ASA is also the world’s third most powerful sociology organization after ISA and ESA. As a result, Americans see the annual meetings of the ASA with a lot of pride. Providence, Rhode Island, hosted the first ASA meeting. The 118th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association provides a forum for academics and other professionals interested in studying society to meet, share information, and debate emerging research and societal practice trends.

ASA pays respects to the land where the meeting will be hosted in 2023

ASA recognizes that they are present in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded land of the Lenapehoking, which includes groups that are both diasporic and descendants of the Lenape people. ASA recognizes that academic institutions and the nation-state were built upon and continue to conduct exclusions and erasures of Indigenous Peoples. This is something that has been going on from the beginning.

This acknowledgment by ASA shows a commitment to starting the process of cooperating to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism and to recognize the hundreds of Indigenous Nations of the US that continue to resist, live, and uphold their sacred relations across their lands. This acknowledgment also recognizes those working to dismantle the legacies of settler colonialism. ASA also pays respect to Indigenous elders who have lived in the past, are living in the present, and will live in the future, and to people who have cared for our land over the years.

Opportunity for sociology graduates and students

ASA Meeting serves as a portal for job seekers looking to expand their connections among the sociological community. In addition, sociologists who attend the meeting can meet ASA office bearers and national-level scholars.
