The ASA is dedicated to serving sociologists in their work, advancing sociology as a science and profession, and promoting the contributions and use of sociology to society. Any individual interested in these objectives is eligible for membership in the ASA. It is the policy of the ASA to recruit, invest in, and empower a diverse membership with an equitable and welcoming environment for all. This includes people of various cultures, nationalities, ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, socioeconomic statuses, religions, physical or mental abilities, and political affiliations, as well as first generation students and faculty members. This also includes people employed in all types of educational institutions–ranging from research intensive universities to community colleges and high schools, and those employed in practice settings—including government, business, non-profits, or other applied contexts. As a national association, we place value on dismantling power inequalities. We engage and respect diverse experiences through all our programmatic activities and in the business of the Association.
