The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) is featured in Craft in America’s hour-long episode “West,” premiering on PBS on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 10:00 pm (MST), and streaming starting November 24, 2025, on the PBS app, www.pbs.org/craftinamerica, and www.craftinamerica.org.

“West” is part of a four-episode series (“North” and “South” will premiere in winter 2026), part of “Handwork 2026,” a year-long collaboration reflecting the diversity of craft over the past 250 years.

The episode highlights IAIA’s campus, students, alum, faculty, leadership, and distinguished voices such as former U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (Pueblo of Laguna and Jemez Pueblo), internationally recognized artist, IAIA alum, and Trustee Rose B. Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo) ’07, ’18, President Emeritus Dr. Robert Martin (Cherokee Nation), and many others, honoring IAIA’s more than 60 years of creative roots and its position as the birthplace of contemporary Indigenous art.

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;
