Personal Statement:

I am honored to be nominated again (I lost in 2008). From my terms on Council and Publications I know ASA’s potential for helping members. I am eager to be part of that; members need it. First, I would like to see a Job Seeker’s Bill of Rights. Looking for work is stressful enough, but common practices make it worse. Too often we fail to update unsuccessful applicants when we invite some people for interviews. Even successful applicants get stressed when we pressure them to decide on an offer before they know all their options. If elected, I will propose a task force to address these issues. If Council approves, the ASA could require employers who use the ASA Job Bank to agree to respect applicants’ rights. This is just one way to tap ASA’s potential for helping members.

Personal Statement:

I am deeply honored to be nominated for President of the ASA. If elected, I will live up to this honor by building on the strengths of our discipline. The current historical moment is radically” altering the lives of the populations we study and care about. As such, this critical moment offers us, as sociologists, the opportunity to contribute from our broad tent of perspectives, institutions, methods, locations, and substantive foci to inform public conversations that can help reverse harmful policies. This requires that we, as an organization, strengthen bridges between our scholarly work and policymaking, between our discipline and the broader scientific community, and between U.S. scholarship and that produced in other parts of the world. I have dedicated my professional career to fostering these links. If elected president, I will work to expand these efforts by fully engaging our diverse membership in this crucial endeavor.

Personal Statement:

I am honored to be nominated and to have the opportunity to give back to the community that welcomed me, a student from socialist Yugoslavia, twenty-five years ago. My biography inspires my research on how the transformations of communism, capitalism, and globalization shape people’s economic lives. It also motivates my work as equity advisor and associate vice provost at UC Irvine to reduce gender and racial salary disparities, improve hiring inclusivity, and foster student mentoring. Having served the ASA on Council-at-large and in several sections, I care deeply about making our association a valuable, and more affordable, resource for all of our very diverse members. At a time of growing inequality, polarization, and doubt in science, I am committed to further ASA’s role in supporting and promoting sociological knowledge, teaching and social justice efforts. Thank you for all the work in sociology that you do, and for considering my candidacy.

Personal Statement:

I have spent my scholarly career studying racial dynamics inside and outside of schools. Professionally, I have worked hard to ensure that the organizations I am a part of are more humane and attentive to questions of equity and inclusion. This includes expanding opportunities for junior scholars, students, and underrepresented groups in the discipline and in educational institutions at all levels. It also includes involvement in a range of ASA committees (Council, Program Committees, FAD, ASA Awards Committee, and section council positions) in which I have gained understanding of the association’s important work and how crucial it is to have many voices included in conversations about ASA business. Thus, my interest in this position is to continue this work and to help ensure that the association is serving all members equally. Moreover, I am also committed to helping ASA increase the impact and visibility of sociological research beyond the academy.

Personal Statement:

I have been an active member of several ASA sections: Latina/o Sociology, Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Collective Behavior and Social Movements, and Sociology of Education. I am currently Council Member for the Latina/o Sociology section, and member of CBSM’s Membership, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee. I prioritize synergy and community across sections. I am particularly committed to bridging the gap between the study of race/ethnicity and that of social movements and education. For example, I organized and moderated a joint session with Collective Behavior and Social Movements and Latina/o Sociology on Latina/o social movements at the 2016 ASA meetings. I chaired the 2020 Sociology of Education Association conference where I emphasized the inclusivity of works by underrepresented scholars. I am running for Member at Large because I am dedicated to being a part of decision-making processes that strengthen the Association, more broadly.

Personal Statement:

As a professional organization, ASA is tasked with helping its members forge connections—with other scholars, with new ideas, and with the journalists, policymakers, and practitioners who would benefit from knowing more about their work. My goal as an ASA Council Member is to support that connection-driven mission and to make those connections as accessible as possible to graduate students, junior scholars, and scholars from systematically marginalized groups. In doing so, I would build on insights from my research on the (unfair) power of privilege in organizations and on the challenges that many students and scholars face in getting the support they need. As an active member of and frequent volunteer with multiple ASA sections (Education; Family; Children and Youth; Race, Gender, and Class; Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility; Culture; and Social Psychology), I would also draw on my experience building connections across sub-disciplines to better support my Council work.

I am extremely thankful to have been nominated for the ASA At-Large Council member position. I have served on the ASA in various capacities (ASA Committee on Committees, Chair of ASA’s Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities, various ASA awards committees, organizer) as well as numerous leadership positions on SSS, ESS and SSSP. The various roles I have played in these organizations over the decades and across the country have allowed me to develop both the skills and contacts to address the mission of ASA to advance “sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good” and do so in a manner that is inclusive, democratic and transparent. It would be an honor to serve my colleagues as a council member as we review and formulate ASA policies in these trying political times.

