectral appearances have never been more blurred than in

    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    
      The recreation of midwifery in Ontario and its integration into the health care system in the 1990s have drawn the attention of policy makers and sociologists alike. The Ontario midwifery model served as a template for other Canadian jurisdictions, some of which have now established similar midwifery regulation and education programs. And yet, the path chosen by Ontario has not been free of criticism. Did Ontario&amp;#x2019;s new midwifery exclude Aboriginal midwives and international midwives of colour? Did this process give preference to white cultural competencies, to the exclusion of other ways of knowing?

For this purpose, he draws on works of the literary theorist Homi Bhaba, the cultural anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, the political scientist Timothy Mitchell, the political philosophers Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, and the theorists of decentred global

      In this compelling and accessible book, Dan Zuberi demonstrates the profound influence of social policy on the lives of the working poor and their families. Through a combination of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and social policy analysis, the study compares low-wage workers of two large hotel chains in Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington. Zuberi finds that even though they work for the same multinational corporation, workers experience systematically different lives depending on the social policy regime under which they live and work. By highlighting the effects of labour, social, and health policy differences between Canada and the United States, a picture emerges of greater

      Charles Tilly is an amazingly productive scholar. Since the late 1990s, he has published so many books that it has become difficult for even the most committed political sociologist to keep up. Considering that he is so prolific, sceptics might believe that Tilly has put quantity ahead of quality. Fortunately, my reading of his newest book, Democracy, suggests that this is not the case. Over the years, Tilly has accumulated impressive historical and theoretical knowledge, and this new book is yet another testimony of his lasting contribution to the fields of historical, comparative, and political sociology.
    
      Democracy is an ambitious book that sketches a comprehensive sociological theory of

      Those of us who study popular culture are sometimes defensive about our work. After all, we are not splitting atoms, curing cancer, or eradicating domestic violence. Indeed, we can easily imagine that we address a reader prone to dismiss our interests as frivolous and trifling. We typically try to alleviate this anxiety in one of two ways. Either we assert that popular culture is valuable and intelligible on its own grounds (rendering problematic the issue of why it then needs to be elucidated by obscure academic discourse) or we argue that there is no real difference between so-called high and popular culture (rendering problematic the continued use of the terms as analytically distinct and useful concepts

  <title>The First Year Out: Understanding American Teens after High School (review)</title>

      Tim Clydesdale&amp;#x2019;s The First Year Out is a highly readable, compassionate, and empathetic look at the lives of young people as they leave high school and enter universities, colleges, vocational schools, and employment. With a more rigorous theoretical framework and analysis, it could have been a brilliant book.
    
      Early on, Clydesdale sets himself the goal of describing the unique American moral culture that shapes the lives and attitudes of mainstream American teens. He asks how teens go from highly structured lives as high school students to more autonomous post-high-school activities, and how these transitions are influenced by their parents, their peers, their educational experiences, their faith

      Metta Spencer is best known among sociologists as an activist and as the author of a popular introductory textbook, Foundations of Modern Sociology. The highlights of the applied side of her career to date include the book under review and her editorship of Peace Magazine (

A specialist in peace studies, she was inspired to write about commercial American television out of a desire to improve the quality of popular entertainment: &amp;#x201C;Indeed, of all conceivable ways of fostering a global florescence of civilization, I think the most promising approach is to improve entertainment....

  <title>Sociology Confronts the Holocaust: Memories and Identities in Jewish Diasporas (review)</title>

      This book makes a valuable contribution to the area of Holocaust Studies, and also to Migration, Diasporic, Gender, and modern Jewish Studies. It extends earlier efforts by Jack Nusan Porter and Helen Fein to develop a sociology of the Holocaust and genocide. Written from a sociological perspective (mainly by academic sociologists), most of the articles are infused with the idioms and sensibilities of post-modernism and cultural studies, and a concern with the analysis of discourse and the construction and uses of historical memory.
    
      I found all of the articles, the major essays and the commentaries, informative and insightful. It should be noted that while there are references to Israel and

      The central interpretive paradox confronting any proposed historical sociology of ancient Indian Buddhism is easily identified. How did a religious movement that originated in and cultivated a stance of radical world-renunciation successfully manage a developmental course that permitted an enduringly functional social presence? Receiving its classical formulation in Max Weber&amp;#x2019;s Hinduismus und Buddhismus (1916), this question of &amp;#x201C;accommodative transformation&amp;#x201D; has since elicited a range of important clarifications and nuanced observations, notably in the contributions of scholars such as Dutt, Lamotte, Nakamura, Thapar, Chakravarti, Gombrich, and Schopen. That the various explanatory syntheses currently on
