Title: Information on The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies
Body: From: AAASS The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS) is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, scholarly society which is the leading private organization dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about Russia, Central Eurasia, and Eastern and Central Europe. Study of Russia, the other states of the former Soviet Union, and Eastern and Central Europe has never been more important. This major area of the modern world, which includes almost a quarter of the globe's land surface and population, is undergoing major social, economic, and political upheavals. An understanding of the peoples, their history, languages, and culture, as well as of the transitional economics and politics of their countries, is essential for the formulation of sound international policies. It is also vital for an appreciation of the cultural richness and diversity of the area, and ultimately for a broader view of the human experience. AAASS brings together those interested in the culture, history, and languages of the region's peoples, as well as in its economies and political systems, and gives coherence to a field that covers a multitude of academic disciplines and diverse interests. The Association articulates and addressees the concerns of the field as a whole and of its separate but interdependent sectors. As the major American organization devoted to the advancement of Russian, Central Eurasian, and Central and East European studies, the AAASS works on an ongoing basis to enlist public and private support for research, teaching, publication, and the dissemination of knowledge related to the area. In addition to its work in connection with publications and meetings, the Association constantly monitors developments throughout the field, responding to special needs as they arise. The Association is currently working to encourage continuing support for the study and understanding of this part of the world as it undergoes the transition from communism. It is focusing on expanding public knowledge of the area, its culture, history, and its current economics and politics. The AAASS is working to improve pre-college education in the relevant language and area studies and to protect existing college-level programs; it is also undertaking to strengthen networks linking individuals, organizations, and institutions interested in Russian, Central Eurasian, and Central and East European studies.
