Caucuses
About ASA Caucuses
Definition of a ASA Caucus
Caucuses represent the populist side of the American Studies Association. The caucuses also reflect the ASA’s commitment to diversity and access, as well as the vitality of the field and association. The primary purpose of a caucus should be to offer networking opportunities for its participants. Thus, caucuses should function like discussion groups in MLA and other organizations that are dedicated to a particular subject, topic, or approach.
Caucus Participation
All caucuses must be registered with the ASA to receive association benefits that include: Publishing articles in the ASA Newsletter; building webpages at Crossroads; linking to ASA webpages, being listed on the ASA Caucus Page; and sponsoring meetings, receptions, and panels at the Annual Meeting (subject to existing policies and procedures). However, caucuses may not receive funds from the association. Nor are caucuses entitled to slots on the boards, committees, and task forces of the organization.
Annual Meeting Submissions
Caucuses are encouraged to submit multiple session proposals for the annual meeting (subject to existing policies and procedures). They may, however, officially sponsor only one session. If the program committee approves their session proposal(s), the caucus may be listed in the official program book as the session sponsor for one session. Caucuses are not entitled to an automatic slot on annual convention programs. Caucuses may request social and professional space at the annual meeting on a space-available, first-come, first served basis.
Caucus Registration
In order to create / register a new caucus, the caucuses must submit to a description, including their rationale and purpose, an agenda with their plans and goals, and contact information. This agenda may be submitted to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
