What are the benefits of AAGE membership?
As a an autonomous 501c3 nonprofit organization, our members believe that our research and other resources should be made widely accessible. For this reason, we keep our membership dues low and most of our activities, like the journal and blog are free to everyone. Our members are scholars and professionals who are committed to our mission of free and open research. Here are a few other reasons to consider joining AAGE:
- Locate others with common interests in aging and the life course across disciplines
- Opportunities to network with researchers with links to peer reviewed journals, and grant and job possibilities on the internet and at conferences.

- Opportunities to contribute to book reviews, blog content, as well as publish in Anthropology & Aging.
- Access to our members-only listserv postings of job announcements, call for papers, conference announcements and other opportunities.
- Support in organizing panels at conferences.

- For more senior scholars, the opportunity to mentor younger scholars entering the field of anthropology and aging, as well as learn from these mentees.
