WSU’s Department of Sociology will start its Centennial Celebration by honoring three pioneering women in sociology: former WSU Sociology professors Lois DeFleur, Sandra Ball-Rokeach, and Marilyn Ihinger-Tallman, each of whom joined the Sociology department in the 1970s. These inspiring sociologists explore their knowledge and experiences in the forthcoming book, We Few, We Band of Sisters: Three Post-WWII Academics.

Join the Sociology Department for a Fireside Chat with Academic Sisterhood authors Ball-Rokeach, DeFleur, and Tallman for the kick-off event on September 27th, from 4-6pm in the CUB Junior Ballroom. Doors open at 3:45pm, and the talk will begin at 4pm. A reception with hors d’oeuvres will begin at 5pm.
