The North American Dostoevsky Society Membership is intended both for professional academics as well as interested non-professional readers in North America. NADS supports Dostoevsky scholarship, teaching, and outreach in North America. Your tax-deductible membership and donations fund our website and e-journal, and provide grant support for Dostoevsky-related projects, student essay prizes, and other initiatives, as well as travel to conferences by scholars in need of funding. Lifetime membership is $500. Annual memberships range from $10 - $100 depending on your circumstances. Membership runs for one year from the day of activation and renews each year on that date.
