For those of you planning your trip to Chicago for IR 6.0 next week,
below is the current extended weather forecast (all temperatures in
degrees Fahrenheit). While it only goes to Friday, if this past week
was any indication the temperatures should be seasonable, with highs in
the mid-60s to mid-70s and lows in the mid-40s to mid-50s. I doubt
there will be need for heavy coats, etc.
I've found the most accurate forecasts online here:

You may have heard that Chicago's nickname is "the Windy City" and that
it was given it in reference to cold winter winds. That is actually not
likely true, see http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-win1.htm. However,
given the prevalence of skyscrapers and other tall buildings, there are
spots throughout the city (including on my own campus, in front of the
28-story tall University Hall) that do indeed feel like wind tunnels.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of QUALITATIVE SOCIOLOGY on "Constructing Workers"
"Constructing Workers": A special issue focused on efforts to
organize workers in contingent labor contracts who are often not
considered employees. Increasing numbers of workers fit this
description, and both unions and community organizations have sought,
in various efforts, to help
them organize for rights and benefits due workers with employee
status. How do these groups organize? With what models? With what
resources? How do they construct "workers" in such a way as to make
contingent workers and contingent work less contingent? How do
workers see themselves and their work? We would be interested in
articles dealing with any of the following topics, or other related
ones.
* migrant and day labor * domestic worker organizing * sex worker
organizing * workfare organizing * sweatshop organizing * worker
centers * unemployed workers * retail worker organizing * organizing
in industries that have become or are becoming more contingent *
transnational labor identities (i.e., transposition of labor politics
from home to host countries by immigrant laborers) * gender, race,
ethnicity, and their intersections with organizing appeals * the
negotiation of union-community relations * contingent workers'
encounters with the state
