About
What Is ESS?
Our Society was founded in 1930 to advance sociological research, promote the effective teaching of sociology, develop more vital relationships between sociology and related disciplines, and to use the tools of the social sciences to address social problems. We publish a peer-reviewed journal Sociological Forum, host an annual conference, support workshops, and award prizes for excellence in the discipline.
Our Annual Conference
“Dignity & Society”
#ess2023 #dignity&society
Join us in Baltimore in February 23-26, 2023 for our Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore in the Inner Harbor. This year’s theme is Dignity and Society. While papers related to the theme are appreciated, any paper on a sociological topic will be accepted for the program. This year’s president is Frederick F. Wherry (Princeton University) and our vice-president is Jennifer Lena (Teachers College/ Columbia University). The Program Committee is co-chaired by Natasha Pratt-Harris (Morgan State University), Alexandre White (Johns Hopkins University), and John N. Robinson III (Princeton).
The submission portal will take you to the Ex-Ordo conference site where you use your name and email to register onto the site to submit an abstract, author-meets-critics proposal, workshop, or brief mini-conference proposal. Students presenting posters will use the site to register and to input their poster title and a brief description of it.
