Caucus Communities
Find Your Community within the CSA
The Canadian Sociological Association’s Caucuses provide spaces for sociologists, students, scholars, practitioners, and community members to connect around shared experiences, interests, and areas of concern.
More than a formal part of the CSA’s governance structure, Caucuses are communities where participants can build relationships, exchange ideas and resources, identify emerging issues, and work together on activities that matter to them.
Participation can take many forms. Caucus members may contribute to conversations and initiatives throughout the year, help organize conference sessions or virtual events, share resources and opportunities, develop collaborations, or simply connect with others who share their interests and concerns.
Caucuses also provide an important connection between their communities and the broader Association. Through representation on the CSA Executive Committee, they can bring forward perspectives, priorities, and emerging issues that help inform the Association’s work.
Get Involved
You do not need to take on a formal leadership role to become part of a Caucus community. In most cases, participants are also not required to be CSA members, unless they are taking part in a CSA activity or serving on a committee for which membership is required.
Whether you are looking to meet colleagues, exchange knowledge, contribute to an initiative, organize an activity, or become more involved in the sociological community, we encourage you to explore the CSA Caucuses and find opportunities to connect.

Connect. Contribute. Build community.
You may also be interested in joining a Research Cluster which bring together researchers, students, and practitioners working in the various substantive areas that make up Canadian sociology. They facilitate information-sharing, networking, academic community-building, and collaboration among those working in similar areas.
