The American Studies Association maintains a shared news feed and calendar for all chapters, committees, and caucuses. While much of the year is focused on organizing for the annual meeting, work performed under the umbrella of the ASA happens year-round.
News and Events
Committees, Chapters, and Caucuses
The American Studies Association offers a “big tent” for people otherwise separated by disciplines, geographies, and professional barriers. With a range of community groups, there’s a place for everyone. Join us in creating innovative resources and programming to support interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field and at your institution.
