Memberships

Associate Membership is a free, entry-level option for individuals who want to stay connected with the Anthropological Society of Western Australia (ASWA). It is ideal for students, early-career researchers, community members, and prospective members who are interested in anthropology but not yet ready to commit to a paid membership. Associate Membership does not include access to member-only content, discounted event pricing, voting rights, or full engagement benefits.

As an Ordinary paid-up ASWA Member, you will receive a range of membership benefits, with instant access to our Member Jungle site and the ASWA mobile app when you sign up. Ordinary Membership is open to all persons who are in sympathy with the Objects of the Society (s.3 of ASWA's Constitution).

To become an ASWA Professional Member, you must: (i) hold a post-graduate research degree in Social or Cultural Anthropology or Sociology at a recognised institution, or have at least four years of academic training in either discipline; or (ii) In addition to completing a basic pass-degree major in Social or Cultural Anthropology or Sociology, demonstrate competence in the field as evidenced by relevant work experience, research or publication.
