2009 Sociological Association Meetings – Internet Sociologists Meet (CITASA @ ASA09)

The 2009 American Sociological Association Annual Meeting was held in San Francisco, California, August 8-11.

The Communications and Information Technology Section of the American Sociological Association (CITASA) is the group that gathers many forms of social science research on the creation and uses of information technology. This year’s meeting included two CITASA panels, round tables, a business meeting with awards, and a (windy!) boat ride through San Francisco Bay and beneath the Golden Gate Bridge.
