As part of the American Studies Association’s 2017 annual meeting theme, “Pedagogies of Dissent,” the Program Committee is encouraging participation from the meeting's attendees in the creation of a mixtape.
Members are encouraged to submit song suggestions for the mixtape that are associated with, or inspired by, dissent (in the widest possible sense of the term). The submissions will be compiled into a shareable playlist and "digital notebook" that will be distributed to the membership before the meeting. Additionally, the mixtape will be discussed during a presidential plenary session at the annual meeting on Thursday November 9 from 6:00 – 7:45 p.m.
Community announcements and events are services that are offered by the ASA to support the organizing efforts of critical constituency groups. They do not reflect the decisions or actions of the association’s governance bodies, the National Council or Executive Committee. Questions should be directed to the committee, caucus, or chapter that has authored and posted this notice.
