The
Association for Humanist Sociology is a community of
sociologists, educators, scholars, and activists who share a commitment to
using sociology to promote peace, equality, and social justice. AHS was founded in 1976 in response to a
growing disenchantment with mainstream sociological organizations and a belief
that sociological practice should reflect humanist values. We strive to be an active support network for
humanist sociologists.
Our
major activities are
- Holding an annual meeting to build community
and to share ideas and experiences
- Publishing a journal, Humanity & Society, that reflects new directions in
humanist thought and practice
