Last week, scholars from across the country gathered in Philadelphia to attend the American Sociological Association’s 118th annual conference. The wide-scale event featured nearly 600 programmatic sections and welcomed roughly 5,000 attendees, and the University of Michigan Department of Sociology was well-represented both in scholarly presenters and award winners.
Listed below are the well-deserved awards that U-M Sociology community members received for their work. Congratulations to all ASA winners and attendees!
