2023 Membership Dues

ISHS is pleased to provide to all of our new and continuing members for 2023 the choice of either a print or online subscription to the 36th volume of the Society's journal, HUMOR. All Regular Members who renew on or before February 1 for the 2023 membership year, may renew for a print or an electronic online subscription to HUMOR with a $5 discount. After February 1, the fees increase to the regular pricing. For 2023, the journal will include more original research articles per issue with the book reviews published solely online. Print subscribers will receive online access to the book reviews.

Humor scholars who wish to be a part of the ISHS network, but cannot afford full dues may join the Society as an Associate member. Associate members pay only $30 and receive our newsletter, membership directories, bibliography access, book discounts, and ISHS Conference discounts, but do not receive the Society's journal.
