Now available! "The Gendered Republic: Reimagining Identity in the New Nation," edited by Craig Thompson Friend and Lorri Glover.

What does it mean to study early through ? The essays in this collection, written by the best emerging and established historians in the field, bring together women’s history with masculinity studies to showcase the transformative impact of gender history on our understanding of the early American republic. In addition to state-of-the-field historiographical overviews, 'The Gendered Republic' features essays that use gender history to suggest new chronological and geographic frameworks, broaden understandings of politics and citizenship, highlight the complexities of intersectional identities, and explore new approaches that center bodies and sexualities. Collectively, the contributors showcase the vibrancy of gender history as a frame of inquiry, revealing how shifting notions of women’s and men’s roles shaped the lives of people in the early American republic—White, Black, and Indigenous—and how those people, in turn, experienced and redefined gender and, with it, their communities, cultures, laws, families, and nations.

“Against our contemporary backdrop of quantifiable metrics and codifiable learning outcomes, Ron Burnett delivers an impassioned—and refreshingly personal—case for the wonderful messiness of teaching and learning.” —Jamer Hunt The New School

Ron Burnett offers a timely and provocative vision for educational transformation. Drawing on his decades-long career as both an educator and institutional leader, Burnett crafts a compelling narrative that bridges personal experience with forward-thinking educational theory and practice. This book suggests that transformative learning demands time – far more than our rapid-fire systems allow us.

Journal mission and aims

Interrogating the notion of "America" and looking at the U.S. within its transnational and (trans-)hemispheric interconnections, JAAAS wants to challenge disciplinary boundaries by bringing together original and innovative work by scholars who focus on topics as diverse as literature, cultural studies, film and new media, visual arts, ethnic studies, indigenous studies, performance studies, q***r studies, border studies, mobility studies, age studies, game studies, and animal studies. Apart from offering insights into trans- and international American literary and cultural studies and offering European perspectives on America, the journal also seeks scholarship that deals with history, music, politics, geography, ecocriticism, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, law, and any other aspect of American culture and society.

JAAAS welcomes submissions from new, emerging, and established scholars on various topics related to American culture (literature, film, television, visual arts, etc.). Although scholars working in the broad field of American Studies are the expected primary authors, anyone conducting research on American culture is encouraged to submit a proposal.

Work that meets the following prerequisites is likely to be a good fit for JAAAS:


  • It is original scholarship, neither previously published in English nor under consideration elsewhere, with a compelling argument;
