SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR CRAIG REINARMAN HONORED FOR DISTINGUISHED TEACHING IN SOCIAL SCIENCES AT UC SANTA CRUZ

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SANTA CRUZ, CA--Craig Reinarman, an associate professor of sociology and a fellow of Stevenson College, has received the Division of Social Sciences 1994 Distinguished Teaching Award. The award, which recognizes outstanding undergraduate teaching in the social sciences, carries with it a $500 cash prize and a "golden apple."

"It is doubtful that anyone in the division has ever taught so many students so well in such a wide range of courses over a five- year period of affiliation with the campus," said William Domhoff, acting dean of the Division of Social Sciences. "And all the while, Craig has maintained a strong record of scholarly publication."

Reinarman's undergraduate courses include Introduction to Sociology, Sociology of Law, Drugs and Society, and Law, Crime, and Social Justice. At the graduate level, Reinarman teaches courses on contemporary sociological theory, social policy, and political consciousness. He consistently teaches two or three times more students than the campus average, and student evaluations of his teaching are consistently enthusiastic, said Domhoff.

The annual awards were established in 1991 by former dean Eugene Garcia to recognize faculty who are especially accomplished undergraduate teachers in the division. Recipients are chosen by a committee of faculty, students, and alumni.
