The Social Scientists’ Association (SSA) was founded in 1977. Since inception it has been functioning as an institute of knowledge production and dissemination and has made contributions not only to the intellectual life in Sri Lanka but the South Asian Region and beyond as well.
The SSA has an ongoing commitment to original research, analysis and activity around issues pertaining to peace, democracy, pluralism, ethnic harmony, gender equity, social transformation, labour and human rights.
The SSA sponsors and coordinates research projects in the Social Sciences. It also publishes original research and makes them available to the public through the Suriya Bookshop and the Library and Documentation Centre.
Apart from SSA’s own publications other significant works in the field of social sciences and humanities are also available in the bookshop and the library. SSA publishes Polity – a journal held in high esteem by scholars and academics in the field of social sciences and humanities.
The SSA is managed by a Council of management which is headed by a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer.
