Me neither. I think some of it has to do w/ opportunity hoarding & reproduction in top depts. & students mimicking advisors. I look at the focal areas in those depts. & see how narrow/parochial they are. Little training on policy process vs. emphasizing very acad. focus w/inward incentive structure.

2/2 Even ASA hinders focus on cutting edge/emerging topics via how sessions are scheduled a yr+ in advance & sessions allocated to sections. I'd love a conference theme like: "Existential Threats to Humanity" or "Very Serious Societal Shit Sociology Generally Ignores."
