International Association for the Study of Scottish Literatures (IASSL)

About

IASSL s a worldwide academic organisation dedicated to cultivating the study of Scottish languages, literatures and cultures across the globe. In providing a framework for the planning and support of future World Congresses, IASSL helps to ensure that Scottish Literature’s status as a national literature is internationally recognized and promoted as widely as possible. IASSL also provides a hub for raising concerns about international issues related to the study and teaching of Scottish literature, and gives a particular priority to themes: examples include international research projects, promoting the possibilities of exchange or joint MA or PhD programmes in Scottish literature, and providing a web-based forum for those studying Scottish literature outwith a Scottish context.
