Researchers, teachers, students, writers, activists, curators, community organizers, and activists from around the world who are dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of U.S. culture and history in a global context.
Many things that connect us to each other. We publish American Quarterly; organize an annual international meeting and regional events; provide resources; and collaborate with museums, public institutions, and communities.
Original research, teaching, critical thinking, public discussion, and dissent. We share a commitment to viewing U.S. history and culture from multiple perspectives and taking a stand on issues of importance and broad consensus.
Participation in the ASA gives you access to a vibrant scholarly community—at and beyond the annual meeting. You’ll find abundant opportunities for professional advancement, intellectual engagement, and personal development.
Editors Maile Arvin, Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart, Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada, Brandy Nālani McDougall, and Stephanie Nohelani Teves
It is with tremendous pride, gratitude, and humility that we deliver the final special issue of American Quarterly under the helm of the Hawai‘i based editorial team. The guest editors and contributors to this issue remind American studies scholars of the urgency of not only questioning but firmly rejecting Americanness. At the same time, through the various genres of writing and forms of expression, the issue shows the connection, appreciation, solidarity, and love across Americanness that we also must continue to insist on.
