We
encourage all American Sociological Association members to join the
Section on the History of Sociology. ASA members can join the section
upon renewing their ASA membership through the online membership system;
alternatively, you can fill out the section
membership form, print it out, and fax it to the ASA at (202)
638-0882. If you are not a member of ASA but are interested in the work
of the History of Sociology section, consider joining ASA so you can
become a member of the Section. More information about ASA membership,
including a frequently asked questions document, is available on the join
or renew page. Section dues are payable by check or charge and are
only $10 per year, or $5 if you are a student member of ASA. Section
membership includes a subscription to the section newsletter, Timelines.
In an effort to increase our membership, and to get the
work of HoS out to graduate students and the work of more graduate
students into HoS, the Section invites contributions from members to
support student membership (we are not allowed to use our ASA funding
for this purpose). If you know graduate students who would be
interested, we continue to encourage you to sponsor memberships for
them directly. However, for members who do not know any, this is an
opportunity to sponsor graduate students elsewhere who might have a lot
to offer, and for whom HoS could be an important opportunity. Over the
winter, we will be contacting graduate departments across the country
and asking them to recommend Section membership to their students,
particularly those enrolled in Classical Theory courses, and the
Section will offer to support as many of those memberships as we can.
Student membership is only $5; we welcome contributions in any multiple
of this amount to support the student membership endeavor. Checks for
contributions can be made out to Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur,
Secretary-Treasurer of the Section, and mailed to her at Department of
Sociology, Hamilton College, 198 College Hill Road, Clinton, NY, 13323;
they will be forwarded on to ASA as we establish a fund for this
purpose. Questions? Email marthur@hamilton.edu.
