About AAASS
An outgrowth of the Committee on Slavic Studies established by the American Council of Learned Societies in 1938, the AAASS was founded a decade later for the purpose of publishing the American Slavic and East European Review, and in 1960 became a membership organization. The Association represents American scholarship in the post-Soviet/East Central European field nationally and internationally. Its representatives serve on such bodies as the U.S. State Department's Advisory Committee for Studies of Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the former Soviet Union, and the International Council for Central and East European Studies. The Association is also a constituent society of the American Council of Learned Societies.
