33rd Annual
Group Processes Virtual Conference
Friday, August 6, 2021
Call for Submissions
For over three decades, the group processes research community has held an annual conference. It offers an opportunity for researchers interested in basic social processes to present theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in group processes research to an expert community in highly discussion-oriented sessions.
The conference stimulates dialogue and cross-fertilization between the different traditions of group-focused sociological research. The group processes community places a premium on mentoring younger scholars, including graduate students, in all aspects of the program and offering early scholars an opportunity to present work-in-progress to senior scholars in workshop-like sessions.
We are committed to organizing the conference around the best new group processes research and will prioritize open-submissions. Following the 2021 ASA’s theme of “Emancipatory Socialization: Rising the Du Boisian Challenge" we will especially encourage submissions in these areas. Group processes theory and research on power, status, justice, and identity are all well-positioned to help sociology reveal the social conditions faced by oppressed groups. In keeping with the strengths of the group processes tradition, we hope to highlight the effectiveness of discovering theory-driven solutions to societal concerns.
Abstract Submissions due April 30, 2021
