Links To Sociology

The American Sociological Association (ASA) is the discipline's professional organization. The ASA publishes journals, runs conferences, maintains mailing lists, provides an umbrella for smaller groups of sociologists to organize as sections (e.g., Sociology of Education Section, Methodology Section), and more. Membership information as well as on-going activities are available at the ASA web-site.


The International Sociological Association Research Committee 28 on Social Stratification and Social Mobility is a very active group of researchers. Drawn together by their interest in the complexity of social mobility and a commitment to comparative analyses, these researchers work in one of the most active segments of the field. Conferences are held twice a year; historically conferences in RC28 have been actual working sessions, and researchers have collaborated in studying the variability and similarity of mobility processes across the globe.


Through its Sociology Program, the National Science Foundation plays an important role in developing and furthering the agenda of the discipline.
