Advancing Sociological Scholarship in the U.S. South

About the Society

Established in 1935, the Southern Sociological Society promotes the development of sociology as a profession and scientific discipline through high academic standards, effective teaching, rigorous research, and the diffusion of sociological knowledge.

We are committed to building a diverse, welcoming, and inclusive association. SSS embraces members across many dimensions of identity, background, and career stage, and actively works to ensure equitable practices and full participation.

Members convene each spring for our annual academic conference.
