For the first time, NEASA is hosting a pre-conference blog, a place where presenters and participants will share some of their ideas and perspectives toward their papers, on parallel and related topics, and in American Studies conversations more generally. Other panelists and presenters will respond in comments, but so too should any and all interested folks read and respond to the posts, which are meant to engage with American Studies conversations well beyond just this year and conference. Each week a different panel or two will be featured; see the schedule below for more information. And please stop by often and add your voice to the mix!
