Dear AoIR Members

ASA's Section on Communications and Information Technologies is running a 
membership drive right now. And if you are a student who is already an 
American Sociological Association member, you are eligible for a FREE 
CITASA membership! Just fill out the online form at the following address 
to receive a free section membership:

http://tinyurl.com/CITASA-freestudent

The deadline is September 20th for requesting a free membership. Please 
note: we can only provide the free section memberships, so students must 
already be a member of the ASA, but that is already true for all students 
who attended the recent annual meetings in San Francisco.

As background, the number of panels that CITASA gets at each ASA
is directly determined by section membership. Thus, each membership is
important to maintaining a vibrant space for research on communications
and technology. If we can get about 25 students to request free section
memberships (which is not unusual), we are likely to go over the 400
member mark for the first time in our history and get an additional
session at the 2015 ASAs!

Also we are creating a section that will foster more work in Media
Sociology, which includes creating more space and opportunities for those
scholars to share their work. So, we really hope you will forward this to
any student who might be eligible and implore them to fill out this online
form.

Thanks so much for your help in this effort!

Sincerely,

Barry Wellman and Erin M. Evans
