projects which exist in such varied areas as (but not limited to)
literature, English language, history, political science, film and media,
pedagogy, ethnology, religion, economy, and geography, and multidisciplinary
approaches such as queer studies, and gender studies.

All proposals will be considered and the conference committee will announce
its selection and publish themes for workshops following its meeting at the
end of September. During the course of the semester, information regarding
registration and accomodation will be published at this website. Please note
that to participate in the conference you need to be a member of an American
Studies association.

Växjö is located in Småland in south central Sweden in the midst of the
Swedish crystal kingdom, with convenient and frequent rail and air
