Welcome to the
Society for
Socialist Studies!
The
society's purpose to facilitate and encourage research and
analysis in Canada with emphasis on socialist, feminist, ecological,
and
anti-racist points of view.
The
Society is an association of progressive
academics,
students, activists, and members of the general public. The Society is
dedicated
to providing a forum for those who promote a socialist perspective as a
foundation on which to build solutions to political, economic,
workplace,
social, gender, ethnic, environmental, and other forms of injustice. It
is
unique in bringing together individuals from all walks of life and as a
member
of the Canadian Federation for Humanities and Social Sciences, is in a
position
to create links with other organizations, promote the concerns of
members, and
present an influential face to policymakers.
The
Society meets annually as part of the Congress of
the
Humanities and Social Sciences. Member-organized sessions have dealt
with topics
ranging from neo-liberalism, feminism, race and ethnicity, terrorism,
genocide,
anarchism, and the environment, to economic, social and political
injustice,
concerns with the future of work, and the family.
Socialist
Studies: The Journal of the Society for Socialist Studies, is
peer-reviewed and
interdisciplinary, launched in May 2005, marking the beginning of a new
era in
the history of the Society. Submissions to the journal and
subscriptions
are dealt with in that section of the website. September 2008 marked
another
milestone for the journal which has moved to online publication
available via
