The website belongs to the Social Science History Association (SSHA), an interdisciplinary organization that focuses on the intersection of social sciences and history. The SSHA organizes an annual conference, publishes a journal called "Social Science History," supports graduate student travel and offers various prizes in recognition of outstanding scholarly work. The association brings together scholars from disciplines such as history, economics, sociology, demography, anthropology, and others to explore common questions through thematic networks. These networks organize calls for papers and select submissions to be presented at the annual conference. The SSHA provides a welcoming space for both younger scholars and seasoned academics to engage in interdisciplinary discussions and exchange ideas.
