FAB Membership

FAB membership will be changing! From January 2008, membership will include subscription to our very own International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics.

Details about the new membership rates and how to subscribe via Indiana University Press are available via the IJFAB membership page:

From 1 November 2007, all FAB subscriptions are via Indiana University Press. The Philosophy Documentation Center is no longer able to process FAB memberships after this date.
