Our mission is to advance the interdisciplinary study of history by integrating the theories, methods, and insights of the social sciences to better understand social change over time. We are committed to fostering collaboration among scholars from history, sociology, economics, political science, anthropology, geography, and related disciplines, creating an inclusive and dynamic intellectual community. Through research networks, academic conferences, publications, and open scholarly dialogue, we aim to promote rigorous, evidence-based, and comparative research that connects historical inquiry with contemporary social, political, and economic challenges. By encouraging innovation, diversity of perspectives, and global cooperation, the Social Science History Association seeks to strengthen historical scholarship and contribute meaningful knowledge that informs society, policy, and future generations.
