Welcome!

The JDS membership period begins in August and ends the following July, which allows our cycles to match the fiscal year and the school year for many institutions. Pricing is based on income (see below), and your annual membership includes several benefits.

All members receive quarterly newsletters from the society detailing information on Dewey-related work and events as well as updates on the annual JDS meetings.

Additionally, all members receive annual, digital subscriptions to the society’s flagship journal, Education and Culture (2 issues per year, please contact our secretary if you need assistance with access). We also provide open access to The Journal of School & Society and Dewey Studies, all of which can be found on our website.

Join or Renew

Make your payment: Membership prices are based on income, and can be paid in one- or two-year options. We accept two methods of payment:

  1. Pay with a credit card through Square.
  2. Pay with a credit card through Paypal (see buttons below).

We welcome both individual and institutional members to our society. Please direct all membership inquiries to jdssecretary@gmail.com.
