REFRAMING THE SOCIOLOGY OF FOOD
Organizer: Stephanie Anckle, California Lutheran University
Presider: Stephanie Anckle, California Lutheran University
The purpose of this presentation is to contextualize food systems in the 21st century. Through the use of ethnography, this study examines the habitus of upper-middle-class grocery stores as well as the concept of eco-conscious shopping at these stores. We will then move on to the second section, which will explore the myths and practices that surround the food practices that exist in urban communities. Next we will examine that climate change and climatechange has impacted food choices. As a final section, we will examine how food sovereignty is viewed within communities of color. Throughout the presentation, we argue that when food practices are evaluated through the lens of community capital, it leads to the reframing of food systems in urban and rural settings. In conclusion, the presentation concludes with some possible contributions to the study of food in American society that could be used to reframe the sociology of food.

ABOLITIONISTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS
Organizer: Molly Talcott, California State University Los Angeles
Presider: Molly Talcott, California State University Los Angeles
In 2022, the first Abolition Sociology course took place at Cal State LA, and rather than succumb to the bureaucratized containment of community into semester segments, a collective of students and faculty formed the ASAP Collective (Abolition Study-Action People's Collective). As a collective, we study, share, and explore our intersectional journeys of becoming abolitionists as scholars, students, and activists against the state violence that inheres in gendered racial capitalism. In this panel, using a roundtable discussion style, we narrate how our differing experiences and lenses -- as people who are variously trans, queer, and non-binary, formerly incarcerated, migrant, Muslim, survivors of harm, and sober have led us to understand and embody in praxis Ruth Wilson Gilmore's assertion that, "abolition is plural." We hope to stimulate discussion about the ways in which antiracist pedagogy and abolitionist community building across difference are intimately intertwined and present possibilities for radically transforming our universities, our communities, and ourselves.
BOOK SALON 1: "METAMORPHOSIS: WHO WE BECOME AFTER FACIAL
PARALYSIS" BY FAYE LINDA WACHS
Organizer: Faye Wachs, Cal Poly Pomona
Presider: Faye Wachs, Cal Poly Pomona
Losing her smile to synkinesis after unresolved Bell’s palsy changed how Faye Linda Wachs was seen by others and her internal experience of self. In Metamorphosis, interviewing over one hundred people with acquired facial difference challenged her presumptions about identity, disability, and lived experience. Participants described microaggressions, internalizations, and minimalizations and their impact on identity. Heartbreakingly, synkinesis disrupts the ability to have shared moments. When one experiences spontaneous emotion, wrong nerves trigger misfeel and misperception by others. One is misread by others and receives confusing internal information. Communication of and to the self is irrevocably damaged. Wachs describes the experience as a social disability. People found a host of creative ways to reinvigorate their sense of self and self-expression. Like so many she interviewed, Wachs experiences a process of change and growth as she is challenged to think more deeply about ableism, identity, and who she wants to be.

THE 1960S AS A MOMENT OF SCENIUS: WEST COAST SOCIOLOGY’S SEARCH FOR METHOD
Organizers: Black Hawk Hancock, DePaul University; Robin James Smith, Cardiff University; Presider: Black Hawk Hancock, DePaul University
This session is concerned with the exploring how the fertile intellectual ground of the West Coast scene set out to produce ways of tackling the description and analysis of social action, organisation, and its winners and losers, in and through methodologies that are still being grappled with today. Many of them went directly against the grain of mainstream sociology then and still rub against it today. These efforts, and perhaps most notably Harvey Sacks’ development of conversation analysis, could be seen as “pitching a tent in the desert” as Dušan Bjelic memorably put it. As Bjelic goes on to stress, however, doing so cannot be an individual matter. You need to build a “corporation”. At times these corporations were explicit, at other times they were, perhaps, the product of the milieu of the time with multiple cross-fertilisations, inspirations, and intellectual collaborations less directly acknowledged. At other times, of course, there were tensions and divisions, with developments taking their own path. Whether the various overlaps were smooth or produced friction – and the extent to which those frictions produced different degrees of heat and light – is a matter for discussion. This session is less interested in intellectual ownership attributed to individual genius, than it is with the very conditions in which this methodological work was pursued. To borrow from Brian Eno, and Timothy Halkowski’s paper, this session thus explores the ‘scenius’ of the West Coast scene.

