Origins
Origins In 1947 Torgny T. Segerstedt was appointed as the first professor of Sociology in Sweden. Today, sociology is taught at all nine Swedish universities, and undergraduate courses are held at a number of smaller colleges. Sociological research is carried out at all universities, but also by sociologists working with social planning and evaluation. Thus, during its first fifty years Swedish sociology has established itself as a major social scientific discipline.
The Swedish Sociological Association (SSA) was founded in 1961 and its first annual meeting was held in 1962. This meeting is also an academic conference at which papers are presented in a number of work groups.
The SSA is also a member of the Nordic Sociological Association and of the European Sociological Association.

Conferences
Every second year the Nordic Sociological Association organizes a conference that usually attracts at least 300 sociologists.

In 1978 Sweden hosted the ISA IX World Congress in Uppsala.

Awards
Since 1994 Torgny T. Segerstedt's price has been awarded annually to that article in Sociologisk Forskning which has given an important contribution to the development of sociology.

Publications
Since 1964 the SSA has published the academic journal Sociologisk Forskning (Sociological Research) four times a year. Together with the sociological associations from the other Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Norway) the SSA is responsible for the publication of the internationally highly regarded journal Acta Sociologica, also a quarterly.
