Message from organizers and contact information:
A 2024 Military Sociology Mini-Conference will be our 18th year at the Eastern Sociological Society. We’re excited to continue to host this venue. We have consistently drawn scholars from across the nation and more than a half dozen foreign nations making it the largest annual Military Sociology conference in the United States hosting students, practitioners, and scholars. The eastern seaboard and prominent cities provide an attractiveness both to regional folks and those coming from afar. The nation’s capital in late February is an attractive late winter opportunity to engage one another in and around these matters. Foremost, we have become a well-known venue for military sociology scholarship and networking. We look forward to continuing our in-person Mini-Conference.
