The 121st ASA Annual Meeting will be held August 7-11, 2026 in New York. The Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association provides the opportunity for professionals involved in the scientific study of society to share knowledge and new directions in research and practice. Nearly 600 programmatic sessions are convened that provide a scholarly outlet for more than 3,000 research papers, over 4,500 presenters, and 5,000 attendees.
Theme
Each year, ASA’s president chooses a theme on which to focus some of the programming for the ASA Annual Meeting—a tradition that ensures our meetings reflect the rich diversity of perspectives and subject matter in our discipline. President-Elect Shelley J. Correll has chosen the theme “Disrupting the Status Quo: Putting Sociology to Work for a More Equitable Society.” Read the full theme statement.
Program Committee
The Program Committee is charged with developing a program of invited sessions that will service the diverse discipline of sociology and broaden participation by sociologists in the United States and around the world.
