Members receive a copy of our outstanding quarterly newsletter, Environment, Technology, and Society, which contains extensive information about the sociology of environment and technology. This includes reviews of current literature and research reports, information about government policies concerning technology and the environment, announcements of meetings of interest, and discussions of relevant issues.
Members periodically receive special Section reports and publications.
Members may present papers in the sessions on environmental sociology and the sociology of technology sponsored by the Section at ASA annual meetings. Through Section efforts, members can cooperate in seeking to influence ASA and governmental policies concerning environment and technology conditions and programs. By joining the Section, members become part of an interacting network of North American and other sociologists interested in environment and technology issues. Exchanges are especially encouraged between people in academic and nonacademic settings, and between sociologists and others working on environment and technology problems.
