2022 Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association provides the opportunity for professionals involved in the scientific study of society to share knowledge and new directions in research and practice. Nearly 600 programmatic sessions are convened that provide a scholarly outlet for more than 3,000 research papers, over 4,500 presenters, and 5,000 attendees.

The ASA 117th Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held August 5-9, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. 2022 ASA President Cecilia Menjívar has chosen the theme “Bureaucracies of Displacement.” Read the full theme statement. ASA is carefully monitoring recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others regarding the COVID-19 situation as we make plans to host the Annual Meeting in Los Angeles. At present, we are planning for an in-person event. 

ASA will be taking many steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of meeting attendees. These steps include requirements for registrants such as full vaccination with booster and wearing masks at all times onsite or when using shuttle service. Access to sessions, events, and shuttle service will be limited to registrants wearing meeting badges. Information on how to provide vaccination information will be sent directly to registered attendees closer to the meeting date. We recognize that the COVID-19 situation is fluid and would like to remind attendees that requirements may change in line with evolving conditions. Learn more about the ASA Annual Meeting COVID-19 Protocol.
