Become a Member
Welcome to the Philosophy of Education Society! You can join or renew here. Please read the information below to better navigate the system.
Some information on memberships and renewals:
PES offers 6 levels of membership. The standard membership (Level 1, Level 2, etc) is set to autorenew, which saves you having to remember to renew every June. If you prefer to renew manually, select manual renewal at the appropriate level.
If you registered as a member after July 2019, you have an account in the system, and the renewal page should offer you a "login" icon at the upper right hand corner of the page. Please start by logging in! That will recall your address, university affiliation, etc, and avoiding setting up multiple accounts for you. If you are a new member, or haven't been a member since before July 2019, the system should prompt you to set up an account.
PES offers members a discounted subscription to Educational Theory (online and print). If you check the box for it, you will be charged an additional $25.
The system accepts MasterCard and Visa. (American Express and Discover incur extra charges for PES, so we are unfortunately unable to accept those.). You are also still welcome to pay by personal check, if you prefer.
Memberships run from the date you sign up until the end of PES's business year, which is June 30. PES membership levels are set up to respect differences in income, so please choose the appropriate level. In joining the society or renewing your membership, you are doing your part to support an all-volunteer run professional society that has represented the field since 1941. PES offers members discounted rates at our annual conference, a monthly news bulletin with information about professional development and publication opportunities, and the chance to become more involved in shaping our field through PES committees or as a reviewer for our journal, Philosophy of Education. Please join or renew your membership! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Amy Shuffelton, Executive Director at ashuffe@luc.edu.
