The International Society for the Sociology of Religion (ISSR) is a global organization that promotes the study of religion through a sociological lens. Founded in 1970, it aims to foster research, collaboration, and dialogue among scholars interested in the social aspects of religion. The society organizes conferences, publishes a journal, and supports various research initiatives. Members of the ISSR include sociologists, anthropologists, and other social scientists who explore topics such as religious practices, beliefs, and the role of religion in society. The society also encourages interdisciplinary approaches, connecting with related fields like cultural studies and political science.
