​Virginia social Science association

Picture

The Virginia Social Science Association is the oldest association of academics in Virginia.
​

We are comprised of scholars from multiple social disciplines.

We envision three main interrelated missions regarding teaching, research, and outreach:
  • promoting multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work in the social sciences
  • offering students, including undergraduates, opportunities for professional development in presenting their scholarship
  • bringing together Virginia teachers of higher education
Annual membership is included in our conference registration fee.

2022 Annual Conference

Saturday, March 26th - Virtual


After last year's successful virtual conference, the VSSA will again host the 2022 conference online.

Entering our 95th year, the Virginia Social Science Association (VSSA) is Virginia’s longest serving association of academics. VSSA is multi-disciplinary and welcomes scholars and researchers from across all of the social sciences. For our annual conference, we will accept panel and paper submissions from any and all social science disciplines and on any relevant subject. The conference offers opportunities to those whose work bridges disciplinary boundaries, who may want to test their findings among interdisciplinary peers, or who are just entering the world of academic research. All “social science” proposals are welcome.
