1466 - Memorial Session in Honor of Doctors Ali Chaudhary, Richard Alba, and Jeffrey G. Reitz
Saturday, August 9, 8:30 to 10:00 pm
West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago,
Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, Toronto

By René D. Flores, The University of Chicago Ali Chaudhary was a good friend. As fellow migration scholars, we met at ASA in the early 2010s while still in graduate school. Alongside other junior scholars, we formed a feedback circle—exchanging drafts, ideas, and encouragement over the years. Ali came to academia through an unconventional route, and he often felt like an outsider. “I shouldn’t be here with you guys,” he’d sometimes say. “This wasn’t in the plans for me.” It was as if he had narrowly escaped a harder life, one with fewer second chances. In recent years, he began moving away from immigration research and toward his true passion: music. An accomplished jazz musician, he brought deep thought to his creative work—most recently exploring how instruments like the guitar reflect symbolic boundaries in society. He often played at ASA receptions, generously sharing his talent. He was so good that other sociologists often mistook him for a professional musician, forgetting he was one of them. Like his music, his scholarly work was honest and sharp. His comments on our manuscripts often cut to the core. We talked often about work and life. He spoke with deep love and pride about his two young children. Rest in peace, Ali. You are missed, my friend.

A good remembrance from my friend @rdflowers.bsky.social about my late friend Ali R. Chaudhary. I was part of the feedback group Rene mentions and fully agree with his assessments and share his loss.
Session to remember him, and other great scholars, today, 8:30 to 10 pm #ASA2025
