Regular Membership is important:
- Each Research Committee needs a high number of regular members in order to remain a Research Committee of ISA. If we would only have affiliated members, we would be forced to disband.
- On the ISA main conferences, i.e. the World Congress of Sociology and the ISA Forum of Sociology, the number of session slots available for the Research Committees is determined by the number of regular members. The more regular members, the more space we get in the conference programs.
If you want to join us at RC17 as a regular member, register as a member of the International Sociological Association (ISA). During the registration process you can join the RC17.
You can find all information (including membership fees) here on the ISA website.
