TASA Membership

TASA memberships are available here. The fees are based on country of current residence and are divided into 3 categories (Cat.), A, B and C, according to the Gross National Income of the economy of countries. Australia is a category A country. For full details, scroll down to Membership Fees sections below.

TASA is a vibrant and dynamic association and membership provides many practical benefits, including the Journal of Sociology, online access to Sage sociology journals, Health Sociology Review and other Taylor & Francis journals, Conference discounts, eligibility for prestigious awards, and access to self-promote in the Members’ Newsletter, TASA Blog & Nexus as well as access to the members-only section of TASAweb. TASA encourages student membership, with discounted rates, and is particularly attuned to the interests of postgraduate members by advertising scholarship and early career positions. TASA membership provides an avenue to network with sociologists and keep in touch with sociological developments in Australia and across the globe.

TASA membership is open to anyone, globally, with an interest in sociology. There are no registration or qualification requirements, except for the completion of the membership form and the payment of the membership fee. TASA members are expected to act according to the Ethical Guidelines of the Association and abide by its Constitution and other policies, which can be accessed from the Terms and Conditions page.

On shore membership fees are determined by a graded scale according to income. In line with the International Sociological Association’s (ISA) membership fee structure, off shore membership fees are based on country of current residence. The fees are divided into 3 categories (Cat.), A, B and C, according to the Gross National Income of the economy of countries. You can view the categories and then join here. The membership fee system works on an ‘anniversary’ membership model, which means that your membership will remain active from the date you join/renew. Members are urged to pay their fees by the due date to ensure timely delivery of their journals and to receive the latest sociological news and information from the newsletter. Please contact TASA Admin if you would like to gift a membership to someone.

A list of the full TASA membership benefits can be viewed via the orange button below.
