The graduated annual dues structure keeps membership affordable for non-tenure-track scholars while assuring the sustainability of the organization and its journal into the future through contributions from more established members. We especially encourage long-term supporters of ASHR to become “Sustaining Members.”
One year of membership in the society includes subscription to the society’s annual publication, Journal for the History of Rhetoric (with free access online), and notification about and registration for all ASHR-sponsored events.
Memberships can be paid via PayPal. Just select the level of your membership below and follow the instructions.

Gifting a Membership
Use the links below if you would like to gift a membership to another person. Please select the appropriate membership level for the giftee, even if it differs from your position and current membership status. Please also note that you will need to complete a separate transaction to renew/join yourself and for each membership that you would like to gift. While you should enter the giftee’s name, address, and other such information, please be sure to include your own payment information when directed to do so using Paypal. Moreover, as part of the gifting process, you will need to create the recipient’s ASHR user name and temporary password. We suggest FirstnameLastname as a template and ASHR2022 for these fields, respectively. Recipients will be able to change these fields after their registration is processed. We will also reach out to them directly to welcome them to ASHR. But, should you wish, it may be nice to let them know that they’ve received membership as a gift!
