Candidates for President-Elect

Nancy López

Present Professional Position
Professor, Department of Sociology and Criminology, The University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque, NM, 2001-present; Director/co-founder, Institute for the Study of “Race” and Social Justice

Personal Statement:
Saludos! Greetings! As a U.S.-born Black Latina, daughter of Dominican immigrants with a second grade education, I grew up in public housing. I graduated from a de facto segregated vocational high school in NYC. I have a record of leadership for action, including: 1.) director/co-founder, Institute for the Study of “Race” & Social Justice; 2.) establishing the “U.S. & Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Power” requirement; 3.) engaging federal agencies on the importance of not flattening the difference between race and ethnicity in OMB standards for civil rights (Federal Registry comment deadline: 4/12/23); 4.) ethnic studies education and health research practice partnership; 5.) intersectionality for student success in STEM at HSIs as communities of practice; 6.) introducing NM legislation collecting parent educational attainment in P-20 for intersectional praxis. I remain committed to advancing ASA’s mission through catalyzing individual/institutional critical reflexivity in academic and community audiences for advancing equity and justice.

Adia Harvey Wingfield

Present Professional Position
Mary Tileston Hemenway Professor of Arts & Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis, 2015-present

Personal Statement:
I am delighted to be a candidate for ASA president! I’ve been a member since 2004 and have gained so much from the organization. As someone firmly committed to public scholarship, my goal if elected would be to help position ASA to offer research-based, empirical insights to policymakers and community organizations wrestling with pressing social issues. Keeping in mind that not all of us are at research-intensive universities, however, another goal would be to enhance the resources and professional development opportunities available to our colleagues at liberal arts and community colleges as well as those in the private sector and teaching at high schools. (I first discovered sociology when I took it as an elective my junior year in high school, so I am a firm believer in early exposure to the discipline.) Sociology deserves a wide reach, and as ASA president I would work to establish this.

Candidates for Vice President-Elect

Allison J. Pugh

Present Professional Position
Professor of Sociology and Chair, Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality, University of Virginia, 2017-present

Personal Statement:
I am honored to be nominated to be vice president of the ASA, which has so much potential to advance the interests of its members. If elected, my goals would be to deploy resources to advance the position of under-represented populations; to help the ASA stitch together its various communities through enhanced section collaborations; and to promote the extraordinary public relevance of sociology. In my history with ASA, I am most proud of helping, as Culture chair, to organize all ASA sections to donate their reception funds (unused due to COVID) to the Minority Fellowship Program. As VP, my energies would be focused on making ASA work for all of us, across the wide range of research, teaching, applied and practice-based positions that sociologists hold. I also would like ASA to do more to highlight sociological takes on contemporary public issues. We all do better when the discipline does.

Vincent Roscigno

Present Professional Position
Distinguished Professor of Arts & Sciences in Sociology, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, 2011-present

Personal Statement:
I am tremendously honored to be nominated for the position of Vice President of the ASA—an organization that is a “big tent,” reflecting those of diverse backgrounds as well as distinct approaches to the “doing” of sociology. This is precisely what makes the field and the work we do so exciting in my view. If elected, I will work hard to ensure that the many faces of our field will find a supportive, nurturing organization with a forward-thinking leadership and open ear. This includes those underrepresented in our ranks, individuals at research- and teaching-intensive institutions, senior and especially junior scholars and graduate students, U.S. and international scholars, and those in academia and applied arenas. Such inclusivity has always been a guiding principle in my personal and academic life and is something that I would carry into all formal and informal responsibilities of the Vice President.

Freeden Blume Oeur

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor of Sociology and Education, Tufts University, Medford, MA, 2018-present

Personal Statement:
I’m honored to run for ASA Council Member-at-Large. My relationship with ASA has changed a lot since I began graduate school nearly 20 years ago. At the start of my career, the professionalization side of our work did not come easy, and I felt out of place at conferences. But these experiences gave me a greater appreciation for what our discipline can do to support graduate students and scholars from marginalized backgrounds—with mentoring, preparing for careers in and out of the academy, and more—which has been central to my service work in ASA and which I would hope to continue doing with ASA Council. I am also especially interested in finding ways to support our colleagues from two-year and underrepresented institutions. In general, I would be excited to work with our colleagues to build a discipline that is more just, humane, creative, and insurgent; and an organization in ASA that is more accessible and responsive to the needs of our members. Thank you!

