Thank you for your interest in joining the Hume Society.

Membership grants you access to restricted parts of this site, showing special offers for members, society information, forms for taking part in committee elections, etc. It also comes with a subscription to the journal Hume Studies, and access to the full online archive.

Note that you do not need to be a member to submit a paper for the Hume Conference, but membership is a prerequisite for taking part in the conference itself.

Membership cost varies according to salary, and there is a discount for 5-year membership. The cost of membership is outlined in the following table:
