A Message from Our President

Rose Brewer

“I have come to understand a good deal about SSSP over the years, its challenges and possibilities. What is clear to me is that I cannot think of a time in my life as a sociologist and scholar of African American and African Studies without The Society for the Study of Social Problems being central to my scholarship and activism… I’m excited about a new generation of members who are bringing creativity, scholarly excellence and visons of emancipatory change to SSSP. They are a key pillar of what will fuel the Society forward in the years to come. I know we need the deepest of commitments, the sharpest scholarship, and the greatest strategic clarity regarding the road ahead. I’m very much looking forward to the annual meeting in Chicago where much of this theory and practice will be shared as we commemorate the 75th anniversary of SSSP.” Rose M. Brewer, SSSP President 2024-2025, University of Minnesota
