The Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), founded in 1951 by Elizabeth Briant Lee and Alfred McClung Lee, is an interdisciplinary community of scholars, practitioners, advocates, and students interested in the application of critical, scientific, and humanistic perspectives to the study of vital social problems.

Purpose

The purpose of SSSP is to promote and protect sociological research and teaching on significant problems of social life. This includes:

encouraging the work of young sociologists;
stimulating the application of scientific method and theory to the study of vital social problems;
encouraging problem-centered social research;
fostering cooperative relations among persons and organizations engaged in the application of scientific sociological findings to the formulation of social policies;
fostering higher quality of life, social welfare, and positive social relations in society and the global community;
undertaking any activity related thereto or necessary or desirable for the accomplishment of the foregoing purposes

Activities

The SSSP promotes dialogue through presentations at the annual meeting, and through listservs and newsletters throughout the year; publishes research in the journal Social Problems; presents awards to community groups; supports graduate students, young scholars and activists with professional support, leadership opportunities, and scholarships; passes and acts upon public resolutions; and fosters the generation of new ideas.

Membership

Although most of the Society’s members are sociologists and from the United States, the Society also enjoys the significant participation of multidisciplinary and international scholars, practitioners, students, and advocates as well. Membership is open to individuals and university and college departments who support the SSSP’s mission and goals. The SSSP holds annual meetings in the same location and time as the American Sociological Association.

Divisions

The SSSP has twenty-three divisions, each with its own newsletter, that provide members with common interests the opportunity to interact more intimately with one another. Division activity shapes the annual meeting of the Society by organizing paper sessions and panels. Divisions provide an opportunity for young scholars to present their work to a critical audience of scholar advocates interested in good research and social action to move toward solutions for social problems. Division chairs form the nominating committee for the major officers of the Society and for the Board of Directors. Members interested in emerging areas of social problems can form new divisions.

Awards, Fellowships, and Scholarships

The SSSP grants awards, fellowships, and scholarships in recognition of meritorious work by outstanding scholars, practitioners, advocates, and students who demonstrate active pursuit in the application of critical, scientific, and humanistic perspectives to the study of vital social problems. One of these awards is the prestigious C. Wright Mills Award, awarded to the previous year’s most outstanding book in the tradition of the individual for whom the award is named.^[2]

Social Problems and other publications

The Society publishes Social Problems, one of the leading refereed and most widely read social science journals in the United States, and several other miscellaneous publications. For more information on the Society’s publications, visit https://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/m/322.
