The 19th Junior Theorists Symposium (JTS) is now open to new submissions. The JTS is a conference featuring the work of emerging sociologists engaged in theoretical work, broadly defined. Sponsored in part by the Theory Section of the ASA, the conference has provided a platform for the work of early-career sociologists since 2005. They especially welcome submissions that broaden the practice of theory beyond its traditional themes, topics, and disciplinary function. The symposium will be held as an in-person event on Friday, August 8 prior to the 2025 ASA Annual Meeting in Chicago.

They invite all ABD graduate students, recent PhDs, postdocs, and assistant professors who received their PhDs from 2021 onwards to submit up to a three-page précis (800-1000 words). The précis should include the key theoretical contribution of the paper and a general outline of the argument.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 21, 2025, 11:59pm Eastern Time