EPISTEMIC SHIFT: CHICANA/LATINA FEMINISTA CHALLENGES TO TRADITIONAL QUALITATIVE PARADIGMS
Organizers: Bianca N. Haro, Cal Poly Pomona; Gabriela Corona Valencia, University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign;
Presider: Erica Morales, Cal Poly Pomona
As a way to reify the methodological disruptions and epistemologies of Chicana/Latina feminist scholars that tend to the "Ties that Bind," this session highlights the use of Chicana/Latina feminist methodologies in interdisciplinary research to ask: How do Chicana/Latina feminist scholars embody and engage in research that practices relationality? What methodologies are used by Chicana/Latina feminist scholars to support research as praxis? The authors present and envision several interdisciplinary Chicana/Latina feminist methodological approaches (i.e., feminista pláticas, Chicana/Latina Feminista Critical Ethnography, Critical Race Feminista Epistolary Methodology) to promote justice-oriented collaboration among research collaborators, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders. Ultimately, the authors challenge research practices that reinforce oppressive systems of power and domination, drawing from historian Koritha Mitchell's assertion to "know your place aggression" illustrates the perpetuation of racial capitalism and white supremacy. The papers illuminate the potential of leveraging Chicana/Latina feminist methodologies, highlighting the
profound essence of relationality and envisioning research as an active praxis. This aligns with the concept of the "ties that bind" – emphasizing our intrinsic connection as researchers to both the subject of our research and our collaborative partners. We challenge the notion that rigorous research can only be accomplished from the standpoints that articulate "objectivity" and the researcherparticipant binary. We center methodologies that locate the power of subjectivity and value the lived experiences of research collaborators as knowledge and methodologies that are extensions of our ways of knowing that shape how we embody qualitative research as Chicana/Latina feminist scholars.

SOME OLD QUESTIONS FOR SOME NEW TROUBLES: THE CONTINUING INFLUENCE OF THE 1960S BEYOND DISCIPLINARY SILOS
Organizers: Black Hawk Hancock, DePaul University; Robin James Smith, Cardiff University; Presider: Robin James Smith, Cardiff University
This session returns to some key insights and developments from West Coast sociology and traces their significance for contemporary debates and developments in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis. The papers aim to recover the detail of well-known projects including Pollner’s study of traffic courts, the Natural History of an Interview project, as well as the treatments of setting and scene by Goffman, Garfinkel, and Sacks. Ostensibly, the papers could be seen as addressed to criminology, science and technology studies, and human geography. What the papers demonstrate, however, is that despite the tendency to partition and divide the work of the sociology in to disciplinary and even thematic silos, there is much to be gained by continuing to think with and across rather than within the guard-rails that some commentators and interpreters and translators have put in place. In this sense, these papers are an encouragement to others to recover the spirit of inquiry and openness that marked the “scenius” of 1960s West Coast Sociology. We cannot, of course, return to times before the Big Bang, but we can, at least, continue to be open to the possibilities opened up by that spirit for addressing pressing questions for contemporary sociology and society.

PROGRESSIVE TEACHING IN REGRESSIVE SPACES
Organizers: Laura Earles, Lewis-Clark State College; Leonard Henderson, Utah State University; Presiders: Laura Earles, Lewis-Clark State College; Leonard Henderson, Utah State University; A panel discussion of sociologists who are teaching in states, communities, and/or institutions where academic freedom is currently being threatened, either overtly through the passage of recent laws related to abortion and critical race theory in states like Idaho, Utah, and others or more subtly via place/region-specific cultural beliefs and attitudes that are skeptical of, if not hostile to, the intellectual concerns of sociology. What effect, if any, do recent laws targeting public educators' coverage of race, gender, and related topics have on curriculum and classroom instruction? How does the geography of regressive politics and culture influence decisions about where to seek academic employment? What constitutional issues do such laws raise, and how can faculty exercise academic freedom in such contexts? How are college/university administrators reacting to apparent restrictions on academic freedom and supporting (or failing to support) faculty members’ rights and responsibilities to teach the full range of their subject matter?

EMBRACING OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND SHARED CULTURE IN ACADEMIA
Organizer: Shanell Sanchez, Southern Oregon University
Presider: Kim Puttman, Oregon Coast Community College
There has been a significant push for a pathway to open resources for students, teachers, colleges, and the public. In sociology, this is a push for equity, accessibility, and representing diverse voices in sociology texts. Constructing a series of open-resource textbooks to embrace shared culture in academia allows for solidarity and reciprocity amongst the sociology community, with students, and fellow institutions. We will discuss our experiences creating various open-access textbooks, as well as discuss our experiences mentoring undergraduate research assistants. The process includes an intersectional DEI approach to editing and revisions, along with multiple revisions for inclusion from the community and accessibility for all. A discussion of the steps and vision with peers who are also experts in their fields would help guide our next steps.

