  <title><![CDATA[X: The Independent Variable - ASA Undergraduate Newsletter]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Produced by the American Sociological Association,&nbsp;<em>Independent Variable&nbsp;</em>is a newsletter tailored especially for undergraduates. Our goal is to give you a fresh view on sociology, bringing you the latest news and findings from the field four times a year. We look for articles that connect sociology to current events, that demonstrate the empirical and theoretical power of the discipline, and that can help you succeed as a student. We are always looking for great content and new ideas, so if you have suggestions, comments, questions, or if you just want to say hi, send an email to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:apap@asanet.org?subject=Independent%20Variable%20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>apap@asanet.org</strong></a>.&nbsp;<br />

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
