For the past few years I have been working to reinvigorate the American Sociological Association (ASA) section on Communication and Information Technologies (CIT). CITASA’ns have the opportunity to present their work at the annual ASA meeting, there is a new newsletter, a new email list, a new website coming soon, discounts on journals (Information, Communication & Society, New Media & Society, and The Information Society) and each new member gets a section “Sociology Bytes!” t-shirt. Membership growth is important to raise the profile of the sociological study of new technologies and it increases the number of sessions at the annual meeting. It is annual membership renewal time at the ASA, if you are an ASA member (or want to be) please help by joining the CIT section.
