2026 North Carolina Sociological Association Conference
UNCW will host the 2026 annual meeting of the North Carolina Sociological Association (NCSA). Founded in 1969, NCSA brings together scholars, practitioners and students to exchange ideas and explore issues related to the scientific study of society while highlighting our local and state efforts.
While rooted in sociology, the conference is intentionally interdisciplinary and welcomes participants from all fields whose work engages social questions, including policy, education, health, and community-based research. The 2026 theme, Public Sociology, highlights scholarship that connects academic work to the broader public and real-world concerns.
