History The NCSA was founded in 1969 by Joseph Himes and other
sociologists throughout the state as a means of bringing together sociologists
who were working in a variety of settings, both academic and applied. The
founders of the NCSA were particularly concerned to provide a meeting place
for those sociologists who might otherwise find themselves isolated in one-person
departments located in smaller liberal arts colleges or community colleges.
The annual meetings have provided a forum for the exchange of ideas and the
discussion of issues affecting the discipline rather than just as a place
to present papers and research. Throughout its history, the association has
encouraged and nurtured student sociologists by including their work in
the sessions of its annual meetings and by honoring outstanding student papers
with an annual award.
The archives of the NCSA are currently housed on the campus of North Carolina State University. Past Presidents 1969-1971 Joseph S. Himes, Founding President 1971-1972 Dorothy Williams 1972-1973 A. M. Denton 1973-1974 Everett K. Wilson 1974-1975
