Benefits
Membership is open to any person interested in Global South Studies. Membership benefits include an annual subscription to Journal of Global South Studies (JGSS), the right to vote in association elections and to run for offices, and an invitation to participate in the annual meeting at a reduced registration rate. The membership fee covers the year the fee was paid, and includes two issues of the journal in the following year. The following example can be used for clarification: if a non-Lifetime Member pays the Membership Fee in 2026, then that person would be entitled to the Spring 27 and Fall 27 issues of the journal. As such, a person who paid their membership fee in August 2026 [and registration fee] to attend the 2026 conference in Rio would need to pay a membership fee and registration fee in 2027 to attend the conference in Panama, which would ensure uninterrupted receipt of the journal. New Lifetime Memberships are not currently being offered.
