“I first came to SSSP in 1997, through the Association for Humanist Sociology [AHS]. AHS was the group Betty and Al Lee built after leaving SSSP for becoming too much like ASA— ‘enmeshed deeply in the bureaucratic, technocratic, plutocratic, and imperialistic structure of our society.’ I felt then as I do now, that SSSP has the potential to be a radical professional base for people engaged in scholar activism. But we must support and challenge each other, work hard and reflect harder together, and stay committed, be vigilant and find joy with one another, if radical social change is our mission and sociology our method. I continue to ask the same question the Lees did back in 1954: can sociology ‘be the brash, young, vital, productive, unsettling, even revolutionary pursuit it has been in its most valuable periods?’”
