The event is free and open to the public. ASA Headquarters is located right near McPherson Square and Farragut Metro stations. The event is always very exciting with high-level presentations and great discussion. It's also a great way for graduate students to meet Professor Lamont and to network with her and other great sociologists.

Professor Lamont will discuss her forthcoming book, "Getting Respect: Dealing with Stigma and Discrimination in the United States, Brazil, and Israel."
