Encyclopedia of American Studies, The ASA http://www.theasa.net/project_eas_online/ 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 2008 2008-08-27T21:00:01-05:00 WELCOMING SUGGESTIONS FOR ARTICLES FOR EAS http://www.theasa.net/project_eas_online/item/welcoming_suggestions_for_articles_for_eas/ http://www.theasa.net/project_eas_online/item/welcoming_suggestions_for_articles_for_eas/#When:21:00:01Z The Editors of the Encyclopedia of American Studies welcome proposals from members of the ASA for new articles.Posted in The Editors of the Encyclopedia of American Studies welcome proposals from members of the ASA for new articles.

Council who are unfamiliar with the origins of the Encyclopedia of American Studies, let me offer first a brief summary: The EAS originated in October 1996 in a decision by the American Studies Council to cooperate with George Kurian (an independent editor who had produced dozens of reference works) in the production of the first American Studies encyclopedia. Mr. Kurian, who had entered into an arrangement with Grolier Press, solicited the ASA's support and essentially ceded to the ASA editorial control of the EAS.Posted in Encyclopedia of American Studies, let me offer first a brief summary: The EAS originated in October 1996 in a decision by the American Studies Council to cooperate with George Kurian (an independent editor who had produced dozens of reference works) in the production of the first American Studies encyclopedia.
