The University of Arizona Press
When: November 20-22, 2025
Where: San Juan, Puerto Rico
The University of Arizona Press is attending the 2025 American Studies Association conference in San Juan! This year’s theme is “Late-Stage American Empire?”
On the theme, ASA writes, “We invite discussion at our 2025 conference of what American Studies is, and can be, in this moment of ongoing catastrophe and accelerating devolution. Are we experiencing the late-stage of empire and how might this era inform American Studies, broadly conceived? What sorts of violent eruptions characterize this stage of imperial transformation and through what methods, questions, theories (and from where) can we locate resources for meaning, imagine new forms of sociality, and articulate new modes of knowledge production? What possible futures do our methods enable or foreclose at the present conjuncture? How might Black Studies, Indigenous Studies, Ethnic Studies, Critical Disability Studies, Queer and Trans Studies, and Puerto Rican Studies offer critical resources for understanding the present conjuncture?”
We look forward to meeting you at the conference. Be sure to stop by our booth to browse our wonderful collection of new and recent titles, and talk to our Editor-in-Chief Kristen Buckles! If you would like to set up a meeting with Kristen, email her at kbuckles@uapress.arizona.edu.
