Leadership Transitions
At the 2026 Annual Meeting, the gavel was passed from 2025-26 President Laurie Linhart to 2026-27 President Michael Haedicke. We thank Laurie for her leadership and vision. We look forward to working with Michael over the next year!
Congratulations!
Join us in congratulating our 2026 MSS Awardees. They have worked hard and contributed greatly to sociology.
The Benefits of Membership
MSS members enjoy our journal, The Sociological Quarterly, a friendly but rigorous annual meeting, access to grants and awards, opportunities to learn and serve, and paths to enhanced leadership skills.
MSS members differ in sociological specialty, location, ethnicity, gender and age but coalesce around their fascination with sociology and their willingness to give back through voluntary service to MSS.
Last year, MSS distributed more than $30,000 to MSS members through competitive awards for scholarly work, prizes for student paper competitions, and research and travel grants.
MSS Activities
MSS publishes up to 70 research articles each year in The Sociological Quarterly. Articles cover the entire spectrum of sociological research and inquiry and are often organized into symposiums or special issues. TSQ, as it is familiarly known, is currently edited by Jonathan Coley at Oklahoma State University.
MSS annual meetings attract sociologists each year by offering nationally-known plenary speakers, intriguing paper sessions, invigorating roundtables, instructive workshops, and interactive poster sessions. Always held in a major Midwestern city, MSS annual meetings also include tours, social events, meet-ups and networking opportunities.
Donations to MSS are used to provide scholarships to meetings, fund research grants, subsidize student attendance to meetings, award great achievements, and much more. When you donate, you can specify which area of need you would like to address. Thank you to all who make a contribution to MSS at any time of the year. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
