Welcome to our American Sociological Association conference virtual book stand
In place of being able to be at the ASA conference this year, we have created this virtual space so that we can connect with everyone we would have met there.
Find all the book and journal highlights we would have had on our stand below, including information about our newest books in Sociology of Diversity series, as well as the newly launched The Other America by Harris Beider and Kusminder Chahal, and our Agenda for Social Justice 2020 and Social Problems in the Age of COVID-19, published in association with SSSP.
Our Sociology commissioning editors, Victoria Pittman and Shannon Kneis would love to hear from you if you would like to take this opportunity to catch up with them:
Book an appointment with Victoria and Shannon to talk about publishing projects by getting in touch at victoria.pittman@bristol.ac.uk or shannon.kneis@bristol.ac.uk. You can also visit our Author Hub for more information on publishing with us.
