International Society for the Sociology of Religion

The International Society for the Sociology of Religion (ISSR) is a global organization that brings together researchers, scholars, and practitioners interested in the study of religion from a sociological perspective. Founded in 1950, the ISSR aims to promote scholarly exchange and collaboration on how religion influences society and culture, and vice versa. It organizes conferences, publishes academic journals, and facilitates discussions on topics such as religious beliefs, practices, institutions, and their roles in various social contexts. By fostering a deeper understanding of the relationship between religion and social life, it contributes to academic and public discourse.
