The Netherlands American Studies Review (NASR) is the student journal of the Netherlands American Studies Association (NASA). First published in the Spring of 2020, NASR aims to showcase excellent student work from Dutch universities related to North American history, politics, literature, culture, and society. We are now accepting submissions for the 2025, no. 2 edition. For this upcoming edition we particularly welcome papers that focus on the environment, but we continue to encourage the submission of all papers on topics related to North America.
We welcome papers written by bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students from Dutch universities. Students do not have to be enrolled in an American Studies program, but submissions must be relevant to at least one of the (sub)fields mentioned above. Recent graduates can send in work written in the last two years.
Students can submit either book reviews (500-700 words) or papers (2000-5000 words). Papers may be based on a thesis, as long as they are shortened to meet the word limit.

Please email submissions to NLAmericanStudiesReview@gmail.com before February 28, 2025. We make a selection of papers after this deadline and will get back to you by late March. Once we have accepted your paper, we will start the editorial process. During this process, you are expected to improve and adjust your paper in consultation with one of our editors.
