New members are always welcome. By joining, you help to support the activities of the BRS, these WWW pages, and our shared interests and values.1 Benefits of Membership BRS members receive two journals, The Bertrand Russell Society Quarterly (successor to the BRS Newsletter) and Russell: The Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies (published twice a year by McMaster University). Every year we have an Annual Meeting that is inevitably a gala affair, with a weekend full of scholarly and popular presentations about Russell and related subjects, two business meetings, Red Hackle hour (in honor of Russell's favorite refreshment), a banquet, awards, and good fellowship. Members have the right to borrow materials from the BRS Library and to vote in Society elections. Members may be as active or inactive as they wish. All are encouraged to attend the annual meeting and otherwise take part in Society affairs, by serving on a committee, contributing to the Quarterly, making a presentation at the annual meeting, or undertaking some special task. Some members are very active. Some wish merely to be kept informed. How Do I Join the BRS?

Membership is on an annual basis, with renewals due on January 1. All new memberships are considered as retroactive to January 1, so that, whenever you join, you will receive all the publications (four newsletters and two journals) for that year. The one exception is for new members joining in October-December; their first "year" begins then and lasts through December of the following year. 1 Most people would rather die than think. In fact, they do. – BR |