Personal Statement:

As a community-engaged scholar, my work focuses on naming and changing legacies of invisibility and inequality inside and outside of academia. This includes challenging institutional hierarchies and the unequal valorization of specific forms of knowledge production and academic scholarship. Drawing inspiration from public sociologists, along with community-based and grassroots activists, my scholarship combines qualitative research with participation in community struggles from bilingual education to educational access, immigrant justice and sanctuary. Trained in sociology and working within Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies, I am committed to teaching, community-engagement, public sociology, and instituting changes to support individuals and communities who have been made to feel on the margins of the field and within the ASA.

Personal Statement:

As a council member, I would have three goals. First, to expand the mentorship opportunities available to members at all career stages. I have helped launch mentorship programs in the CBSM section and at my institution, and found that graduate students to associate professors alike benefit from mentorship. Second, to ensure that ASA represents its diverse membership. While ASA has made excellent strides, the discipline needs leadership on issues such as preparing graduate students for non-academic employment. I organized a workshop focusing on non-academic employment at last year’s meeting. The nearly 100 attendees underscored the need for ASA to help members navigate a changing job market. Finally, to encourage networking and collaboration across the sub-areas. As grant funding-pools shrink and section finances grow tighter, members/section leaders would benefit from structured meet-ups that facilitate intellectual community-building and problem-solving. I have experience organizing such forums as section chair and at my institution.

Personal Statement:

I am very honored to be nominated for this position. As a scholar of race, ethnicity, immigration, urban inequality and public policy, I have been deeply troubled by the increasing divisions and inequity both within our society and around the world. As educators and scholars, I believe we have a critical role to play in shaping a better and more inclusive future. As sociologists, our research and expertise are directly relevant to many national debates, including environmental, housing, immigration, and social policy. If elected, I look forward to working with the ASA council to communicate important research findings to the public, community leaders and policymakers, to highlight the range, relevance and rigor of sociological research, and to defend the academic principles of truth and evidence in an era of increasing fake news, distortion of facts and disdain for science.

Personal Statement:

I am honored to be nominated for the position of ASA Council Member-at-Large. I have been attending ASA for nearly twenty years, and am committed to supporting the work of the organization and its members. If elected I hope to promote broad inclusion and diversity in the organization’s decision-making. I also hope to strengthen ties between sociological research, social policies, and professional practice, and between communities and the scholars who study them. I would like to reach out to sociologists in other fields, like public policy and education, to have them become active members of ASA, which I believe can strengthen the impact that sociology has in the world.

Personal Statement:

It would be an honor to serve my colleagues on the Committee on Committees. It is essential that our committees within the ASA reflect the diversity of the societies we study, and the diversity of our discipline. And, it is equally important that our committee composition fairly and equitably distribute the intellectual and relational labor that keeps our professional association running smoothly. These principles of diversification and equity will guide my participation on this committee.

I seek this position to highlight the many members of the profession that are shedding a light on how to be a responsible and dedicated Sociologist.

I am currently a Visiting Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Georgetown and an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh. Before my time at Georgetown, I served as Director of Urban Studies, Administration of Justice and Legal Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on urban sociology, race, inequality, urban ethnography, and the interaction orders of institutional and neighborhood settings. My scholarship cuts across disciplinary boundaries, as evidenced by my secondary appointments at the University of Pittsburgh in the Policy School (GSPIA), the School of Social Work, Honors College, History, and Urban Studies. I have extensive academic and administrative experience, which I believe is suitable to serve on the Committee on Committees.

Personal Statement:

My interest in serving in the Committee on Nominations stems from my commitment to furthering the ASA mission “to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good.” To thrive, ASA needs to incorporate people from different backgrounds who bring new ideas and perspectives and a more complex and critical lens. As a member of this committee, I am committed to advancing this mission by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, and the representation of different voices within ASA.

Personal Statement:

I am seeking office in the Committee on Nominations in order to help diversify the ASA, both in terms of leadership as well as membership, nationally and globally. In addition to considering under-represented populations in the United States as future leaders, I would also like to globalize ASA in terms of increasing international membership. As a Muslim woman born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey who is now a recent immigrant to the United States, I think that I will also contribute to the diversification I envision. In addition, the critical stand I take in my sociological research will help bring in the perspective of under-represented regions and peoples to American sociology.

Personal Statement:

I am grateful for the nomination to the ASA 2020 Committee on Nominations. I am a medical sociologist and health demographer at Indiana University, with experience in public health policy and administration. In my work, I study the structural forces that contribute to social inequalities in health. I am particularly interested in isolating when sociodemographic inequalities emerge, and how they are reproduced, so that policies can be designed to ameliorate them. I primarily teach medical sociology courses to students interested in entering health care fields. Over the past decade, my research in health care settings has fostered important collaborations outside of the university. For example, I serve on the Indiana Maternal Mortality Review Committee, which is designed to assess factors contributing to increases in maternal mortality. These experiences have solidified my commitment to connecting with the broader community to both inform our research and translate our findings.

