The ASL is excited to announce that we can once again accept members from the People’s Republic of China. Under PRC regulations we remain prohibited from mailing journals to members in China; however, we can offer online access to the journals through Cambridge University Press. Logicians based in China who are interested in joining the ASL as new members are encouraged to apply to the ASL Committee on Membership for a free initial two-year outreach membership by emailing their mailing address and professional affiliation to asl-membership@googlegroups.com.
Please note that this does not apply to citizenship but to physical residence/employment, i.e. A Chinese citizen employed at a US or European university cannot get a free outreach membership. See more information about this at the bottom of this page (Free Initial Individual Outreach Memberships).
ASL Membership is on a calendar year basis. Regardless of the month you apply for a 1-year membership, it will expire on December 31st of that year. Online applications received by Cambridge University Press in November or December are processed to begin on January 1 of the following year.
The benefits of membership include personal subscriptions to the current volumes of The Journal of Symbolic Logic, The Review of Symbolic Logic, and The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic (for which you may select the medium for each) and receipt of the quarterly ASL Newsletter mailing. Student members have the opportunity to apply for travel awards to ASL-Sponsored Meetings.
