John Stanfield is the Avalon Professor and Chair of the Sociology Department of
Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. Two of his major publications are: Race and
Ethnicity in Research Methods, (an edited volume with Rutledge Dennis, Sage, 1993), and
"Ethnic Modeling in Qualitative Research" (a chapter in The Handbook of
Qualitative Research, Sage, 1994). Dr. Stanfield will explore ways to develop more
effective measures of the utilization of social science research to empower people,
especially poor people. He will consider the power and authority relations of
universities and government agencies to communities, and researchers to targeted
populations. He will also discuss models for advancing collaboration between
researchers and participants.
