Social Problems Forum: The SSSP Newsletter was produced by the SSSP from 1963 to 2013. The newsletter provided essays, commentaries, letters to the editor, book reviews, photo essays, and announcements for SSSP members. The SSSP membership voted to discontinue the newsletter in 2013. Archives of the newsletter are      available on the SSSP website.

Agenda for Social Justice  is designed to inform policy makers and the public-at-large about some of the nation's most pressing social problems and to propose policy responses to those problems. It is an effort to nourish a more "public sociology" that will be easily accessible to policy makers.

Working Toward A Just World: Visions, Experiences, and Challenges is intended for SSSP members, their colleagues and their students who want to learn more about one or more areas of study and activism that are the foci of the SSSP Divisions.
