APA membership includes many exclusive benefits. To get access to these benefits, join or renew today!
Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association
The Proceedings and Addresses has historically been the primary publication for important news and information about the APA and its activities. In the 2013–2014 membership year, the Proceedings and Addresses transitioned to a single annual print volume rather than five issues per year. The annual volume includes the annual presidential addresses and prize lectures, as well as the memorial
minutes and awards; this print volume is mailed in the fall only to those members who subscribe for print mailing. The volume is available online to all members. The divisional meeting programs continue to be printed for distribution at the annual meetings but are no longer mailed in advance. Meeting programs are available online several months before each meeting. All other content previously published in the Proceedings and Addresses,
including minutes of board meetings, divisional business meetings, and divisional executive committee meetings, is available online only.
APA Studies
Several APA committees publish high quality, peer-reviewed scholarship in the
APA Studies (formerly known as the
APA Newsletters).
APA Studies are published in the spring and fall. We are currently publishing
APA Studies on the following topics:
Journal of the American Philosophical Association (J-APA)
In 2015, the American Philosophical Association partnered with Cambridge University Press (CUP) to launch the Journal of the American Philosophical Association (J-APA), a quarterly general philosophy journal. It is an online-only publication, and APA members receive access to the journal free of charge.
APA Live online events and APA On Demand video library
In APA Live events, a diverse range of philosophers shares expertise and experience on topics that span the profession. More than just a viewing experience, these interactive events provide the opportunity to ask questions and share resources.
If you can't attend a live event, you can find the recorded webinar on the APA On Demand page.
