About NCSA

IN 1969, Dr. Joseph Himes and other sociologists in the state founded the North Carolina Sociological Association (NCSA). The organization is governed by the Executive Council that consists of the Executive Council and Council Members.

The goals of the association are to stimulate and improve research, instruction and discussion, to encourage cooperative relations among persons engaged in the scientific study of society, and to encourage cooperative relations between academic sociology and other agencies with related interests.

The NCSA publishes Sociation (formerly Sociation Today) and a newsletter, hosts and annual meeting in the spring, and provides members with professional development opportunities.
