The American Sociological Association has announced that eight of its members have been recognized by premier science associations for their outstanding contributions to the field. Six sociologists have been elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences’ 2024 cohort of new members, who have been acknowledged for their excellence and invited to join the academy in advancing the common good by connecting across disciplines.
Deborah Carr from Boston University, Bruce Carruthers from Northwestern University, Prudence Carter from Brown University, Manuel Castells from USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, Adia Harvey Wingfield from Washington University in St. Louis, and Sasha Killewald from the University of Michigan are among the six sociologists who have been named as new members of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. These members will have the opportunity to collaborate and share their expertise with other distinguished individuals from various fields.
In addition to this recognition, two sociologists – Michelle J. Budig from the University of Massachusetts and Kathryn Yount from Emory University – have been named as fellows in the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s newest class. These individuals have been recognized for their contributions to the advancement of science and its applications in service to society.
The American Sociological Association was established in 1905 as a nonprofit membership association that supports sociologists in their research, promotes sociology as a science and profession, and encourages its use by society. Congratulations to these exceptional sociologists on their well-deserved recognition in their respective science associations!
