Discussion
The Future of Sociology: Minorities, Programs, and Jobs
Most of the data I will discuss comes from surveys and membership data published by the ASA Research Department. These data illustrate the future of the discipline and what we might do to ensure that future.
Who We Are and Changes Over Time
What We Do: - Jobs and Job Satisfaction for BAs, MAS, and PhDs Intellectual Activities: ASA Membership and Sections
Minorities in the Pipeline and Interventions- Losses in the Pipeline- MFP as an Intervention Strategy

Points to Remember
The majority of undergraduate majors do not go on to graduate school in sociology. We must do a better job of counseling them, because they are the bread and butter of the discipline.
The market is improving for new PhDs, but sociology would have a lower unemployment rate if they were trained non-academic jobs.
It looks as if cultural studies is the intellectual future of the discipline replacing family and theory, although criminal justice is where jobs are.
There are small increases in minorities in the sociology pipeline, but they appear to get stuck on the way to the top. MFP helps.
