Sociological Society Publishes Faculty Member's Book Review
Published 11.22.2010
A member of the sociology faculty at Pennsylvania College of Technology was published recently in Sociological Viewpoints, the journal of the Pennsylvania Sociological Society.
Vinay Bahl, associate professor of sociology, wrote a review of the book "Hate Crimes and Ethnoviolence: The History, Current Affairs, and Future of Discrimination in America" by Howard J. Ehrlich.
Bahl's review was published in the Fall 2010 issue of Sociological Viewpoints. The peer-reviewed journal is typically published once a year by the society. The Pennsylvania Sociological Society provides a forum for communications for sociologists working in diverse settings: education, industry, government, voluntary associations or solo practitioners.
Bahl has taught sociology at Penn College since 1996. She holds a doctorate from the State University of New York at Binghamton. In 2002-03, she was invited as a visiting scholar to the College de France, Paris. She was a visiting scholar at Amsterdam's International Institute of Asian Studies in 2004.
Bahl has published three books (one co-edited) and many articles on subjects that include industrialization, the working class, the caste system, the women's movement, music, South Asian women's clothes and Third World women.
