Section Information Portal
Sections are officially-recognized assemblies of ASA members who share interests in a specific sociological topic. Each section facilitates relationships and work amongst its members as well as providing an opportunity for active participation in The Association.
Sections are a great way to become involved in ASA. In addition to
staying current in special interest areas, they provide excellent
networking opportunities. Sections produce newsletters, which provide
news about section members, relevant research, issue debates, grant
opportunities, book announcements, meeting announcements, and and
much more! Sections also sponsor a large number of sessions during
the ASA Annual Meetings.