Personal Statement:
I have been fortunate to engage in service for our professional organization on both committees and as chair of a section. It involves work, to be sure, but it is also rewarding to participate in activity that is working for a larger good. ASA brings together sociologists from across different settings and statuses; should I be elected I would work to ensure that ASA addresses the needs of all sociologists in each of the institutional settings that employ us.

Nitsan Chorev

Present Professional Position
Harmon Family Professor of Sociology and International and Public Affairs, Brown University

Personal Statement:
Last year I was the chair of the ASA Comparative and Historical Sociology section. As Chair, I encountered significant grievances by members of the section, which the council of the section has been trying its best to resolve. Some of the issues are specific to the section, but others are a reflection of the experience at the ASA more generally. If elected, I will utilize important lessons I’ve learned from last year to try to contribute to the effort of making the association as a whole an intellectually-engaging, relevant and welcoming community.

Wendy D. Roth

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, 2019 – present

Personal Statement:
I think of ASA as my primary intellectual home and community and I’d like to help more people think of it that way. I’ve always seen ASA as a “big tent” that can accommodate lots of different perspectives and approaches, and promoting inclusion is very important to me. Particularly as more professional connections are made virtually and membership in professional organizations drops, ASA needs to think about what it uniquely offers that makes the cost of membership worthwhile. I’ve been involved in many different ASA committees and offices over the years, so I feel knowledgeable about the organization and committed to promoting its health. I also still remember being new to it and trying to find my way, and I’d like to help make ASA feel welcoming, especially for students and marginalized communities. I’m very honored to have been nominated for this role.

Frederick F. Wherry

Present Professional Position
Vice-Dean, Diversity & Inclusion; Office of the Dean of Faculty (July 1, 2022- ); The Townsend Martin, Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology and Affiliated Faculty in African-American Studies (2017- )

Personal Statement:
I have experience in elected office as the 2022-23 president of the Eastern Sociological Society and as the 2018 president of the Social Science History Association. At ESS, I led the implementation of a new pricing system so that people from high wealth universities paid higher fees than those from moderate and low-wealth universities. We also implemented new finance controls to ensure accountability and affordability, while changing our website interfaces and submission system. I also have a healthy appreciation for the various constituencies that make up the American Sociological Association and the need to make sure that the Association serves all its members, and that the members believe this to be the case. My academic work deals with questions of economic justice and has been featured in public-facing venues and policy debates regarding student debt cancellation, payday lending, credit visibility, and the financial inclusion of racial minorities and immigrants.

Earl Wright II

Present Professional Position
Professor of Sociology, Rhodes College, 2020 – Present

Personal Statement:
I am seeking this position because I believe in “paying it forward.” Throughout my career I’ve benefitted from forward thinking senior colleagues in elected positions who’ve used their wisdom and discipline specific organizational and professional knowledge to, as best they could, clear the path for those behind them as they advanced the discipline. I learned from those women and men the importance of being present and being counted. Even more, I learned it was incumbent upon our “talented tenth” to assume positions of leadership despite our hesitancy to do so sometimes. Since then, I have followed their path as the president of the Association of Social and Behavioral Scientists, Mid-South Sociological Association, Association of Black Sociologists, and Southern Sociological Society. I am seeking this position to be a part of a team that stewards this discipline into the next generation with clearheaded vision and lessons learned from the past.

