Mid-Career Forum

Mid-career brings a different set of challenges.  Expectations shift, responsibilities grow, and the path ahead can feel less clearly defined.  While this stage can be full of possibilities, it’s also a time when many sociologists find themselves balancing competing demands - from research and teaching to leadership, mentoring and institutional pressures.

The Mid-Career Forum offers a space to reflect on those experiences with others who understand them.  It’s a place for open discussion, shared strategies, and building connections across a diverse community.  Whether you’re stepping into new roles, rethinking your direction, or seeking solidarity in a demanding phase of academic life, you’re welcome here.

If you’re around 8–10 years post-PhD, or navigating what feels like a mid-career stage, we warmly invite you to be part of our community.
