2012 Annual Meeting Preliminary Program is Now Online!
The preliminary program for the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Social Problems is now available. Please click here to review the program, make your travel arrangements, and pre-register for the conference. We hope you will be able to join us from August 16-18 at the Grand Hyatt Denver in Denver, Colorado. President Wendy Simonds and her Program Committee have worked diligently to organize workshops and collaborative sessions that focus on the crucial part of what initially brought the SSSP into existence in 1951: the art of activism. We hope to encourage shared work that explores the creative spirit in activism as well as the sociopolitical power of art.
