ASA Sociology of Population Section Student Paper Award (3/1/25)

Posted: 2/21/2025 (Funding)

The American Sociological Association’s Sociology of Population section is accepting nominations for the best student paper in the sociology of population. This award consists of a certificate and $500 award. The paper must use a sociological perspective to address an issue of relevance to contemporary demography, broadly construed; purely technical papers are not eligible. The paper can be published or unpublished and should be article-length (approximately 40 pages including tables and figures). Papers can be sole-authored or have multiple student authors. All authors must be currently enrolled in graduate school or have completed their Ph.D. degrees on or after January 1, 2024. No faculty co-authors are allowed.

Please send a letter of nomination with author name(s), title, date of publication, and a brief statement explaining the significance of the work and its contribution to the sociology of population. Self-nominations are welcome. Nominations and a copy of the article should be emailed to all committee members by March 1, 2025. Membership in the Sociology of Population Section of the ASA is not a requirement for the award but is encouraged.
