Final Day of #ASA24 one final presentation to end my time in Baltimore
Any Baltimore recommendations?
It’ll be my first time visiting this week when I attend the American Studies Association conference ( #ASA24? #ASA2024?)
Just left #ASA24 ... and man, I wish more people were still on Twitter. It's just easier having all the people in one place to chat with!
At ASA this year, I saw many dear friends, I had many invigorating conversations, and I heard many fascinating ideas.
But as usual when it comes to photos, it was mostly just food. Plus a giant metal circle for some variety. #ASA24 #ASA2024
Social theory teaching hack: if you sent your grad students to the grad student free book giveaway, you can just skip going over contract theory in Week 1 as they’ll all intuitively understand that Hobbes was right and Rousseau was wrong about the state of nature. #ASA24 #ASA2024
Es-tu à Montréal pour #ASA24?
We’re talking labor markets, reenfranchisement, and public safety this morning.
presenting today @ #ASA2024 #ASA24 the 3rd part of our work on social sandwiching and well being in later life.
a summary:
Going to #ASA2024 #ASA24? I'm presenting Monday @ 4pm in an ASA #Family session titled "Queer Families" on the link between sexual satisfaction and fertility desires during #COVID19 with the National Couples' Health And Time study data!
Come check it out or ask me how to use the data!
If anyone is going to #ASA2024 #ASA24 please toot about it and use the hashtag so I can vicariously learn about the cool things you're learning about!
Memorial Session in Honor of Harrison White Sat, August 10, 6:00 to 7:00pm, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 513F Session Submission Type: Invited Session Description Harrison White passed away on May 19. He was a path-breaking and path-setting figure in the discipline of sociology, and a contributor of many foundational works across the social sciences. He was a valued inspiration, mentor and friend to many. The session will include comments from panelists, and it will be open to audience members who wish to share reflections about Harrison.
50804 - Race, Gender, Class, and Sexuality during Disastrous Times (Climate Crises and COVID) Tue, August 13, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 510C Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description This paper session will focus on race, class, gender, and sexuality during our current disastrous times, with attention to more acute events related to climate change like hurricanes, flooding, or the wildfires that we have seen in California and Hawaii but also slower moving disasters like COVID. Papers addressing the themes of environmental justice, disaster resilience, asset-based approaches, community engagement, and/or equity would be especially of interest. Papers with a U.S. or international focus are equally welcomed, and papers that clearly connect to and define disasters are especially desired.

Politics of Artificial Intelligence (Co-sponsored by Section on Science, Knowledge, and Technology) Sun, August 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 511D Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description In October 2022, the White House released what it described as a Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights. In its opening passage, the blueprint states “Among the great challenges posed to democracy today is the use of technology, data, and automated systems in ways that threaten the rights of the American public.” Meanwhile, social scientists have started to address the role of algorithms and AI in changing power relations in the U.S. and worldwide. Much focus in these analyses is the question of government regulation or lack of regulations, and political campaigning. The goal of this panel is to initiate some conversation among sociologists about the role of AI and politics today. Some of the topics that we aim to address include ...
The Sociology of Artificial Intelligence Tue, August 13, 10:00 to 11:30am, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 519B Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description Artificial Intelligence is in the news quite a bit these days. We’re told that it will change the future, that it will revolutionize fields as different from one another as computer science, music, economics, and art. This could be hype or there could be something to it, but how can we know? After all, sociologists typically study actual people, not artificial ones. So what does it look like to study artificial intelligence from a sociological vantage point anyway? This panel explores the emerging sociology of artificial intelligence in both substantive and methodological terms. It seeks papers that raise methodological questions about how to do the work of studying AI and papers that provide examples of what such work entails. This could involve examining representations of or discourse about AI ...
Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Social Problems and Inequalities (Co-sponsored by Mathematical Sociology) Mon, August 12, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 512H Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description This session invites paper submissions that leverage mathematical and computational models and methods (including, but not limited to, network analysis, agent-based models, text analysis, machine learning, and mathematical modeling) to the study of social problems and inequalities, broadly conceived (e.g., segregation, persistent poverty, racial and gender inequality, environmental disasters and their consequences, health care, discrimination, political polarization, crime, the impact of new technologies, imperialism, etc.). Paper submissions that develop new computational or mathematical methods (or that introduce new models or extensions) to the study of social problems and inequalities are also welcomed.

Advances in Data and Methods for Collective Behavior and Social Movements Research Mon, August 12, 10:00 to 11:30am, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 513C Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description Collective behavior and social movements (CBSM) was among the first social science subfields to embrace the revolution in untraditional (and/or “big”) data and computational methods. Since then, the sources and types of data and methods have expanded enormously as scholars have made creative use of data from social media and other digitized sources. It has been a few years since CBSM scholars have taken stock of advances in data and methods at the annual ASA meeting, so this session seeks to highlight innovative and productive uses of data and cutting-edge methods. Examples include, but are not limited to, newly digitized archives, content from social media and increasingly politicized so-called alt-tech platforms, fine-grained spatial observations ...

Formal Models of Duality in Culture and Society (Co-sponsored by Section on Sociology of Culture) Sun, August 11, 8:00 to 9:30am, Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Floor: Level 5, 511E Session Submission Type: Paper Session Description Marking fifty years since its publication, Ron Breiger’s 1974 paper on “The Duality of Persons and Groups” continues to serve as the foundation of a lively research agenda across various fields in sociology. During the last five decades, scholars have exploited and generalized Breiger’s duality idea “beyond persons and groups” to apply to all settings featuring a dual co-constitution of entities across different orders of organization. This session, jointly sponsored by the Mathematical Sociology and Sociology of Culture Sections, seeks papers pushing Breiger’s duality idea forward both in terms of formal methodological innovation and substantive application to core issues in cultural analysis and the measurement of culture broadly conceived. ...

First: Computational and Mathematical Approaches to Qualitative and Quantitative Data (a *stellar* lineup)
It's still some months away, but I've gone ahead and set-up my appointment calendar for #ASA2024 / #ASA24. If you are interested in meeting, use the link to book a day and time.
Logo for Children & Youth Studies Caucus, designed by Megan Montague Cash. Periphery of blue circle features all-caps text: CHILDREN & YOUTH STUDIES CAUCUS. In clear-line cartoon style, the center of circle features a flying book (like a magic carpet) being ridden by a smiling, tan-complexioned girl, whose dark hair is waving to the left, indicating motion of flight. Sky around her is orange (as if sunrise or sunset), and a few puffy clouds are visible.
