2007 Annual Meeting | Section Activities
Section Activities
ASA Sections contribute an important segment to the Annual Meeting Program. Section sessions and activities at the Annual Meeting are interspersed throughout the four-day schedule. These specialized sessions range in format from formal paper presentations to panels and discussion roundtables and are open to all meeting attendees.
The number of sessions allocated to each Section is based on the size of the Section membership. Over 180 sessions/meetings are scheduled. Sections provide a valuable way to meet colleagues interested in similar sociological specialties and find a small “home” in a large meeting.
Section Schedule
The primary day for each Section’s program is listed below. Sections whose programs are too large to fit onto one day (*starred below) will have the overflow accommodated on an adjacent day. Check the online Searchable Program when it is posted for specific information on section-sponsored sessions.

Section Receptions
In addition to sponsoring substantive program sessions, ASA Sections often host receptions for their section members during the Annual Meeting. These informal social events are primarily held in the evenings on the first and third days of the meeting, and all members of a sponsoring section are welcome to attend. Sometimes several sections will co-host a joint reception, which doubles or triples the fun!
