A deep and dynamic membership

The Federation is the collective voice of more than 91,000 scholars, students, and practitioners from every discipline in the humanities and social sciences. Powerful, vibrant, and diverse, the membership includes over 160 universities, colleges, and scholarly associations. 

• Scholarly association members represent a wide array of disciplines – from theatre arts, literature, and history, to sociology, education, and political science. These associations of researchers and graduate students at Canadian institutions are recognized for scholarly excellence, creativity, and leadership.
