[Situated in the high desert of southeastern Oregon, Crane Union High serves some of the
most remote homes and ranches in the state. Crane serves a district of some 7500 square
miles and draws its student body from as far as 150 miles away, yet has fewer than one
hundred students in an average year. This is one of the oldest residential public schools
in the U.S., and its student body, like the school itself, is unique. For three long days, our
camera crews recorded student life at and around the school and supplied small video
cameras to the students to shoot additional footage of their own. The result is this
“snapshot” of a small and fascinating community.]

in critically short supply here. And as rural populations grow older and poorer, the task

itself may be in jeopardy, and this program confronts these problems head-on. Northwest

[Agricultural workers have played a significant role in Oregon’s economic success for
more than 140 years, but their contributions have gone largely unrecognized. And while
these farmworkers, cannery workers and tree planters are vital to the state’s economy,
few know much about these peoples’ occupations and experiences, or even the people
themselves. Combining extensive archival material with personal accounts, scholarly
commentary and an original sound track, “The Oregon Story: Agricultural Workers”
portrays the diverse history of this sometimes-migrant population from the late 1800’s to
the present day. Northwest Regional EMMY - “Best Director”]

101) Workshop: Undergraduate Research Training Early and Often
Carla Howery, Deputy Executive Officer, asa: This workshop will showcase strategies for introducing data analysis in the lower division sociology curriculum. At present, the “research sequence” occurs late in the major, and is taken even later by students who are transfer students, who declare the major late, or who postpone taking research courses. There are many reasons for offering research experiences earlier in the curriculum — to give a more accurate and more exciting picture about the field of sociology and the inquiry process; to attract majors, especially quantitatively oriented students in other majors or undecided about a major; to better connect lower and upper division courses, especially the methods sequence; and to better prepare students to undertake research-related positions upon graduation. The group will share ideas about successful ways to introduce research experiences using available data sets and east-to-use data analysis programs to meet the learning goals of basic courses. There is no fee.
