In March 2025, SSSP asked current, past, and prospective members to share their feedback on our organization. We are pleased to share the results of the membership survey, designed to be periodically distributed to members every five years. 

This survey attempted to gather data related to how well SSSP was meeting members’ needs. We also solicited recommendations for future directions on a variety of issues and ideas that have been raised in recent years. The results provide us with insights on what is working well, what can be improved or changed, and included thoughtful suggestions and creative ideas to help the Society. Thanks to everyone who took the time to submit feedback!

If you are a member of the SSSP, or considering membership, please read this policy carefully. We want to assure members that we will do what we can to provide them with a safe environment in which they will be free to pursue their intellectual interests and engage other members in spirited, stimulating, and productive intellectual exchanges.

A Message from the SSSP Anti-Harassment Committee

The SSSP Anti-Harassment Committee opposes and condemns the current administration’s assault on our immigrant and refugee communities and would like to send our support to our members, colleagues, students, family members and friends by sharing some resources related to immigrant rights.

SSSP resolutions constitute an important opportunity for SSSP to take positions on a wide range of social issues, thereby creating a channel for greater visibility and more direct influence upon a variety of “publics,” i.e., fellow activists, scholars, students, decision-makers, social action groups, voters, and others. All current members are invited to review the 2025 proposed resolutions and participate in the resolutions process.

Between June 16 to July 15, the proposed resolutions will be available for review and comment by the Society’s membership. During this review period, current members can express online, their support or opposition to a resolution, with a rationale, and propose changes to and make recommendations regarding the resolution. The Board of Directors will review these comments and recommendations to determine whether changes are needed or the if the resolution should be tabled if there is a compelling reason to do so.