Kesha S. Moore

Present Professional Position
Research Manager, Thurgood Marshall Institute, New York, NY, 2022- present

Personal Statement:
As an applied sociologist working in a non-academic institution, I am interested in serving on the Committee on Committees to help expand the diversity of sociologists serving on ASA Committees. I was an Associate Professor of Sociology at Drew University, an undergraduate teaching institution, for several years before taking my current research position at the Thurgood Marshall Institute (TMI), an interdisciplinary think tank for the Legal Defense Fund (LDF). My scholarly agenda at Drew and TMI engages sociological theory and research to reduce racial inequalities and address complex and pressing social problems (i.e., mass incarceration, educational equity, urban gentrification). I find this work deeply satisfying, as I am committed to using my skills as a sociologist to increase social justice in our nation. Should I be elected, I will seek to recommend proven leaders and socially committed scholars from diverse backgrounds to serve the ASA, as I do.

Amber R. Crowell

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor of Sociology, California State University, Fresno, 2021-present

Personal Statement:
I am seeking out this office as a first-generation scholar and woman of color who represents the experiences of faculty at regional minority-serving institutions that serve first-generation students of color. I am eager to bring this perspective to the governance of the ASA to advance the ASA’s goal of making the discipline more diverse, inclusive, and equitable for all who do sociology in a wide variety of institutional, public, and community settings. As faculty at a regional, teaching-intensive public institution that drives more inclusive access to higher education, I am deeply familiar with the barriers to being included professionally in the discipline and also with the opportunities for growth and new directions. I am also a public scholar and engage in community-based/community-led research and community organizing, and therefore hope to add support to the organization’s growing appreciation for public scholarship and social action in this role.

Carol L. Glasser

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor of Sociology, Minnesota State University, Mankato, 2014- current

Personal Statement:
As a public sociologist I am passionate about supporting social justice efforts through community engaged research. As a teacher I am passionate about developing my students’ sociological imagination with hands-on, project-based, community-engaged learning. As a professional I am passionate about elevating my colleagues by bringing their work to new audiences. I have done this through organizing a lecture series about social justice on my own campus and a national Animals & Society (A&S) colloquium series through the A&S Section of the ASA. The pride I feel in elevating and acknowledging the work of others makes this an ideal committee for me to serve on. I currently serve with ASA as Chair of the A&S Section and as an Advisory Board member to the Sociology Action Network. I enjoy my service at the national level and hope to keep serving the ASA community and elevating my colleagues in this role.

Sadie Pendaz-Foster

Present Professional Position
Tenure-track Sociology Instructor, Inver Hills Community College, 2021-present

Personal Statement:
I was pleasantly surprised with a nomination to the ASA Committee on Committees in the capacity of representing a 2-year college. In considering this nomination, I realized that the type of work of the Committee on Committees is exactly the kind of work for which I have spent the past decades of my career as a Sociologist. I love to help organize things and have strong networks of affiliation through my other work in professional organizations, especially the Sociologists of Minnesota and the Midwest Sociological Society. I feel eminently qualified to serve in this type of position and would embrace such an opportunity to bring my experience in other professional sociology organizations and on my campus to ASA in such a position. I bring a high-level attention to detail, combined with the ability to think about the big picture, and I would love to demonstrate that in this role.

Monica C. Bell

Present Professional Position
Professor of Law & Associate Professor of Sociology, Yale University, 2022-present

Personal Statement:
I am honored to be nominated for the ASA Nominating Committee. This year, I served on the nominating committee for the Theory Section. Last year, as part of my duties as a member of the Council, I chaired the nominating committee for the Sociology of Law Section. Through those experiences, I learned about many of the challenges that confront us in ASA in trying to put together slates of candidates who are diverse in many ways, with respect to race, gender, institution, geographic location, and more – while also convincing people to respond positively to the invitation to run. I have tried to be intentional in brainstorming and recruiting candidates, engaging in reflexivity about potential biases, not limiting the inquiry to candidates I already know at institutions with which I am familiar. Should I be elected, I will use this same deliberate approach.

