The Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility ASA's session on how to apply to a Sociology PhD program is Thursday at noon. Please ask your students to sign up using the link below!

We all know that not all students have the same information about applying to graduate school. The Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility section is taking a step to spread information more evenly by hosting a panel on applying to Sociology PhD programs. Please share the flyer below with your students!

Thanks!
