SSSP 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, both national and international. The SSSP promotes dialogue through presentations at the annual meeting, and through listservs and newsletters throughout the year; publishes research in t
he 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. While we are fully committed to providing an open platform for the free exchange of ideas and spirited debate, we are equally committed to ensuring that these conversations are conducted in a manner that respects the human dignity of participants. Consequently, participants on this SSSP page are expected to comply with the SSSP’s policy against discrimination and harassment (https://www.sssp1.org/file/SSSP_Anti-Harassment_Policy.pdf), which may include, but not be limited to, “offensive jokes, slurs, epithets, name calling … intimidation, ridicule or mockery, and insults and put-downs.” Thank you for your participation and cooperation.
