International Sociological Association represents sociologists everywhere, regardless of their school of thought, scientific approaches or ideological opinion.
The International Sociological Association expresses its deepest condolences on the recent passing of Alain Touraine, a leading sociologist and a referent for social movements, that profoundly contributed to a better understanding of social reality.

at the Award Ceremony.
The International Sociological Association express their sincere condolences on the sensitive passing of Margaret Archer, a leading sociological theorist and former ISA President (1986-1990), the first woman elected for this position. She will be missed.
The ISA is deeply concerned that university leaders are using disciplinary & administrative measures to silence critical analyses of ongoing violence in Gaza.
