DIVERSITY, STANDARDIZATION AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

This book is dedicated to Marianne de Jong-Otte from all those involved in the Sociology Intensive Programme network. Present as a founder-member of the network in 1992, Marianne has administered the Intensive Programme ever since. Her patience, good humour and excellent organizational skills have meant the Intensive Programme always runs smoothly, the academic staff are kept on the straight and narrow, the students have a fantastic time, and we all return home safe and well. In every sense Marianne has been the mother of the Intensive Programme. It will be very hard to run a successful Intensive Programme without you! From all of us, Marianne thank you very much!
