Established in 1984, NASSP sponsors a peer reviewed journal, the Journal of Social Philosophy, hosts the International Social Philosophy Conference, produces a conference book series, and publishes a newsletter. NASSP also sponsors an annual award for the best new book on social philosophy, and organizes sessions in conjunction with meetings of the American Philosophical Association and the Canadian Philosophical Association. NASSP members receive the journal, the newsletter and the current volume of the book series as benefits of membership.

The International Social Philosophy Conference is held each year in a different location, provides a space for the sharing of professional work in social philosophy, broadly conceived. Themes for the conference range from the sociological to the ethical to the political. A selection of papers presented at each meetings is subsequently prepared for publication in the conference series Social Philosophy Today.
