Mission Statement
William James Studies is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, scholarly articles related to the life, work, and influence of William James. William James Studies has, as of 2026, begun to institute a yearly membership payment requirement on a sliding scale to help fund our current and future work. We wish to ensure that all who have an interest in William James have access to its contents. We hope you appreciate our efforts in this ongoing work. The journal is published online by the William James Society. Your joining the Society helps fund the creation and circulation of high-quality work and the maintenance of the William James Studies journal. Please contact us at treasurer@wjsociety.org if the $10 minimum payment for access is a burden to you, and we will, if that is the case, provide a waiver so you can access our journal website.
