The Society for Socialist Studies (SSS) is an association of progressive academics, students, activists and members of the general public. Formed in 1966, the Society’s purpose is to facilitate and encourage research and analysis with an emphasis on socialist, feminist, anti-racist and ecological points of view.
The Society for Socialist Studies is an independent academic association and is not affiliated with any political organization or group.
Currently, the Society focuses on two projects: our peer-reviewed academic journal, and our annual conference at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Both projects are intended to provide a forum for wide-ranging discussion, debate and analysis.
