Slovak Studies Association (SSA)
The Slovak Studies Association (SSA) was founded in 1977 and in 1983 incorporated as a scholarly not-for-profit organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. SSA is to promote interdisciplinary scholarly research, publication, and teaching related to the Slovak experience the world over, to help scholars interested in Slovak studies be in contact, to sponsor panels and sessions on Slovak themes at scholarly conferences, to act as a clearinghouse for information concerning Slovak studies, to issue twice annually a newsletter for its members, and to conduct all its activities in accordance with absolute academic freedom and completely devoid of partiality to any particular philosophical, political, or religious orientation.
