Section Membership
Sections are where sociologists with similar research interests connect. Many sections offer year-round programming and section members receive regular communication through their respective listservs. When you join an ASA Section, you are automatically added to the listserv for that Section. Sections offer three different categories for renewal: regular, student and low income. Regular section dues apply to individuals who have joined ASA in the income-based membership categories between $30,000 and $150,000+, or in the categories international associate, retired, high school teachers, part-time contingent, or affiliate member. Student section dues apply to individuals who have joined ASA as student members. Low income section dues are for ASA members who are unemployed or earning under $30,000.
