To encourage research of high quality on the arts and culture more generally, within and between countries. To fulfill this purpose the Committee engages in the following activities: it organizes sessions of the Sociology of the Arts at the meetings of the ISA; it sponsors international seminars on topics of theoretical, methodological or substantive importance in this field; it arranges for publication on matters related to research; develops an international roster of sociologists of the arts and culture, and organizations involved in similar pursuit; it fosters cross- national sociological research through the international membership in the research committee meetings, newsletter and other correspondence; it seeks to keep its members informed of RC37 activities; it engages in additional activities to disseminate its activities and encourage intellectual networks in and among many countries.
