Abstract: There is no established rule for the frequency of conference committees in Congress. This paper uses findings about conference outcomes to develop an informal theory of their use. The theory is tested using data from the 75th-107th Congresses. |

Abstract: This study offers several original insights into House speakers' selections of majority caucus conference delegates during the period 1979-2004. First, it demonstrates that when conference delegations proved unrepresentative of the majority caucus, they were almost always more ideologically extreme, suggesting a systematic directional bias to speakers' decisions. Second, the study incorporates more actors into the analysis. Controlling for such conventional factors as membership on originating committees and subcommittees, tenure in the House, and support for the bill in question, it adds variables measuring the preferences of the president and the Senate in order to more fully model the heightened partisan nature of the national governing process. The study employs both aggregated and disaggregated data, as well as difference of medians tests and logistic regressions. The results indicate that partisan factors from both inside and outside the House chamber have increasingly influenced speakers' choices of majority caucus conference delegates. In short, speakers more routinely encroached upon standing committees' traditional prerogatives when determining who represent their caucus in conference negotiations. |

Abstract: I explore the possibility that the ideological composition of conference delegations may contribute to policy outcomes that diverge from the preferences of chambers. I derive a series of propositions from a formal model and empirically test them. |

"The Legacy of the Annual Black Studies Conference:Reflections onThree Decades of Scholarship and Activism" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, Atlanta Hilton, Charlotte, NC, Oct 02, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p207892_index.html>Publication Type: Individual Paper
Abstract: For 30 years at a community college in Chicago IL, Professor Armstead Allen has assembled top scholars in the field of African American Studies to discuss the events of the day and solutions therein. While a top notch conference is not unusual unto itself, what makes this conference unique is that it is a) held at a community college (thereby making it the longest running campus based Black Studies Conference in the Nation) and b) allows students and the local community access to scholars and individuals whom would otherwise be unaccessible. This paper will explore the impact of such a gathering on a junior college atmosphere, the community it services and the field of African American Studies. |
