The Pacific Sociological Association was established in October 1929, when Emory S. Bogardus of the University of Southern California called together a group of area sociologists for the purpose of organizing a society.[2] The organization was originally called the Pacific Southwest Sociological Society. In 1930, the new name, Pacific Sociological Association, was adopted. The goal of the charter members was to emerge from the isolation in which they had been at their respective institutions in order to, in union, promote sociological research and teaching. The first annual meeting was held in January 1930 in Los Angeles.[3]
