Membership Information
Members now have the option of purchasing 2-year or 3-year memberships at a discount of 10% per year. Discounted prices for these multiple-year memberships are listed below.
There are 2 options for regular and reduced fee membership. The full-paper option includes both print and on-line subscription to JSPR and to PR ($90 regular membership; $58 student membership). The reduced-paper option includes online only subscription to JSPR and both print and online subscription to PR ($50 regular membership; $38 student membership). Regular and reduced fee membership also includes two annual newsletters, IARR announcements, discounts on conference registration fees, access to a membership directory, and publisher discounts.
Reduced fee members include:
(1) current students in a field that is related to the study of personal relationships. Upon completion of a graduate degree in a field that involves the study of personal relationships, student members automatically become eligible for regular membership.
(2) those currently employed as a faculty member in a field related to the study of personal relationships or who work in a professional practice related to personal relationships and who reside in a country designated by the World Bank as anything other than a high-income economy (country income status can be checked here).

Reduced Fee members must provide proof of their relevant status within seven (7) days of web sign-up. For students, a brief email from a faculty member to IARR Secretary-Treasurer Brooke C. Feeney (iarr@andrew.cmu.edu) will serve as proof.
