Membership is open to anyone who supports SSSP's goals. Founded in 1951, the Society for the Study of Social Problems promotes research on and serious examination of problems of social life. The SSSP works to solve these problems and to develop informed social policy. As a member, you will find peers and colleagues working together to develop and apply research which makes a difference. Student members and newcomers are especially welcome.
Memberships are available to individuals and departments of colleges and universities.
Meet your peers who are interested in social problems and their solutions, from graduate students to established scholars, researchers, policy-makers, and community activists. Each Division runs its own program at the Annual Meeting, elects its own Chairperson and officers, and has its own newsletter. Volunteering for Committee Service. The Society needs responsible committee members who can assist in various tasks. The Committee on Committee would be glad to hear of your willingness to serve.
