Welcome, members and friends of the Southwestern Social Science Association,
Welcome to a new year of interdisciplinary inquiry and collaboration. Founded in 1919, SSSA brings together scholars, students, and practitioners across anthropology, economics, history, international studies, political science, social work, sociology, and women’s & gender studies to advance research that informs policy and serves communities.
Please save the dates for our 2027 annual meeting in San Antonio, April 8–10, 2027. Under the theme “Complex Problems, Collective Solutions: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Social Challenges,” the meeting will feature panels, poster sessions, and workshops that connect diverse methods and perspectives to address complex problems. I encourage you to submit proposals and plan your visit to San Antonio!
Together we can turn rigorous scholarship into collective strategies that help society. I look forward to seeing you in San Antonio as we renew old connections and build new partnerships across disciplines.
Warm regards,
Theresa Morris
