Who We Are
The Midwest Sociological Society, founded in 1936, is a professional membership organization of academic and applied sociologists as well as students of the discipline. Nearly 1200 scholars, students and practicing sociologists in universities, government and business belong to the organization. Known for its accessible but rigorous annual meetings, the MSS encompasses nine states - Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, South Dakota and North Dakota. However, membership is open to anyone; and more than one-third of the members are from other parts of the nation and the world.
