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.
