Annual Conference - Registration Now Open
Join us for the 98th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Sociological Association, PSA 2027. This year’s theme, "Sociology In A Time Of Monsters", is, of course, taken from Antonio Gramsci’s famous quote about living through the end times of capitalism, “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” Each of us has likely witnessed our share of monsters in the last several years, but we continue to be motivated by the hope that these presage the turbulence of a new and better world being born, the last gasps of a society in crisis, if you will.
