When Socrates and his students engaged in the art of reasoned discourse some 2,000 years ago in the streets of Athens, little could they have imagined that it would eventually lead to inquiry and debate between individuals not even within arm's distance of one another, but perhaps thousands of miles apart and accomplished via the internet.

Sociology professor Michelle Wolkomir and Centenary graduate Jennifer Powers '04 have contributed an article to the 2011 edition of Oxford University's edited volume, Inside Social Life: Readings in Sociological Psychology and Microsociology. The book is the best-selling reader in social psychology, and, through their inclusion, Wolkomir and Powers make a contribution to the field that will likely become required reading for many students of social psychology.

Wolkomir and Powers originally wrote the article, "Helping Women and Protecting the Self in an Abortion Clinic," as a follow-up to original research conducted by Powers as part of her senior sociology project. The work was first published in 2007 in the peer-reviewed journal Qualitative Sociology. "This kind of publication demonstrates the scholarship possible through Centenary's opportunities for one-on-one student-faculty collaboration," said Wolkomir.

Powers went on from Centenary to complete a master's degree in public policy at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
