http://www.theasa.net/project_crossroads/ 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 2007 2007-06-25T14:16:00-05:00 http://www.theasa.net/project_crossroads/page/crossroads_report_2004/ http://www.theasa.net/project_crossroads/page/crossroads_report_2004/#When:14:16:00Z Posted in Posted in Crossroads Project

The redesign is going forward. Plans for the redesign, as well as mock-ups for the new site, will be discussed at the Advisory Board meeting at the annual meeting.Posted in Posted in Crossroads Project

This decision paralleled plans already well underway for the Crossroads Project to redesign its own site; as of September, it has nearly completed a redesign of the site.Posted in Posted in Crossroads Project

Such collaboration on the report is symptomatic of the excellent working relations the Board has enjoyed with the Director and his able staff throughout the year.Posted in Posted in Crossroads Project

We have highlighted in bold face a few items that raise policy and strategic issues that the Executive Committee may wish to discuss.Posted in Posted in Crossroads Project
