The second conference of the International American Studies Association will be this coming August in Ottawa. The program is posted as a Word document that you can download by clicking a link on the official conference web site, and here's the link to the official visitors' web site for the city of Ottawa (French site also available). I'm looking forward to visiting that part of the world and seeing some familiar faces from Leiden, Oxford, and of course Hartford and Atlanta.
On Thursday afternoon, we're doing a linked session (too ambitious?) combining a round table discussion and a workshop for brainstorming new ideas and solutions for networking American studies around the world. We are hoping to make (and also hear) some concrete, practical suggestions for how to foster networking across boundaries of language, location, and even discipline. Any ideas or suggestions before the conference are extremely welcome! Please just click the comments button or send one of us an e-mail. If you don't know our e-mails, please request them as a comment; we are a little protective of them because of spambots, etc.
