The British Sociological Association (BSA) is a scholarly and professional society for sociologists in the United Kingdom.
The activities of the BSA are overseen by the Board of Trustees which is the decision-making body responsible for setting and implementing strategy.
The Association publishes a magazine, Network, for its members three times a year, Spring, Summer and Autumn.
