I was elected to the ASA's Committee on Committees and my term begins at next month's annual meeting. (Thanks, I think, to everyone who voted for me.)
:) My job is to bring a slate of candidates to be deliberated by the committee at our day-long (!) meeting at the annual meeting. We make recommendations to Council for appointments to all Award Committees and Status Committees. These include: Award Committees: Distinguished Scholarship Dissertation Distinguished Career for Practice of SOC Disstinguished Scholarly Publication Distinguished Contributions to Teaching DuBois-Johnson-Frazier Jesse Bernard Pubic Understanding of SOC Status Committees: Committee on Awards Professional Ethics Committee on Sections Status of Racial & Ethnic Minorities in SOC Status of Gay, Lesbian, Bbisexual and Transgendered Persons in SOC Status of Women in SOC Status of Persons w/Disabilities in SOC If you are interested in serving on any of these committees, please email your CV to me as soon as possible I will submit your name for nomination. I must submit names to the ASA prior to 8/1 and they will check to make sure you are eligible (e.g., you must be a member in good standing). That will clear the way for putting your name into nomination at the meeting. If your CV is not ready to send to me, at least send me an email expressing interest and let me know when I can expect to see your CV. Let's get more teaching sociologists represented on these committees! Thanks!
