ASA Theory Section

This virtual panel is sponsored by the Theory Section of the ASA. Theory helps us diagnose our conditions, develop strategies, and imagine an emancipatory future. Panelists who organize across an array of movements will discuss the theories and strategies they are using to make sense of and challenge the current conjunctural crisis we face. Panelists will include:

• Andy Clarno, Associate Professor of Sociology and Black Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago
• Angela Cowser, Director of the Center for the Church and the Black Experience, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
• Zophia Edwards, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Johns Hopkins University
• Woods Ervin, National Campaign and Projects Director, Critical Resistance
• Juliana Góes, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Binghamton University
• Mabrouka M’Barek, PhD Candidate in Sociology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
