For half a century, the Karl Schuessler Institute of Social Research (KSISR) has been a home for social-scientific discovery and for excellence in graduate training. Founded in 1963 by the Chair of the Department of Sociology, Karl Schuessler, the Institute supports excellence in research and provides physical and intellectual space for graduate education through grant-writing workshops and consultation to students across the social sciences and to faculty in the nationally-ranked Sociology program. It also houses the Indiana Consortium for Mental Health Research and the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society.
