IASPM-US is taking big steps to make the organization more accessible, 
inclusive and visible. We adjusted our membership fee structure in 
2017-18 to offer more options for students and lower-income members and 
cut our bottom fees significantly. We now offer a sliding scale 
membership for students of $25-40, and fees for non-student members 
start at $35 depending on income level. We have made similar adjustments 
to our conference registration fees as well. To join IASPM-US, go to

This summer, IASPM-US published the first issue of its journal, the 
/Journal of Popular Music Studies/, with its new publisher, University 
of California Press. The double issue, produced under the auspices of 
co-editors Oliver Wang and Diane Pecknold with managing editor Meghan 
Drury, includes a stellar mix of full-length articles by Kevin Fellezs, 
Sharon Hochhauser, David Verbuc, and Eric Weisbard; specially 
commissioned album reviews by Taylor Black and Shana Redmond; a feature 
where Amy Coddington comments on a “classic” JPMS article from 1988 by 
Venise Berry; and the printed version of Nadine Hubbs’ stirring keynote 
address from the 2017 conference in Cleveland. Content of the special 
issue is free, and can be accessed athttp://jpms.ucpress.edu 
<http://jpms.ucpress.edu/>. We also welcome incoming editors Robin James 
and Eric Weisbard, managing editor Esther Morgan-Ellis, and assistant 
book review editor Alyx Vesey who joins continuing review editor David 
Suisman.