WHO’S MISSING? DEVELOPING MENTORING NETWORKS THROUGH A SOCIAL CAPITAL PERSPECTIVE
Organizer: Belinda Hernandez, Stanford University
Presider: Belinda Hernandez, Stanford University
Everyone can benefit from quality mentoring relationships. Mentoring relationships are defined individually and evolve. However, developing mentoring networks requires a thoughtful approach with our time and effort. Whether you are interested in growing your skills as a mentor or expanding your mentoring network as a mentee, this session is for you. An asset-based, social capital perspective will frame this session and focus on you, as the mentee. Dr. Hernandez will highlight key elements of consideration and then lead participants to develop their in-session tools such as a social identity wheel and mentor map. These tools will be visual depictions that bring awareness of gaps in mentoring networks and the type or expertise needed to assist in shaping them. Whether you are a student, entry or mid-level staff, key leader, faculty (or prospective), and beyond, this session applies reflective tools that are live and adaptable over time.

BOOK SALON 3: "THE SOCIOLOGY OF CARDI B: A TRAP FEMINIST APPROACH" BY AARYN L. GREEN, MARETTA DARNELL MCDONALD, VERONICA NEWTON, CANDICE C. ROBINSON, AND SHANTEE ROSADO
Organizer: Candice Robinson, University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Presider: Candice Robinson, University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Cardi B's feminism is radical and controversial, just like her meteoric rise from successful stripper to reality TV star, to rap superstar. The married mother of two meets with presidential candidates to discuss social and political issues and never shies away from being her honest and full self across all spaces. As an Afro-Latina from the Bronx, Cardi B represents one of the more marginalized groups in America -- Black women from the trap. By using the standpoint theory of trap feminism, this book compels the reader to see hood Black women through a broadened lens to stop judging the actions, words, and life choices of ratchet Black women through the narrowed lens of white-centric sociology and to start acknowledging the immense value of knowledge produced by women in and adjacent to the trap. This is not a biography of Cardi B. The Sociology of Cardi B is a scholarly yet engaging analysis of the complexities inherent in truly inclusive feminism. The authors conduct a passionate, intellectually grounded exploration of Black feminism, motherhood, politics, hip-hop, and more to support and also center the experiences of marginalized Black women on every page of the book. For students, scholars, and everyday readers, this book is a work of liberation, a necessary conversation for every one of us, and a much-needed portrayal of the multidimensionality of Black womanhood.

BOOK SALON 4: "THE BRICKS BEFORE BROWN: THE CHINESE AMERICAN, NATIVE AMERICAN, AND MEXICAN AMERICANS' STRUGGLE FOR EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY" BY
MARISELA MARTINEZ-COLA
Organizer: Marisela Martinez-Cola, Morehouse College
Presider: Marisela Martinez-Cola, Morehouse College
In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state laws establishing racial segregation are unconstitutional, declaring “separate is inherently unequal.” Known as a seminal Supreme Court case and civil rights victory, Brown v. Board of Education resulted from many legal battles that predicated its existence. Marisela Martinez-Cola writes about the many important cases that led to the culmination of Brown. She reveals that the road to Brown is lined with “bricks” representing at least one hundred other families who legally challenged segregated schooling in state and federal courts across the country, eleven of which involved Chinese American, Native American, and Mexican American plaintiffs. By revealing the significance of Chinese American, Native American, and Mexican American segregation cases, Martinez-Cola provides an opportunity for an increasingly diverse America to be fully invested in the complete grand narrative of the civil rights movement. To illustrate the evolution of these cases, she focuses on three court cases from California, including these stories as part of the “long civil rights movement,” and thus expands our understanding of the scope of that movement along racial, gender, and class lines. Comparing and discussing the meaning of the other court cases that led to the Brown decision strengthens the standing of Brown while revealing all the twists and turns inherent in the struggle for equality.

