PSA Membership information for upcoming Academic Year
Thank you for your interest in joining or continuing with the PSA. PSA aims to keep membership and conference participation affordable. However, the costs to keep PSA going and hold the annual conference are rising. The PSA Council made some adjustments to fees for this year, where persons who are students or lower income faculty/other professionals pay low fees while faculty/other professionals in higher income brackets pay higher fees. In addition, the Council created a special fee for Emerita/Emeritus/Retired Sociologists.
The benefits of active membership include:
- Being part of an active regional community of sociologists
- Participating in the annual conference
- Opportunities to govern the association
- Eligibility for grants, awards, and mentorship
- Access to “lightning talks” and other events throughout the year
- Subscription to the Pacific Sociologist newsletter (3-4 issues per year)
All annual conference participants must be current, dues-paying members of the Association.
