Parity-Violating Electron Scattering: How Strange a Future

Abstract

I discuss several physics issues that can be addressed through the present and future program of parity-violating electron scattering measurements. In particular, I focus on strange quark form factors, hadronic effects in electroweak radiative corrections, and physics beyond the Standard Model.
