Ideas on Fire Guide to the American Sociological Association conference
August 9–13, 2024 | Montreal, CanadaWelcome to the Ideas on Fire guide for the 2024 American Sociological Association conference!
We’ve curated a bunch of resources to help you get the most out of your conference experience.
This year’s theme is Intersectional Solidarities: Building Communities of Hop, Justice, and Joy, and the event “emphasizes sociology as a form of liberatory praxis: an effort to not only understand structural inequities, but to intervene in socio-political struggles….The 2024 program theme focuses on how we can use our understanding of intersectional inequalities and solidarities to help build a better world.”
We are jazzed to celebrate so many Ideas on Fire authors presenting at the conference. You can peruse their recent work below.
