Membership
Membership is open to the broad categories of all scholars who actively contribute to the scientific development of sociological knowledge in or on Europe. There are three kinds of members: regular, institutional and student.
Regular membership is open to scholars who either carry out sociological research, teach sociology, have sociological jobs, are members of European national sociological associations, or have academic degrees and training in sociology.
Starting in 1999, membership of the ESA is now more complete than ever: members of the ESA receive the “European Sociologist” Newsletter, they get access to the journals “European Societies” and “European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology”, both published by Routledge, and they pay a reduced fee for the ESA conferences.
