Description: 

This session is designed to welcome SSSP accomplices to foster a conversation about being an insurgent scholar. Seasoned and new members with varying years of SSSP participation will share insights and tips on how to get the most out of the SSSP conference, academic association affiliations, community engagement, and scholar-activism. We will also explore: A. How can we intentionally stay connected throughout the year? B. How does being an insurgent sociologist impact our involvements in academic associations? C. And how does our scholar activism impact our involvement in other work and community spaces?
