With our annual conference being held near North Carolina’s Research Triangle, we have an excellent opportunity to engage with sociologists who occupy various positions within multiple organizations. We are excited to explore the many ways that sociologists engage with the discipline through their work at universities, colleges, non-profit organizations, private sector positions, and government organizations.  How we ‘do’ sociology extends to our research, teaching, actions and community involvement.  This inclusive conference will allow us to engage with the many ways our work as sociologists, both inside and outside of the classroom has a meaningful impact on our communities at large.
