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. |
