Southern Chapter, The ASA http://www.theasa.net/chapter_southern/ The American Studies Association, exists to promote and encourage the study of American culture--past and present. Membership numbers approximately 5,000 and is open to all individuals and to cultural or educational institutions. Chartered in 1951, the American Studies Association now has more than 5,000 members. They come from many fields: history, literature, religion, art, philosophy, music, science, folklore, ethnic studies, anthropology, material culture, museum studies, sociology, government, communications, education, library science, gender studies, popular culture, and others. They include persons concerned with American culture: teachers and other professionals whose interests extend beyond their speciality, faculty and students associated with American Studies programs in colleges and secondary schools, museum directors and librarians interested in all segments of American life, public officials and administrators concerned with the broadest aspects of education. They approach American culture from many directions but have in common the desire to view America as a whole rather from the perspective of a single discipline. {weblog_language} Copyright 2010 2010-08-27T13:34:38+00:00 SASA’s new URL:  http://www.cas.gsu.edu/sasa/ http://www.theasa.net/chapter_southern/item/sasas_new_url_httpwwwcasgsuedusasa/ http://www.theasa.net/chapter_southern/item/sasas_new_url_httpwwwcasgsuedusasa/#When:13:34:38Z Georgia State University’s Christine Skwiot, who is co-hosting our next biennial conference—February 17-19 in Atlanta—reminds me that posting this brand-new URL here’s a grand idea, et viola!   http://www.cas.gsu.edu/sasa/ Leave us not forget that September 15 deadline for proposing papers and panels and such, and for now, Ciao—D.M.
