The article presents information on various developments related to sociology. The Dick Goldensohn Fund annually awards several grants to publications, reporters, editors, free-lance writers, or other working on innovative journalistic projects. Although any amount up to $5,000 will be considered, the typical grant is for around $1,500. In order to continue the spirit of the late reporter and editor Dick Goldensohn, the Fund's goal is to foster journalistic undertakings that investigate abuses of the public trust, spotlight overlooked aspects of contemporary life, or promote social, political, and economic justice. In another development, the James Jerome Hill Reference Library will award a number of grants of up to $2,000 to support research in the James J. Hill and Louis W. Hill papers. The deadline for applications is October 1, 1991, and the awards will be announced in early 1992.
