About the Department Affiliates Program
The Department Affiliates Program provides a department-level link between academic institutions and the American Sociological Association. The Affiliate year runs from August 1st to July 31st. Department Affiliates receive a broad range of benefits, including Chairlink--an electronic newsletter exclusively for department chairpersons--and advance notice of calls for papers, meetings, and funding opportunities. Joining ASA as a Department Affiliate advances the role of departments and the discipline more generally.
Individual social capital is a well-understood and long-used concept in sociology. The related concept of organizational capital suggests that an organization, distinct from the individuals within it, has resources and networks that predict outcomes. In organizations with strong social capital, there is better knowledge sharing, higher levels of trust in relationships (both within and between organizations), more common frames of reference, a larger proportion of shared goals, lower turnover rates, and greater organizational continuity. Departments can build their organizational capital by becoming an ASA Department Affiliate.
You can also download the Application and mail, fax, or email the application to the ASA. visit this page for more information about the cost of the program