D’Lane R. Compton

Present Professional Position
Professor of Sociology, University of New Orleans, 2019-current

Personal Statement:
I have been committed to serving ASA throughout my career. As a graduate student I helped to organize the social psychological sections and Group Processes meetings and served as graduate representative to the section. During my early career, I contributed most often to various section award committees and to further organize pre-conferences for sexualities and social psychology. Further, I served as council members for both the social psychology section and sexualities sections. Via these roles, I have gained knowledge of the field, established scholarly networks, and developed an understanding of the more bureaucratic and business operations of ASA. Regarding my role on the nominations committee, I expect to advocate for representation from the smaller sections and smaller populations of scholars with particular attention to diversity of thought, location, and identities.

Present Professional Position

Personal Statement:
It would be an honor to serve on the ASA Nominating Committee. Participating in the selection of members to stand for election for the most prominent positions in the national society, and thus in our discipline is an important task that I do not take lightly. As someone who has been a member of the ASA for over a decade, and who is committed to issues of social justice and racial and gender inclusion, I am hopeful that in my role as committee member I can continue to work towards the goal of making our leadership reflect the ranks of our members.

Kimberly A. Goyette

Present Professional Position
Professor of Sociology, Temple University

Personal Statement:
As a former chair of a sociology department and in my work with the American Sociological Association thus far, I have tried to include as many voices as possible in deliberations over policies and practices. I believe this diversity leads to robust and innovative organizations. If elected to serve on the nominations committee, I will bring this commitment to include less represented members to this work.

Nadia Y. Kim

Present Professional Position
Professor of Asian & Asian American Studies (affiliated, Sociology), 2007-present.

Personal Statement:
I have served on the Nominating Committee before (but long ago in 2012-13) and I found this to be one of the most important ASA roles, given that it decides the annual ballot for elected Officers (if needed), Council members-at-large, and committee members. Based, too, on my experience on the ASA Committee on Committees, on the Task Force on the State of the Art on Sociological Scholarship on Race, and on the Local Program Committee of the 2022 Los Angeles meeting (panel on the “riots” 30 years later), it’s more important than ever to remember that the ASA is the face of the discipline to the world. I am committed to placing sociologists and practitioners on the ballot who represent various intellectual and methodological approaches, types of institutions, social locations, professional and public-facing experience, and who recognize that, given the political turmoil all around us, that the discipline and the university are in a moment of reckoning.

Personal Statement:
I am honored to be considered for a position on the Nominating Committee. I have benefited from services provided by the American Sociological Association for over 25 years, and I am happy to serve the organization in any way that I can. My recent experience chairing of the Collective Behavior and Social Movements section, and also chairing the section’s nomination’s committee prepare me for service on this particular committee. My many years as a journal editor (13 years!) also have provided me with wide-ranging network ties that I can tap to help recruit nominees for various ASA positions.

Dawne Marie Mouzon

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University (2021-present)

Personal Statement:
I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University, where I study racial discrimination, aging, family, and mental health among Black Americans. ASA is near and dear to my heart. I was an ASA Minority Fellow as a doctoral student (MFP; Cohort #35) and recently completed a three-year term on the ASA-MFP Advisory Panel. I have served as an editorial board member of 3 sociology journals in the past 3 years (Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Sociological Forum, and Society and Mental Health), and have held other ASA section leadership roles as well. As a former member on the Nominations Committee for the ASA Sociology of the Family Section, I would welcome the opportunity to again help to promote the voices of my fellow scholars. If selected, it would be rewarding to contribute further service to the organization that helped to launch my career.

Simón Eduardo Weffer-Elizondo

Present Professional Position
Director of DEI, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences & Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino Studies, Northern Illinois University, 2022-present

Personal Statement:
I am honored and humbled to be nominated to this position. I think that my experience having received my degrees from private R1 institutions and working at both a brand new R1 (UC Merced) and R2 (NIU) provides me with a different perspective that will benefit the discussion in the nomination committee. I also think my extensive work in the DEI field, as well as with the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program (as a panel chair, reviewer, and Conference Co-Chair), and my time on the Board of Directors for the ACLU of Illinois provide valuable perspectives on the multiple dimensions of intersectionality that we should consider when examining nominations.

