Session 1: Laura Robinson, Santa Clara University

Title: Cultural Divergences and Convergences: Mediated Communication,
Community, and Social Networks

Through social networking, commerce, or political activism, many
internet users engage in a host of mediated communities and social
networks. To date, little attention has been paid to how cultural
context shapes differentiated use of IT both within and beyond national
borders. This session takes on this challenge by examining how new media
practices diverge or converge in different cultural settings both in the
United States and internationally. Papers will explore differences and
similarities between how different cultural groups use mediated
communication to initiate, sustain, or strengthen different forms of
community and/or social networks.

Session 2: Keith N. Hampton, University of Pennsylvania

Title: Sociology of Communications and IT

Open session on any topic related to the study of the sociology of
communications, media, or information and communication technologies.
Quantitative, qualitative, conceptual, critical, and theory
contributions are welcome. Topics may include: health, politics, work,
relationships, virtual environments, social networks, media, teaching,
software, hardware, the Internet, cell phones, mobile computing, etc.

Round tables (1-hour): Open Submission

Organizer: Steven G. Hoffman, SUNY Buffalo

The following is a preliminary call for papers for the CITASA sessions at the 2009 ASA meeting in San Francisco. The formal CFP will be forthcoming next month with a deadline for full papers of early January. As always, please do not submit your papers directly to the session organizers, all papers must be submitted through the ASA paper system. -Keith Session 1: Laura Robinson, Santa Clara University Title: Cultural Divergences and Convergences: Mediated Communication, Community, and Social Networks Through social networking, commerce, or political activism, many internet users engage in a host of mediated communities and social networks.
