Membership is open to scholars across all disciplines. NCIS assesses the qualifications of each membership candidate for intellectual contribution, scholarly rigor, and independent status prior to acceptance.
Our next international conference will take place at the University of Massachussetts, Amherst, 21-23 June, 2019, on the theme "Making Connections, Meeting Challenges".
