Welcome to the Kurdistan International Sociological Association

We are pleased to announce that the Kurdistan International Sociological Association (KISA) is now online.

KISA is an independent, scholarly, non-partisan, and not-for-profit academic association dedicated to advancing sociology, social research, teaching, publication, and professional exchange. We bring together sociologists, social researchers, academics, graduate students, public intellectuals, and research-oriented institutions interested in Kurdish society, Kurdistan, the Kurdish diaspora, the wider Middle East, and comparative global sociology.

What's next

• First International Conference — Erbil/Hawler, 2–3 September 2026. The full Call for Papers is now available on this site.
• Kurdistan Sociological Review — our annual peer-reviewed journal will begin accepting submissions soon.
• Membership — applications are open. See Members for details.
