British Sociological Association
The British Sociological Association (BSA) is the professional society of British sociologists.
Since sociology in the UK was long overshadowed by social anthropology , the professional society was founded relatively late, in 1951 , on the initiative of several university professors. Its goals are to promote sociology, support sociologists and represent sociology to the UK public.
The BSA publishes the journal Sociology , a bimonthly periodical for general sociology, as well as the journals Cultural Sociology and Work, Employment and Society devoted to more specific topics .
Among its 40 different study groups , one of the strongest and most active is the medical-sociological BSA Medical Sociology .
