The Committee on Socialist Studies was formed in 1967 and renamed The Society for Socialist Studies/Societe D'Études Socialistes (SSS) in 1981.[1] It was formed to "facilitate and encourage research and analysis with an emphasis on socialist, feminist, anti-racist and ecological points of view".[2] The Society is not affiliated with any particular political organization.

Since 2005, the society has published a peer-reviewed academic journal, Socialist Studies.

The Society is a member of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS)[3] and meets annually as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the largest annual multidisciplinary academic gathering in Canada. Its 2015 conference was held 2–5 June in Ottawa.
