Founded in 1951, SSSP is an international, interdisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to research and empirical examination of social issues and addressing them via social policy. SSSP members include scholars, researchers, and practitioners who come from critical, scientific, and humanist traditions and who are dedicated to social justice research and action. The annual meeting is an opportunity for scholars and activists to present and share their research with the goal of bringing about a more just society. The three-day conference will draw hundreds of activists and scholars who will participate in sessions, thematic workshops, and panels dedicated to social justice research, teaching, and practice.

A special, pre-conference workshop is being offered on August 8th on Service Learning: Engaging Students and Community in Sociology and Social Change, organized by Corey Dolgon of the Teaching Social Problems (TSP) division along with Jonathan White. Two special one-day conferences free and open to all will immediately follow the regular three-day SSSP meeting on August 12th, one focused on the challenges facing organized labor with an international context (at CUNY's Murphy Institute), the other taking a global approach to human rights (in the Westin Hotel).

In addition, a special post-conference workshop on doing Institutional Ethnography will be available for an additional fee on August 12th at the Westin.

Go Topless Day 2013 will fall on Sunday Aug. 25. GoTopless Day always falls at the Sunday closest to Women's Equality Day, Aug 26.

 It is indeed on Aug 26, 1920 that women earned their right to vote on the basis of Gender Equality. In 1971, the US Congress has made Aug 26 into a nationally recognized date and named it "Women's Equality Day". The president of the United States is summoned to commemorate this date each year.

It is only logical that GoTopless Day protests (or celebrations depending on the legal status of your city) would fall around Women's Equality Day since the right to go topless for women is based on gender equality as their right to vote once was.

On Sunday Aug. 25, people in cities around the world are invited to stand up for women's right to go topless in public.
