If you’re conducting research that you’d like to share with your community, consider presenting at a conference. Conferences are a great way to showcase your work, network with others in your field, and can be a valuable experience in preparation for graduate school.
And if you are not quite ready, please keep this in mind for future years.
If interested, consider looking into one of the conferences listed below. Please note that the Pacific Sociological Association (PSA) conference has an application deadline of October 15th. The PSA is a very comfortable and supportive environment for undergraduate students.
Please let the Department of Sociology know if you present at ANY conference.
