aspeers is the first and currently only peer-reviewed print journal for
MA-level American studies scholars in Europe. It is a platform for the
best work done by American studies graduate students below the PhD
level. It aims to foster academic exchange among young Americanists
across Europe, and to thereby advance the field as well as its genuine
European perspective on ‘America’ and its presences and effects around
the world. In addition to a general section, aspeers features a topical
one that brings academic and creative works into a dialogue on one
common theme.
For the general section of its fifth issue, aspeers seeks outstanding
academic writing demonstrating the excellence of graduate scholarship,
the range of concerns scrutinized in the field, and the diversity of
perspectives employed. We thus explicitly invite revised versions of
term papers or chapters from theses written by students of European
Master (and equivalent) programs. For this section, there are no topical
limitations. Contributions should be up to 10,000 words (including
abstract and list of works cited). The submission deadline is 30 October
2011.
aspeers 5 (2012) will also contain a topical section organized around
the theme “American Food Cultures.” We encourage European MA-level
students to submit papers on this topic in particular. Please consult
our topical Calls for Submissions for academic and art contributions at
http://www.aspeers.com/2012.
