Virtual Conference Information

The 57th Annual Conference of the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA) will be held in two sections.

1. Virtual sessions scheduled from Monday, June 3 through Friday, June 7, 2024.
2. In-person sessions scheduled from Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 21, 2024 as part of the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences Congress in partnership with McGill University.

CSA Conference delegates benefit from the opportunity to learn from, and engage with, scholars and practitioners working within the discipline of sociology. We are hoping that this new Conference format will improve accessibility for our members and the wider community.

The information below will be useful for those attending the virtual Conference from June 3 through June 7, 2024.

Additional details will be posted once confirmed. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require further information.

Policies and Fees

Those participating in the virtual sessions (June 3 – June 7, 2024) as a chair, discussant, presenter, or panelist, must be members of the Canadian Sociological Association.

CSA Membership Requirement Policy

Participants are required to pay a nominal fee to help the CSA off-set the costs of facilitating the sessions (virtual platform and staffing).  This fee is not required for those who have registered as Congress delegates with the CSA Conference to also participate in the in-person sessions (June 17 – June 21, 2024).

CSA Virtual Conference Registration

There is no fee for those wishing to attend the CSA Virtual Conference as observers only.

Accessing Virtual Sessions

The CSA Virtual Conference will be using the Zoom platform.  Links to access the sessions will be posted in early May in the online Conference Program (coming soon).

Speakers (presenters and panelists) should access their session 15 minutes in advance for Green Room time to ensure their video, audio, and screen-sharing for presentations is working correctly.  Speakers are responsible for sharing their screens from their own computer for presentations during the session (if applicable).

Remote audience members will be allowed into the session by the Zoom Room Monitor at the designated session start time.

Additional details regarding the virtual session formats and possible recording will be posted once finalized.
