Current Membership, Geographical Reach and Office

Today the PSA is the professional association of sociologists in the Pacific Region of North America. It is divided into three regions:

• Northern Region—Alaska,  Montana, Oregon, Wyoming,  Idaho, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta in Canada;
• Central Region—Hawaii, California (Fresno and north), Nevada (except Las Vegas), Utah, and Colorado
• Southern Region—Arizona, New Mexico, California (south of Fresno), Nevada (Las Vegas), and Baja California, Sonora and Chihuahua in Mexico.

Our membership includes professors and students working at colleges and universities located throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada, but especially those who live in the western region of those countries. Many Association members work as consultants, researchers, and administrators. Some members have government jobs and others own businesses. A significant number are graduate students. The Association holds an annual meeting in late March or early April and publishes a newsletter, The Pacific Sociologist, and a journal, Sociological Perspectives

The archives of the PSA are located at the library of California State University, Sacramento.