DOING MORE WITH LESS: TEACHING SOCIOLOGY DURING THE TIME OF AUSTERITY AND DISINVESTMENT IN LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION
Organizer: Juyeon Son, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
Presider: Juyeon Son, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
In recent decades, liberal arts education, an intrinsic component of state university systems, has faced multifaceted challenges. Historically, state universities offered accessible, high-quality liberal arts education due to their affordability and commitment to nurturing creativity, citizenship, critical thinking, and essential knowledge. For decades, higher education in state systems has confronted obstacles rooted in declining state investments. Rising tuitions have shifted the financial burden from the public to families, compelling universities to adopt austerity measures that have particularly impacted disciplines in liberal arts including sociology. Faculty and staff are increasingly required to do more with less as positions are cut. Moreover, these challenges unfold amidst active attempts to undermine diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, and where the academic restructuring moved disproportionately hurting already minoritized faculty and staff. In this panel discussion session, we'll explore the experiences and responses of multiple state-system universities. We'll address the future of liberal arts education in these institutions and discuss the priorities sociologists should pursue. By examining the impact of financial pressures, shifting political landscapes, and the quest for educational excellence, we aim to identify tactics and directions for sociology education in state universities, helping to envision a better future for our field and institutions.

NAVIGATING SUCCESS AS FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS: CHALLENGES AND EXPERIENCES AS WOMEN IN PURSUIT OF A PH.D
Organizer: Alma Lopez, University of Nevada Las Vegas
Presider: Alma Lopez, University of Nevada Las Vegas
In this panel, we aspire to shed light on the challenges and experiences at the intersection of gender and first-generation student status. Graduate school is already a hurdle of its own - advanced educational coursework, financial struggle, graduate assistantships, navigating teaching, and potential relocation, all while having the looming pressure of completing a thesis/dissertation and making a name for yourself in academia. Being a woman and a first-generation student illuminates those hurdles even more. For many, being a first-generation student means that you do not have parents to help you understand the intricacies of college, let alone graduate school, along with the feeling of isolation in these experiences. Being underestimated and talked over as women in academia, also further amplifies the systematic barriers set in place. As students pursuing a graduate degree, we share similar, yet unique identities which impact our experiences as emerging scholars. We will share experiences, anecdotes, challenges, and accomplishments with the hope of building a communal conversation of solidarity and support.

2: "WORK IN BLACK AND WHITE STRIVING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM"
BY
ENOBONG HANNAH BRANCH AND CAROLINE HANLEY
Organizer: Enobong Branch, Rutgers University
Presider: Enobong Branch, Rutgers University
The ability to achieve economic security through hard work is a central tenet of the American Dream, but significant shifts in today’s economy have fractured this connection. While economic insecurity
has always been a reality for some Americans, Black Americans have historically long experienced worse economic outcomes than Whites. In Work in Black and White, sociologists Enobong Hannah Branch and Caroline Hanley draw on interviews with 79 middle-aged Black and White Americans to explore how their attitudes and perceptions of success are influenced by the stories American culture has told about the American Dream – and about who should have access to it and who should not. Branch and Hanley find that Black and White workers draw on racially distinct histories to make sense of today’s rising economic insecurity. White Americans have grown increasingly pessimistic and feel that the American Dream is now out of reach, mourning the loss of a sense of economic security which they took for granted. But Black Americans tend to negotiate their present insecurity with more optimism, since they cannot mourn something they never had. All educated workers bemoaned the fact that their credentials no longer guarantee job security, but Black workers lamented the reality that even with an education, racial inequality continues to block access to good jobs for many. The authors interject a provocative observation into the ongoing debate over opportunity, security, and the American Dream: Among policymakers and the public alike, Americans talk too much about education. The ways people navigate insecurity, inequality, and uncertainty rests on more than educational attainment. The authors call for a public policy that ensures dignity in working conditions and pay while accounting for the legacies of historical inequality. Americans want the game of life to be fair. While the survey respondents expressed common ground on the ideal of meritocracy, opinions about to achieve economic security for all diverge along racial lines, with the recognition – or not – of differences in current and past access to opportunity in America. Work in Black and White is a call to action for meaningful policies to make the premise of the American Dream a reality.

BOOK SALON 5 "GRAY AREAS: HOW THE WAY WE WORK PERPETUATES RACISM AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO FIX IT" BY ADIA HARVEY WINGFIELD
Organizer: Adia Wingfield, Washington University in St. Louis
Presider: Adia Wingfield, Washington University in St. Louis Labor and race have shared a complex, interconnected history in America. For decades, key aspects of work from getting a job to workplace norms to advancement and mobility ignored and failed Black people. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs, and organizations make internal and public
pledges to honor and achieve “diversity,” inequities persist through what Adia Harvey Wingfield calls the “gray areas:” the relationships, networks, and cultural dynamics integral to companies that are now more important than ever. The reality is that Black employees are less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Wingfield has spent a decade examining inequality in the workplace, interviewing over two hundred Black subjects across professions about their work lives. In Gray Areas, she introduces seven of them: Alex, a worker in the gig economy Max, an emergency medicine doctor; Constance, a chemical engineer; Brian, a filmmaker; Amalia, a journalist; Darren, a corporate vice president; and Kevin, who works for a nonprofit. In this accessible and important antiracist work, Wingfield chronicles their experiences and blends them with history and surprising data that starkly show how old models of work are outdated and detrimental. She demonstrates the scope and breadth of gray areas and offers key insights and suggestions for how they can be fixed, including shifting hiring practices to include Black workers; rethinking organizational cultures to centralize Black employees’ experience; and establishing pathways that move capable Black candidates into leadership roles. These reforms would create workplaces that reflect America’s increasingly diverse population professionals whose needs organizations today are ill-prepared to meet.

