Sociological Research Association

The Sociological Research Association is, or was, an honor society of sociological scholars founded in 1936.

It was founded in the 1930s in opposition to the dominant Chicago school of sociology. And in the late 1960s, it was seen by some as a counterweight to the radical and anti-empirical activity of some leading sociologists.[1]
