BLACK RESISTANCE:

REIMAGINING 60 YEARS OF CIVIL RIGHTS 

AND 10 YEARS OF POST-FERGUSON FIGHTS


54th Annual Conference

of the Association of Black Sociologists 

 

August 8-10, 2024

Hotel Omni-Mont Royal | 1050 Sherbrooke St W | Montreal, Quebec

The 54th Annual Conference is dedicated to commemorating, (re)examining, (re)activating, and advocating for Black lives in the 60 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act and 10 years of the Ferguson Uprising. This conference centers the current state of the Black community largely. More specifically, it focuses the intergenerational/transgenerational ways in which sociologists and scholarly/community partners face, confront, and contribute to the eradication of pervasive anti-Black threats and acts, as preservation for reimagining, contemporary Black freedoms and liberation.

We invite general papers and sessions that draw on the Black Sociological Tradition, centering the voices and everyday lived experiences of Black people. Space will be devoted to, but not limited to, young scholars, centering Black women, activism, and 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.

All program participants must be current 2024 ABS members. The ABS membership year runs from January 1 through December 31 each year. To be included in the final program, all participants must join and register no later than Saturday, July 6, 2024. Membership renewal can be completed online here. Here is a mail-in form for membership payment if you would prefer to (e)mail your membership payment.
