The Postgrad Cafe 2007 was joined by guest speaker Professor Gary Alan Fine on Thursday 10th May. Gary Fine, Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University, has published widely on an extremely broad range of topics including high school debating teams, restaurant work, fantasy games, little league baseball, and meterologists. His areas of interest include social psychology, sociology of culture, sociology of science, qualitative sociology, social theory, and collective behaviour. He has been in Cardiff visiting QUALITI and also presented at the school seminar series. For our PostGrad Cafe meeting he presented "Sociology of the Local: Bringing the Small Group Back In".
Professor Gary Fine was pleased with the turnout and the thoughtful and wide-ranging questions posed by those who attended.
