The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) is the leading international scholarly society dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about Central Asia, the Caucasus, Russia, and Eastern Europe in regional and global context. We have approximately 3,000 members and subscribers in the U.S. and abroad, primarily from the academic community, as well as from the government and private sectors, but membership is open to anyone interested in furthering the scholarly objectives of the ASEEES. Members receive Slavic Review, the Association journal, and NewsNet, the ASEEES newsletter, as well as several benefits available exclusively to members online. For details on membership benefits and dues information, please see Individual Membership.

We also organize an annual convention, as well as sponsor other conferences and offer several other programs, including webinars, mentoring, and advocacy on behalf of the field.

Return

There are two ways to join or renew your membership:

Return

Membership is always January 1 to December 31. If you join during the year, your membership is retroactive to January 1. However, if you join after November 1, your membership will not take effect until the following January 1.

Return

We do not have a specific rate for retired members—our membership rates are based on income categories. If you would like to continue as a full member, you can simply select the membership dues which apply to your current income as an emeritus/a.

Return

You will log in as yourself—if you're familiar with Facebook, think of your department's account as like a Page. If you are the department's Primary Contact, if you log in under your own name and visit the Online Store, you will be asked if you would like to "Shop For" yourself or your organization. Choose the organization's name and proceed to select your institution's membership level, then proceed through checkout. If you are not asked to Shop For the organization, or do not see the "[Select Customer]" link in the Online Store, you are not properly set up as Primary Contact—write aseees@pitt.edu to have the institution's Primary Contact set.

First, make sure you don't already have an account—if you have been a member of ASEEES or AAASS in the last ten years, or attended a recent ASEEES Convention, there may already be an account in your name. If an account exists under an old email address you can't access, or if you are uncertain if an account already exists for you, please contact ASEEES at aseees@pitt.edu or +1 (412) 648-9911 for assistance.

If you're sure you don't already have one, visit New User Registration to create an account.  The system will then walk you through filling out your membership profile. Make sure you enter at least one accurate mailing address to receive your copies of Slavic Review and NewsNet.
