International Committee

The International Committee has as its function to keep the Council and the association’s membership informed of the issues affecting international scholars and students in the profession and has responsibility for special tasks involving international scholars and students in the membership. The International Committee is composed of fifteen members of the association, one of whom is the international member of the Council. The fourteen non-Council members are named by the Executive Committee with the approval of the Council, following an open call to the membership for self-nominations and suggestions. Each of these fourteen members serve three-year, non-renewable, staggered terms. Five of these members come from, and represent the interests of, the five separate regions of the world. The chair of the International Committee is named from the committee’s membership by the Executive Committee with the approval of the Council and serves a single term not to exceed three years.

International Committee Events at ASA Baltimore 2011

Dear colleagues,

As chair of the International Committee of the ASA, I would like to invite you personally to the events organized by the IC during the 2011 convention in Baltimore. The International Committee has been devoting its efforts to the internationalization of American studies and for more than a decade it has enabled scholars around the world to meet, share experiences and collaborate in exciting and innovative international projects.

I would like to draw your attention in particular to The International Partnership Luncheon (Thursday, 12:00, Hilton Baltimore, Key Ballroom 10). You can sign up for this wonderful networking event at which you will meet many international scholars or U.S. colleagues involved in international exchanges. In addition to giving you a good meal for a very modest price, the meeting will open networking perspectives for you and your institution. Come have lunch with us and discover the International initiative, which will enable you and your university to effectively connect with international scholars and institutions abroad.

Come and see what happens in American studies around the world and see how current issues in American studies travel beyond U.S. borders by participating in The ASA International Committee Talkshops:

I. “The Internationalization of Latino/a Studies” (Thurs., 20th October, 10:00-11:45, Hilton Baltimore, Johnson A)

II. “Teaching Native American and First Nations Literatures in International Classrooms” (Thurs., 20th October, 2:00-3:45, Hilton Baltimore, Johnson A)

III. Teaching the American “Other” in Diverse Cultural Contexts (Thurs., 20th October, 4:00-5:45, Hilton Baltimore, Johnson A).

I look forward to meeting you at the Baltimore convention and stand by at all times for any inquiry about the International Committee of the ASA.

Sincerely,

Boris Vejdovsky, Ph.D.
Chair of the ASA
