Research Section
Options
 

The Society offers membership in a variety of Research Sections. Each section consists of members who share common research interests. Sections meet at the Annual Conference and at other times of the year to create workshops and synthesis conferences designed to enhance methods and substantive areas of expertise, in addition to discussing the latest research in their respective areas.

When completing the membership application, please select one section as your primary affiliation. A primary section is one that you are interested in for building research relationships and serving in a leadership or support role. If you choose to, select one secondary research affiliation. The secondary section is of interest for research and networking, but is not necessarily one that you are interested in serving in a leadership or support role.
