Califnornia American Studies Association

California American Studies Association (CASA)

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).
