Resources

Last Updated: January 6, 2023

Please see below for information on resources of interest to section members. These listings are updated upon request.

Please note the new fund for graduate travel! Through the generosity of Diane Kaplan and the Kaplan family, the section has established a new fund: the Howard B. Kaplan Memorial Award in Medical Sociology. Howard was a core member of the section for many years. He not only was an eminent scholar in areas relating to longitudinal studies of the self concept and health but also was instrumental in establishing new journals and a series of handbooks in our field. In honor of Howard’s pathbreaking contributions to medical sociology, the Kaplan family has established this award to support graduate students doing research in one of the substantive areas that defined Howard’s distinguished academic career. It will provide one graduate student each year funds up to $500 to attend the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association. Priority will be given to graduate students who are working in Howard’s areas of mental health, self concept and health, or deviance. If you would like to nominate one of your students (self-nominations from graduate students will also be accepted), please send a CV and a brief cover letter of nomination to [email protected]
