Early this December, the College of Arts and Sciences hosted a special book party to celebrate the recent publications of IU faculty. It was a wonderful opportunity to recognize the hard work and intellectual contributions of our colleagues.
Our department was exceptionally well-represented at the event, which featured work by three of our own:
- Hyeyoung Kwon – Language Brokers
- Anna Mueller – Life Under Pressure
- Celene Reynolds – Unlawful Advances
Dean Van Kooten even singled out Hyeyoung's book for discussion because of the many awards it won last year at ASA. Her book won the Outstanding Book Award from the ASA Section on Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility; the Best Book Award from the ASA Section on Asia and Asian Americans; the Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Outstanding Book Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems; and an Honorable Mention for the ASA Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities’ Oliver Cromwell Cox Book Award.
