Call for papers:

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.  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.

Please submit paper and panel proposals no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 11, 2022.
Registration will begin on March 1, 2022
