The ASA website receives an average of 5,000 unique visitors every week. A notice will be emailed to the advertiser listing the ad’s specific web address. The position will be removed two weeks after the deadline for applications or upon receipt of notification that the position has been filled.

Newsletter Display and Text Ads

The ASA Newsletter (ISSN 0742-9290) is published quarterly (March, June, September, December) and has a circulation of approximately 6,000. The deadline for submission of display and text ads is the first of the month preceding the date of publication. For example, a display ad or text ad which is to appear in the March Newsletter must be received in the editor’s office by February 1. The editor reserves the right to edit all copies and to refuse ads.

Rates: for a full-page ad (specs. 7-1/2” x 10”), the cost is $450; for a half-page ad (specs. 5” x 7-1/2”), the cost is $300; and for a one-quarter page ad (specs. 3-3/4” x 5”), the cost is $200. Display ads appear throughout the issue in attractive enclosed boxes and may include university or institutional crests, monograms, and other such symbols.

The American Studies Association publishes “Employment and Fellowship Opportunities” as a service of ASA to both employers and job applicants. ASA recommends that all positions for American Studies practitioners should be advertised in “Employment and Fellowship Opportunities.” Association members should notify appropriate officials at their institutions of this service and advise them to take advantage of it.

Information in listings is assumed to reflect bona fide openings at the time the ads were placed. Applicants should contact employers for more complete information or changes in the job listing. All applications and inquiries for a position should be acknowledged promptly and courteously. The ASA expects institutions in the U.S. to adhere to Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employment practices.

Questions about advertising should be addressed to the American Studies Association, 1120 19th Street, NW, Suite #301, Washington, DC 20036; Phone: (202) 467-4783; Fax: (202) 467-4786 Email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
