The British Sociological Association (BSA) is a scholarly and professional society for sociologists in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1951, the BSA is the national subject association for sociology in the UK. It publishes the academic journals Sociology, Work, Employment and Society, Sociological Research Online and Cultural Sociology (with SAGE Publications) as well as its membership magazine Network and a monthly eNewsletter.

The BSA is a registered charitable company (charity no: 1080235). Its charitable objective is: The advancement of public education by the promotion and diffusion of the knowledge of sociology by lectures, publications, the promotion and publication of research and encouragement of contact between workers in all relevant fields of enquiry.

Organisation

The activities of the BSA are overseen by the Board of Trustees which is the decision-making body responsible for setting and implementing strategy. An Advisory Forum, including representatives from all of the constituencies within the Association and the BSA President, provides a two-way channel for information exchange between the members of the Association and the Trustees.

An office of 10 staff members takes care of the day-to-day running of the Association.
