We’re pleased to announce that the Netherlands American Studies Association will hold its 30th annual Amerikanistendag on Friday, April 25, 2025. The event will be hosted by our colleagues in American Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
The Amerikanistendag is a conference for students and recent graduates at the BA, (Res)MA, and PhD level. The atmosphere is welcoming and collegial, enabling fun connections among new friends. Students who present at the conference will benefit from substantive feedback from their peers and scholars from across Dutch universities, as well valuable conference experience for their CVs. Since this year’s focus is on research in progress, presenters should not feel pressure to deliver perfect presentations and can expect to receive helpful input that moves their research projects forward.
We invite presentations on any topic related to the USA and the Americas. We also welcome approaches from various disciplinary perspectives, including (but not limited to): history, literature, cultural studies, media studies, economics, political science, gender studies, philosophy, and law.
If you want to present, please submit a document with your contact information and a short proposal for your presentation (maximum 200 words) by Monday, March 3, 2025 by sending an email to Katy Hull at c.s.m.hull@uva.nl
