The Society for Utopian Studies

The Society for Utopian Studies is an academic organization focused on exploring the concept of utopia—idealized communities or societies where social, political, and economic conditions are perfect. Founded in the late 1970s, it encourages scholarly discussions, research, and publications about various utopian ideas throughout history, including literature, politics, and philosophy. Through conferences and journals, members examine both historical utopian visions and contemporary applications, fostering a deeper understanding of what an ideal society could look like and how those ideas can inform current social issues.
