As clinical, applied, and public sociologists, we strive to do more than just understand our social world. We work to create a more positive social world in both big and small ways through the systematic study, application, and practice of sociology. While we don’t all consider ourselves to be scholar-activists, we do know that scholarship that is driven by social justice ideals is equally important as activism that is rooted in sound scholarship driven by scientific principles. We also know that these two paths intersect in hopefully positive ways within the role of the scholar-activist. At the 2025 annual meeting of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology, we will thematically focus on the scholar-activism that is all around us and within us through plenaries, keynotes, and regular sessions. We encourage you to submit items (papers, panels, workshops, etc.) that reflect this theme, but also welcome all submissions that reflect the mission of the organization to promote applied and clinical sociology in all of its forms – including research, teaching, and practice.
