Membership

Learn more about our membership benefits and policies

As part of the package of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) related reforms, the CSA’s membership form is an opportunity to assess the success of the CSA in attracting members who reflect the diversity of Canadian sociology, to develop initiatives to support members belonging to socially marginalized groups, and to resist the structures of inequality that govern our everyday lives. The data collected will be optional. We commit to reporting these data only in aggregate form that does not identify any members. We will use any data collected to improve programs and services to reflect the diversity of the membership as well as ensure representation within the governing bodies of the CSA.
