International Sociological Association (ISA)

The International Sociological Association (ISA) is a global organization that brings together sociologists—people who study how societies, cultures, and human interactions function. Founded in 1949, it aims to promote sociological research, exchange ideas, and support the professional development of sociologists worldwide. The ISA organizes conferences, publishes journals, and fosters collaboration across countries to better understand social issues, patterns, and changes. Its work helps scholars, policymakers, and communities gain insights into social dynamics, contributing to informed decision-making and a deeper understanding of the human experience on an international scale.
