About the North Carolina Sociological Association

The North Carolina Sociological Association was founded in 1969 by Joseph Himes and other sociologists throughout the state as a means of bringing together sociologists working in a variety of settings, both academic and applied. The founders of NCSA were particularly concerned with providing a meeting place for those sociologists who might otherwise find themselves isolated in small departments located at smaller liberal arts colleges or community colleges. The annual meetings have provided a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of issues affecting the discipline rather than just as a place to present papers and research. Throughout its history, the association has encouraged and nurtured student sociologists by including their work in the sessions of its annual meetings.

The objectives of NCSA are be to stimulate and improve research, instruction and discussion, to encourage cooperative relations among persons engaged in the scientific study of society, and to encourage cooperative relations between academic sociology and other agencies with related interests.

The NCSA Community

Our community is composed of a diverse array of scholars, practitioners, graduate students, and undergraduate students, and we pride ourselves on the welcoming and supportive culture our membership has cultivated. Our organization meets once per year to share ideas, present research, and connect based on our shared interests. We also provide virtual programming throughout the year and support an open access journal, Sociation.

We hope you’ll consider joining us!
