BLACK SOCIOLOGY AGAINST THE ASSAULT ON RACIAL KNOWLEDGE
53rd Annual Conference of the Association of Black Sociologists
August 17-19, 2023
Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square | 1800 Market Street | Philadelphia, PA
Submission Deadline: May 15, 2023
The 53rd Annual Conference is dedicated to exploring the ways in which sociologists and scholarly partners can confront, challenge, and contribute to the eradication of the assault unfolding in certain sectors of the public on the critical and crucial research done by Black sociologists.
We invite general papers and sessions that draw on the Black Sociological Tradition, centering voices and experiences of Black people. Space will be devoted to, but not limited to, young scholars, centering Black women, and Black public sociology. All interested individuals are invited to submit papers as well as proposals for complete sessions (three-to-four papers) and
roundtables (including: Regular Sessions, Salon Noir Book Talks, Regional Spotlight Sessions, Thematic Sessions, Poster Sessions, and Workshops) on the conference theme, the state of the field, or any general substantive field related to Black sociology.
