About
CASA
- CASA was created
in 1982, when the theretofore distinct northern and
southern California ASA chapters were combined. Annual
three-day conferences were held every spring from
1983 to 2003. CASA is currently in a re-grouping
phase.
-
- In previous years, CASA conferences
addressed focused topics and drew presenters and
attendees not only from California but from other
regions. Themes included "Millennial
Transgressions," "Over
the Edge" "On
Edge" "Corridors
and Open Spaces: Place, Time, and Texts," "Families,
Tribes, and Communities," "Expanding Borders
and Boundaries: Rethinking 'America'"; "California
Cultures;" "Cities on the Edge;" "Sin, Stigma, and
Risk;" Origins and Visions: American Voices at the
Quincentennial;" "Moving America;" and "Place in
American Culture." At least as important as the scholarly
aspect of the annual conference has been the establishment
and renewal of friendships among members. CASA historically
has been strongly committed to active participation
by members from all levels (student/faculty/independent
scholars).
