Apply for the 2022 Award Now!
The deadline for completed applications is February 18, 2022.
What Awardees Receive
Awardees will receive up to $800 in travel funds to attend the ASA Section on Teaching & Learning’s pre-conference workshop held the day before the annual ASA meeting, as well as enrollment in the Teaching & Learning Section (assuming ASA membership). The 2022 workshop, Teaching and Learning in Bureaucracies of Displacement, will be held from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Friday, August 5 at the ASA annual conference in Los Angeles, CA.
Who Qualifies
New sociology instructors and graduate students who have taught courses at a college, university, or community college for four years or less are welcome to apply.
Additionally, the award committee will give a limited number of awards to new instructors who have already shown leadership in the Teaching & Learning community (e.g., leading teaching workshops, publishing in Teaching Sociology). Those awardees may be asked to help lead portions of the preconference.
Due to the cancellation of the in-person 2020 ASA meeting, 2020 awardees are invited to reapply for the Keith Roberts Teaching Innovations Award. (There were no awards given out in 2021.)
Congratulations to the 2019 SAGE Teaching Innovations & Professional Development Award Recipients!