Personal Statement:

I have been a member of ASA for many years and benefited tremendously from being part of an organization that uses scholarship to examine society’s most pressing issues. I would now like to serve as a member of the Committee on Nominations to assist in facilitating the process by which ASA officers are nominated. Specifically, I aim to help foster inclusiveness in the nomination process by advocating for nominees that reflect the immense diversity of our association. I bring my experience from serving in other ASA capacities and organizations and look forward to working with other members of the Committee to ensure we have a robust list of candidates for ASA positions.

Personal Statement:

I view The Committee on Nominations as the body which assures a good flow of folks for moving our association. I am delighted to contribute to that flow by working to identify and recruit candidates for our offices and committees who a) represent the full range of our membership in its epistemic and social diversities; b) offer capacities to recognize not only excellence but ways to extend sociology’s ever more critical place in articulating public goods; c) move our research, teaching, and institutional and public engagement in ways that recognize the digital world’s significance; and d) mark a proper place for US Sociology in globalizing knowledge. With my experience as both movement activist and academic administrator, I am familiar with the challenge and means of recognizing and recruiting good people to do important jobs. I will try to do that here too.

Personal Statement:

A commitment to social justice, including diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education, is the unifying thread across my research, teaching, and service – a dedication I have pursued in increasingly defined ways over my life. Having participated in significant faculty governance and administrative work at my home institution and in many formal dimensions of ASA life, I would be excited to bring my skills, energy, and insights to a new role with the ASA Committee on Nominations. I interpret this committee as vital to ensuring the ASA’s declared commitment to “engage, recruit, include and acknowledge” a broadly diverse membership be taken up as more than rhetorical ideal. Proof of this commitment is evidenced most clearly in practice and outcomes, and I will readily embrace my responsibility to pursue these charges if elected.

Personal Statement:

I view serving on the ASA Committee on Nominations to be a gatekeeper role, and whenever I have had the privilege of occupying one of these roles, I have sought to diversify the representation of the institution. This is true whether I am chairing a search at my home university, naming the committees who choose ASA section session topics or select awards, or making a host of other decisions. Diversity, in the ASA context, means race, gender, class and LGBTQ status, and secondarily, institutional profile, methodological inclination and other meaningful categories. Our institutions are enriched by the panoply of humanity they serve. In my view, what else is (even this small amount of) power for?

Personal Statement:

As a former editor of Social Psychology Quarterly, I take the pedagogical role of editors very seriously. This how we support the multiple diversities of sociologists and should be a basis of editorial recruitment. Even if most articles are not published, given publishing constraints, all have merit. Every editor has the responsibility to point to this merit and recommend improvements. I saw myself as a mentor for younger scholars, instructors at small schools, and first-gen academics. This mentoring was reflected in published articles and in outcome letters, many of which were three to six pages. I described SPQ as “a journal for readers.” As a result, clear and compelling writing is crucial. While known for ethnographies writing, I am proud of my articles on learning to read in graduate school and in teaching our departmental scholarly writing class. I will bring these concerns to the Publications Committee, if elected.

Personal Statement:

I would be honored to serve as a member of the ASA Committee on Publications. I have two principles with respect to this committee. First, as sociologists, our written work represents the lifeblood of our profession and the historical record of our advancing knowledge. Second, we must remain mindful that the diversity of our scholarship is a strength, but harnessing that strength takes focused work. This work includes supporting publishing outlets as well as addressing barriers that may impede scholarly contributions. As a member of the Committee on Publications, I would keep these principles at the forefront. These principles would be pursued as someone with some intellectual breadth: culture, economic sociology, labor, organizations, professions, social networks, with current projects on formerly incarcerated Americans. I combine this with the perspective of an active researcher and reviewer who has experience as an editor, editorial board member, and university press publications committee member.

I would be pleased to work for the ASA as it engages with these issues and supports academic publishing.

Personal Statement:

I have been an active professional citizen in ASA for over a decade, having served on several committees, organized panels, and helped build the section on Consumers and Consumption. My service as Chair of the Publications Committee of the Community and Urban Sociology section gave me valuable knowledge about the complexities of ASA journals’ publication contracts and the association’s role in providing oversight for these journals. Additionally, I have followed discussions about how to make our research more accessible to the public via open access outlets and pre-publication dissemination. As a member of the ASA Committee on Publications, I would build on this experience to help the association support the publication of outstanding research through its flagship journals and to work toward making our research more widely available to diverse publics.
