Association for the Study of Literature and Environment
|
The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) is the principal professional association for American and international scholars of ecocriticism. It was founded in 1992 at a special session of the Western Literature Association conference in Reno, Nevada for the purpose of "sharing of facts, ideas, and texts concerning the study of literature and the environment." [1]
The association hosts a biennial conference and publishes an official journal—Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment (ISLE)—in which the most current scholarship in the rapidly evolving field of ecocriticism can often be found. ASLE now has branches or related organisations in the UK, Japan, India, Canada and continental Europe. ASLE-UK publishes the journal 'Green Letters'.
The current president of ASLE is Karla Armbruster of Webster University. The next conference will be held June 13-16, 2007, at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
