On 19 April 2011, 5 p.m., American Studies Leipzig will celebrate the release of the fourth issue of aspeers: emerging voices in american studies, Europe’s first and currently only graduate-level peer-reviewed journal in American studies.

The publication project is part of American Studies Leipzig’s MA program. Over the course of the last semester, an editorial team of eight MA students has worked to select contributions, revise them together with the authors, edit them, and make them ready for publication. The result is a 150-page volume to be presented as part of the event.

This fourth issue, publicly available as of Tuesday’s celebration, casts a topical spotlight on "Nature and Technology, Revisited." It contains five academic papers by students and  four creative contributions from around the world, as well as an interview with Professor David E. Nye.

Please join us in the Bibliotheca Albertina Lecture Hall on 19 April 2011, 5 p.m. to celebrate!