BOOK SALON 7: "FORBIDDEN INTIMACIES: POLYGAMIES AT THE LIMITS OF TOLERANCE" BY MELANIE HEATH
Organizer: Faye Wachs, Cal Poly Pomona
Presider: Melanie Heath, McMaster University
The book Forbidden Intimacies stands out as an innovative work that challenges our conventional thinking about what kinds of intimacy should be forbidden and why. It offers a poignant account of everyday polygamy and what its regulation reveals about who is viewed as an “Other.” In the past thirty years, polygamy has become a flashpoint of conflict as Western governments attempt to regulate certain cultural and religious practices that challenge seemingly central principles of family and justice. In Forbidden Intimacies, Dr. Melanie Heath comparatively investigates the regulation of polygamy in the United States, Canada, France, and Mayotte. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and archival sources, Dr. Heath uncovers the ways in which intimacies framed as "other" and "offensive" serve to define the very limits of Western tolerance. These regulation efforts, counterintuitively, allow the flourishing of polygamies on the ground. The case studies illustrate a continuum of justice, in which some groups, like white fundamentalist Mormons in the U.S., organize to fight against the prohibition of their families' existence, whereas African migrants in France face racialized discrimination in addition to rigid migration policies. The matrix of legal and social contexts,
informed by gender, race, sexuality, and class, shapes the everyday experiences of these relationships. Dr. Heath uses the term "labyrinthine love" to conceptualize the complex ways individuals negotiate different kinds of relationships, ranging from romantic to coercive. What unites these families is the secrecy in which they must operate. As government intervention erodes their abilities to secure housing, welfare, work, and even protection from abuse, Dr. Heath exposes the huge variety of intimacies, and the power they hold to challenge heteronormative, Western ideals of love.

BOOK SALON 6: "BANISHED MEN: HOW MIGRANTS ENDURE THE VIOLENCE OF DEPORTATION" BY ABIGAIL ANDREWS AND STUDENTS OF THE MEXICAN MIGRATION FIELD RESEARCH PROGRAM
Organizer: Uriel Serrano, University of California Irvine
Presider: Abigail Andrews, UC San Diego
What becomes of men the U.S. locks up and kicks out? From 2009 to 2020, the U.S. deported more than five million people over 90 percent of them men. In Banished Men, Abigail Andrews and her students tell 186 of their stories. How, they ask, does expulsion shape men's lives and sense of themselves? The book uncovers a harrowing carceral system that weaves together policing, prison, detention, removal, and border militarization to undermine migrants as men. Guards and gangs beat them down, till they feel like cockroaches, pigs, or dogs. Many lose ties with family. They do not go "home." Instead, they end up in limbo: stripped of their very humanity. Against the odds, they fight for new ways to belong. At once devastating and humane, Banished Men offers a clear-eyed critique of the violence of deportation.

INEQUALITIES AND POSSIBILITIES IN EDUCATION
Organizer: Irina Chukhray, University of California Davis
Presider: Irina Chukhray, University of California Davis
This panel broadly focuses on reimagining the role of community in educational settings from different points of analysis. Our panelists discuss their qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method research on secondary classrooms, the high school to college transition, and the undergraduate experience for students from immigrant, undocumented, mixed-status, and low-SES backgrounds. Panelists will discuss research around positive and negative educational experiences, including students’ experiences of microaggressions, student processing and unlearning of systemic oppression through mindfulness as well as educators’ and counselors’ roles as social capital change agents within educational communities. The common thread connecting our research is our endeavor to facilitate our understanding of and expansion of access to social spaces that are safe for the risk-taking required for student development in educational settings. We welcome you to attend our panel and encourage you to participate in a lively discussion with the panelists on inequalities and possibilities in education.
