Larry W. Isaac
LARRY ISAAC is Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Affiliate Professor of American Studies, and Research Fellow at the Center for Nashville Studies, Vanderbilt University. He teaches courses on social movements, political sociology, historical sociology of Gilded Age America, and America in the Sixties. His research agenda is currently focused in three main arenas: (1) private elite militias as windows on class/status formation, gender repair, and state-building in Gilded Age America (two National Endowment for the Humanities awards have supported this work), (2) the early Nashville civil rights movement (supported by Vanderbilt University Center for Nashville Studies and College of Arts & Science), and (3) culture and politics of class identity. Larry recently finished a term as president of the Southern Sociological Society and is currently a National Endowment for the Humanities research fellow.

Graham C. Kinloch
Dr. Graham Kinloch, who joined the Sociology Department in 1970 and served as Chair of the Department in 1975-1976, retired from the faculty in March 2006. His colleagues, supported by the College of Social Sciences Dean and FSU Provost and President, awarded him Emeritus Professor status, which he richly deserves. Graham will be missed not only because he taught social theory, race/ethnic relations, and large sections of introduction to sociology with never a complaint. He also helped our sociology majors plan and graduate and, best of all, made us all laugh. Graham's great sense of humor brought a relief to tedium of and challenges of running a large, complex Department and College. But the golf course is not ready for Dr. Kinloch yet, as he is now serving as College of Social Sciences Associate Dean for Student Affairs. You can still find him on the 5th floor of the Bellamy Building every Thursday morning, enjoying his weekly doughnut. | ||

Patricia Yancey Martin
Patricia Yancey Martin retired in December of 2007, but, so far, it's hard to detect the change! On sabbatical in the Fall of 2007, she spent a semester as Distinguished Feminist Marie Jahoda Professor of Gender (in Sociology and Gender Studies) at Ruhr University in Bochum Germany where she taught a graduate seminar (with Professor Ilse Lenz) and traveled across Germany and Holland lecturing--at Hannover, Darmstadt, Kassel, and Neijegen. In March-June 2008, she was in Gothenburg, Sweden, on a Fulbright Fellowship teaching "Gender & Diversity in Organizations" and "Field Methods for Studying Organizations.” Next, she taught graduate seminars in Sociology (Fall 2008) on "Gender & Organizations" and “Gender” (with Professor Barbara Risman) at the University of Illinois-Chicago. In 2010, she taught a graduate course in Sociology on “Organizational Field Methods” at Trento University in Italy. She recently completed three-year terms on the Publications Committee and Jessie Bernard Award Committee of the American Sociological Association. She is President-elect of Sociologists for Women in Society and will serve as President in 2012. Copies of her recent work can be obtained from her webpage, at this link: http://www.sociology.fsu.edu/people/martin/ | ||

Charles Nam
Charles Nam, an octogenarian, hasn't had time for the rocking chair yet. He keeps an office on the 6th floor of Bellamy and is involved in four research projects -- family definitions and family structure (with Kathi Tillman), time series of occupational SES (with Monica Boyd), multiple medical causes of death (with Ike Eberstein), and cause-of-death variations in mortality crossovers (with Ike Eberstein). In June he published his first piece of fiction, an historical mystery novel called The Golden Door. The book can also be ordered online from Barnes & Noble or Amazon or Borders. He dabbles in genealogy, reads a lot, and tries to stay healthy.

Jim Orcutt
Retirement has meant more free time to read, write, travel, and enjoy family activities, including playtime with our newest addition, Lilly, the pound puppy. On the professional front, I plan to get some papers out the door in the coming months and to offer my alcohol and drug problems course via distance learning as an adjunct at FSU. I’ll be doing some occasional gigs with the neighborhood band and continuing my volunteer work as web manager for the Leon H.S. tennis website. When summer arrives, you will find me in Minnesota, just a few mouse clicks away from students and friends at jorcutt@fsu.edu. You can also visit my webpage at http://orcutt.socprobs.net. | ||

Dr. Turner is Professor of Sociology at Vanderbilt University where he is working on a 5-year, $4 million NIH-funded study entitled "Health Disparities and the Stress Hypothesis." Dr. Turner studies stress and mental health/substance use problems, psychiatric epidemiology, and risk and protective factors for mental health and substance use problems.
