About VSSA

The oldest association of academic disciplines in Virginia, the VSSA is an interdisciplinary organization, the members of which principally include scholars of anthropology, business, economics, education, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology.

Our Missions

Bringing together all groups related to the social science disciplines: faculty from K-12 as well as all institutions of higher education in Virginia; undergraduates; graduate students; and professionals who apply the social sciences.  We envision three main interrelated missions regarding teaching, research, and outreach: (1) promoting multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work in the social sciences; (2) offering students, including undergraduates, opportunities for professional development in presenting their scholarship; and (3) bringing together teachers at all levels of education in Virginia.
