Abstract

As a member of this section for ~18 years, I share my perspective on the future of our domain within sociology. I also reflect on my own path to finding the Communication and Information Technologies section of the American Sociological Association (CITASA) / Communication, Information, Technologies, and Media Sociology (CITAMS), how my graduate training affected this, and where I am at this point in my career. I highlight areas for consideration as we strive to move CITAMS forward within sociology, focusing on our sociological presence, where our students find faculty positions, and how sociology values our domain.
