Yo!
I am a Univ. of Minnesota USASer who is in need of a little assistance. You
see, I have just started writing my senior research paper and it is due on
Monday. I know, I know . . . it's my own fault, but I've been busy working
on USAS stuff and academics just get in my way. The research is on
privilege and diversity within student movements and I am using USAS as a
case-study. I am missing some information on USAS itself and would love it
if ANYONE could help me. I have pasted a partial outline below -- if you
have any information that you could send me over email, I'd be forever
indebted. Please send me an email if you have anything:
food_lovin@hotmail.com
I have most of the info I need off the web. I've visited the USAS website,
WRC website, Canadian SAS website, UNITE website, etc. I just need to fill
in a few gaps . . .
USAS OUTLINE
-History
-the sweatshop movement, sweat-free schools campaign
-The origins of USAS (UNITE, etc.) [NEED MORE INFO]
-Mission, Purpose (briefly)
-Structure
-Alliance building committee
-International solidarity committee
-Caucus committee
-WRC
-History, mission, composition, relationship with universities,
relationship with students
-Campaigns
-Kukdong
-New Era
-Dada, BJ&B (brief)
-Communication
-listservs
-conferences
-newsletter
-Transition to next section: (Personal Experience: privilege and diversity
within USAS)
One more thing. Has anyone noticed any patterns or alliances among schools
or conferences with respect to USAS campaign success? For instance, in the
Big 10, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa have all suspended New Era contracts.
I wouldn't be surprised to see other Big 10ers drop soon either. I
attribute this to intraconference information-sharing. Anyone notice
anything else?
Thanks,
Joe Larsen
