ASA 2000 (Detroit) Online Panels

http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~amstdy/asa2000/

H-AMSTDY, in collaboration with the American Studies Association and the American Studies Crossroads Project, wish to announce the American Studies Association's Detroit 2000 Online Panels series.

Eight panels from the ASA 2000 conference, representing forty scholars, have agreed to participate in this project. Panel members have submitted papers, source documents and/or supplementary materials, all of which can be accessed from the ASA 2000 Online Panel website at http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~amstdy/asa2000/. In addition, each panel's homepage features a web-based discussion board to facilitate the posting of comments to the panel from its readers.

Our aim is to create an electronic space in which ongoing conversations around the panel topics can take place, both prior to and following the formal presentation of these papers in Detroit. Although many of us will be unable to attend this year's conference, it is our hope that the online discussion forms that we have created for each panel will extend the social boundaries of the conversations that will be taking place in Detroit by enabling the entire online community of students and teachers of American Studies to participate.

We invite you to visit these panels, contribute your thoughts, and share the URL with a friend. Thomas Thurston thurston@ilt.columbia.edu David Phillips dphillips@wesleyan.edu Web Editors, H-Amstdy ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
