History
The Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA) was formed in 1965 and had 189 members. By the 1990s, membership had grown to over one thousand members but saw a significant decline thereafter. As a result, the CSAA was renamed the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA) in 2007. The CSA is a professional association that promotes research, publication and teaching in Sociology in Canada. Membership comes mainly from sociology departments in Canadian universities.
