The submission period is closed.
Participation Policies
- Individuals may not be listed on more than two sessions on the program. This includes all participant roles. A participant is anyone listed as a presenting author, author, presenter, presider/table presider, discussant, panelist, moderator, leader, or any similar substantive role on the program. Session organizers and mentors are exempt from this policy unless they appear on the same session in another role. Participants who appear on more than two sessions must decide on which sessions to participate and inform the session organizer of the session from which they wish to withdraw and [email protected] promptly.
- Only one single-authored paper presentation is permitted. Authors who have more than one single-authored paper accepted must decide which paper will be presented and inform the session organizer of the session from which they wish to withdraw immediately.
- All participants on the Annual Meeting program must register for the meeting. A participant is anyone listed as a presenting author, author, mentor, presenter, presider/table presider, discussant, panelist, moderator, leader, or any similar substantive role on the program. For multiple-authored papers, non-presenting authors (if thusly noted during submission) and who will not be attending the Annual Meeting are not required to register.
- Individuals are encouraged to hold an ASA membership, although not required, to submit a proposal or register for the Annual Meeting. Individuals do need an ASA account to submit and/or register. If you do not have an ASA account, you may create one here. Contact [email protected] for questions about creating an ASA account.
- ASA will offer the opportunity for remote presentation, with paid registration, for people who have a disability and people who have a medical condition for which a medical professional would advise against in-person attendance. Please visit the Access for All page for the full remote presentation policy.
- Complimentary registration may be granted to an individual who 1. would not normally attend the meeting, 2. is invited to present or participate on a scheduled session (persons making their own submission for consideration are not eligible), 3. works outside the discipline/field, and 4. is not an ASA member or ever held an ASA membership. Individuals must meet all criteria listed. You can request a complimentary registration for a qualified presenter by emailing [email protected] before July 1, 2024.
Diversity
Much of the vitality of the ASA flows from its diverse membership. With this in mind, it is the policy of the ASA to include people of color, women, sociologists from small institutions or who work in government, business, and other applied settings, and international scholars in all of its programmatic activities and in the business of the Association. It is crucially important that organizers work to create panels that reflect these principles of diversity, equity and inclusion.
