Summer 2025 Gender, Professions, and Organizations Writing Workshop at ASA Annual Meeting

Register for the semi-annual Gender, Professions, and Organizations Writing Workshop at the ASA Annual Meeting on Friday, August 8. Spots are limited; sign up here.

The semi-annual Gender, Professions, and Organizations Writing Workshop is back this summer from 9 am to 5 pm on Friday, August 8, 2025 – the day of pre-conference activities for the ASA annual meeting in Chicago. 

The Summer 2025 GPO organizing team welcomes anyone working on gender, professions, and organizations (broadly defined; if you’re unsure if your work applies, it likely does). Our goals are to foster connection and collaboration, build community across career stages, and dedicate time for writing. We encourage new and returning participants! 

The full-day workshop is organized into two standalone sessions, each with time for connecting and writing, and a lunch break in between. Participants are welcome to join for the morning, afternoon, or both. 

Anyone registered for ASA is welcome to join the workshop at no additional cost; however, space is limited. Participants should bring their own charged laptop computers (and possibly an extension cord) and snacks to share, as additional funding is not available. 

Please contact one of the current organizers with any questions. Register by July 27, using this form.

Originally a workgroup of sociologists doing research on gender and academic careers, scientific workplace organizations, and organizational transformations to promote gender equality, the workshop now includes scholars of gender, professional work, and organizational change. The purpose of the workshop is to learn about the range of work that attendees are doing, to facilitate collaboration and to set aside time for writing. We encourage new and returning participants. If you’ve never come, welcome, and if you have, welcome back!

The workshop was originally intended for sociologists who are doing research on gender and academic careers, scientific workplace organizations, organizational transformations to promote gender equality, etc. It has been broadened to include gender, professional work, and organizational change. The purpose of the workshop is to learn about the range of work attendees are doing, to facilitate collaboration and to set aside time for writing.

We encourage new and returning participants. If you’ve never come, welcome, and if you have, welcome back! If it turns out that you can’t come, please let one of us know; conversely, if you know of someone who has been considering joining us, encourage contacting one of us a.s.a.p. We will make a reservation for lunch for the full group; while this is an enjoyable part of the day, participants may opt to use the hour and a half for other activities.
