Overview

The International Society for the Scientific Study of Subjectivity (ISSSS) is interdisciplinary and engages differing narratives from the social sciences, biomedical sciences, and the humanities. ISSSS welcomes a variety of critical, cultural, historical, and philosophical discourses that embrace the study of subjectivity. ISSSS continues the pioneering work that Dr. William Stephenson developed in subjective science and Q methodology and seeks scholarly work that extends that tradition.
