ABOUT THE NORTH AMERICAN CATALAN SOCIETY

The North American Catalan Society (NACS) is a professional association of scholars, students, and people with a general interest in any aspect of Catalan culture (literature, linguistics, visual and performing arts, history, and philosophy, among other disciplines).

Founded in 1978, during the First Colloquium of Catalan Studies in North America (held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), the NACS is committed to encouraging and advancing the study of Catalan language and culture in the North American academy. It seeks to foster greater visibility for and dissemination of scholarship in the field of Catalan Studies and serves as a central point of reference, as well as a public voice, for a network of scholars in this field. To this end, the NACS holds triennial colloquia (along with occasional smaller symposia) and publishes the Catalan Review: International Journal of Catalan Culture.

This website is intended to be a communication tool about the next NACS triennial colloquia, to be held on May 24 to 26, 2013 and hosted at the University of Toronto, in Canada.
