2025 CSAA Biennial Conference
It is a pleasure to announce that the next CSAA conference organized by the Czech and Slovak Association for American Studies & the Department of British and American Studies, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia will take place in Košice on 12-13 Sept 2025. The theme is
"East Meets West—Evolving Cross-Cultural Perspectives on America’s Changing Image"
We invite submissions for the conference, “East Meets West: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on America’s Changing Image,” which will examine how America’s global image has transformed in recent years. In the 21st century, representations of America are undergoing significant shifts. Once central to narratives of liberty and opportunity, its image is now examined through a diverse range of literary, cultural, philosophical lenses, including perspectives from both within America and regions such as Central and Eastern Europe and Asia and beyond.