Present Professional Position

Personal Statement:
I am honored to have the opportunity to be considered for the ASA Publications Committee. If elected to serve, I would bring experience as a former chair of the publications committee for the ASA Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities (which included oversight of the SREM journal Sociology of Race and Ethnicity), as well as service on the SRE Editorial Board. I also offer extensive administrative experience from two decades of service as department chair and associate dean for academic administration. As a publications committee member, I would work to provide both oversight and support for editors and journals, while promoting guiding values of innovation, excellence, diversity, equity, and inclusion. I also believe that submission to an ASA journal should be an intellectually engaging experience for authors and will encourage an ethic of development. Not every manuscript can or should be published, but every manuscript can be improved.

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor of Sociology, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, 2019-present

Personal Statement:
I would like to be elected to be part of the ASA publication’s committee, so I can help to make the ASA journals more accessible to all types of people and knowledge. As a Latina Immigrant academic, who has been a member of ASA since the year 2000, I would like to appoint a more diverse set of editors and Council editors to help transform the ASA journals accessibility to a broader set of scholars of all backgrounds. I would also like to promote the publication of more diverse set of issues that are usually considered too specific or too narrow, but that indeed do affect the whole society. I believe that I can provide this new and fresh perspective which can help transform the field of sociology to become more accessible, not just to all types of scholars, but also to all types of new knowledge.

I have had the pleasure to serve as a presider, presenter, and organizer of ASA sessions and I have worked on two section graduate paper award committees—the Section on Race and Ethnic Minorities and the Sociology of Education section. I also served on the Editorial Board for the Sociology of Education journal. I look forward to the opportunity to work on behalf of the discipline.

Zakiya Luna

Present Professional Position
Associate Professor/Dean’s Distinguished Professorial Scholar, Department of Sociology, Washington University in St Louis, 2021-current

Personal Statement:
I have served in various service roles in my departments and throughout the American Sociological Association and Sociologists for Women in Society. If elected I will continue in my typical committee member approach of being active and asking (sometimes) challenging questions . Particularly relevant to this role is recently serving on the SWS Publication committee during a time when we received many public inquiries regarding our role and worked to be transparent with membership and beyond. Balancing public interest with an association’s goals is a challenge with which I am already familiar. I currently serve on the Editorial Board for an ASA publication (Context), and am a Section chair, thus am familiar with various aspects of ASA procedures.

Michael Sauder

Present Professional Position
Professor and Chair of Sociology, University of Iowa

Personal Statement:
I am honored to be nominated for ASA’s Publications Committee. During my five-year term as editor of Contemporary Sociology, I learned a great deal about how the Publications Committee works and the key role that our journals play in both representing and shaping our field. If elected, I would work to help the ASA develop sound policies around affordability, open access, data availability, and diversifying editorships and editorial boards. I would also look forward to being a part of discussions pertaining to the portfolio of publications, ensuring that that the portfolio reflects both the current composition of our members and contemporary trends in research activity. Finally, I would be committed to helping the association’s publications reach as wide an audience as possible, contribute to the public relevance of sociology, and maintain their budgetary standing.

Elizabeth Wrigley-Field

Present Professional Position
Assistant Professor, Sociology and Population Studies, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 2016-present.

Personal Statement:
My candidacy for ASA Publications Committee is an act of extreme hubris, since far more experienced people have previously joined this committee with the intention of enacting reforms ranging from notably ambitious (move ASA journals toward open-access publication) to undeniably modest (stop requiring books’ publication cities in ASA bibliographies), and all have crashed on the shoals of this particular bureaucracy. Yet I am running with a purpose: to advance our disciplinary and organizational conversation about how we can modernize our approach to research transparency and reproducibility, in ways that respect our methodologically diverse field and the risky career investments involved in collecting original data (something I’ve done myself as a junior scholar). I think that our disciplinary credibility depends on our making this turn, and that we must do it in a thoughtful and inclusive way. Should this prove impossible, I hope some of the meetings might have decent food.
