Establishment of Mexican Sociological Society (SMS)
Under the guidance of UNESCO International Sociological Association and International Association of Political Science debuted in 1949. UNESCO and ISA recommended the creation of social science associations in countries where it has not previously existed. The head of the Institute of Social Research, Dr. Lucio Mendieta Nunez, attended the ISA meeting as a guest and later planned the First Congress of National Sociology in Mexico. The Mexican Sociological Society debuted due to the congress that UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, sponsored.
Sociedad Mexicana de Sociología, with the acronym SMS, is the Spanish name of the Mexican Sociological Society. The institutional development of Mexican sociology throughout the 20th century may be attributed to Lucio Mendieta. His research into Mexican rural sociology established the groundwork for future sociological studies of Mexican society.
