We just ran into www.plexoft.com/SBF/A11.html, linking our page and adding some information on it:

American Studies PEERS. Evidently, ''as'' is meant as a pun; here's the general description from the November 1, 2007, announcement:
as|peers is a new, annual, peer reviewed journal for young American Studies scholars in Europe. It is a platform for the best work done by American Studies graduate students below the PhD-level. It aims to foster academic exchange among young Americanists across Europe, and to thereby advance the field and its genuine European perspective on 'America' and its presences and effects around the world.
as|peers is the only American Studies journal specifically targeting graduate students enrolled in MA Programs in Europe. It is located at the American Studies MA program at the University of Leipzig, Germany. Every issue will contain peer-reviewed, academic work, as well as a section of art, poetry, and other contributions. Its first issue, scheduled to be in print in March 2008, will aim to produce a snapshot of graduate American Studies in Europe.

I'd heard of dancing about architecture, but rhyming about American Studies is a new one on me.

(Yes, the name is uncapitalized and contains a vertical line. Some people hate cataloguers.)

No, of course we do not hate cataloguers. Quite on the contrary. In fact, we like cataloguers so much, we decided to spell our name without the vertical pipe symbol "|" in the future. You will still see it in our logo, but you don't have to write it. It's even gray now.

On a somewhat related note: Rhyming about American Studies is nothing new, but dancing about it?! If that is for you, we'd be glad if you sat down for a bit and danced something up that you'd proceed to submit.
