The special SSSP group rate is $189 per night (deluxe room rate and includes complimentary, high-speed wired internet access) at the Grand Hyatt Denver Hotel. Rate is exclusive of 14.85% tax and subject to change without notice.

When you call to make your reservation, please give the group name (The Society for the Study of Social Problems) to ensure you are given the correct room rate. Please be sure to make your reservation as soon as possible to obtain this special rate! Reservations must be confirmed by Monday, July 23 at 12:00am (MST) to guarantee a room rate of $189/night.

Call for Resolutions

SSSP resolutions constitute an important opportunity for our scholar-activist membership to publicly declare their sentiments, thereby creating a channel for greater visibility and more direct influence upon a variety of "publics," i.e., fellow activists, scholars, students, decision-makers, social action groups, voters, and others. Members who wish to propose resolutions for consideration, should submit them to the appropriate Division Chairperson(s) (see http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/m/464/The_Special_Problems_Divisions/ for current contact information) and directly to the SSSP Vice-President at chapkis@usm.maine.edu by July 1, 2012.
