Lehigh Carbon Community College will host Professor Mary Waters, sociologist from Harvard University, on Tuesday, March 17, at 4 p.m. in the Community Services Center at the main campus in Schnecksville.

She will speak on "Immigrants Dreams and American Realities: Race, Legal Status and the Integration of Immigrants and their Children." This talk is one of two given this year by Waters as part of the Eastern Sociological Society's Robin M. Williams Jr. Lectures.

Each year, the Robin M. Williams Jr. Lectureship Committee invites leading scholars to be considered for appointment as the Robin M. Williams Jr. lecturer.

The Eastern Sociological Society established the lectureship in 1992 to honor the many contributions Robin M. Williams, Jr. (1914-2006) made to the discipline and the society, particularly as founding editor of its journal, Sociological Forum, now in its 27th year.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information about this lecture, contact Professor Christine Bowditch at cbowditch@lccc.edu or 610-799-1755.
