    The Society for Armenian Studies
    40th Anniversary Workshop in Yerevan


    The Society for Armenian Studies (SAS), founded in 1974, will organize
    a workshop to mark the 40th anniversary of its founding. The workshop,
    to take place October 2-5, 2014, with the participation of the
    Armenian National Academy of Sciences, will bring together twenty
    scholars from abroad and twenty from Armenia to deliver papers on a
    number of topics such as inadequately studied aspects of Armenian
    history in the past millennium; the representation and reflection of
    the Armenian Genocide in the arts and culture in general; testimonies
    and reminiscences of the survivors of the Genocide; accomplishments,
    perspectives and methodologies in contemporary Armenian literary
    studies and historiography; and, the Armenian Diaspora in the 21st
    century, aspirations and challenges. The workshop will take place at
    the Presidium Hall of Sessions at the Armenian National Academy of
    Sciences.

    The Society for Armenian Studies was founded by a group of scholars:
    Nina Garsoian, Dickran Kouymjian, Avedis Sanjian and Robert
    W. Thomson, on the initiative of Richard G. Hovannisian, with a view
    to promoting and supporting Armenian studies as an academic discipline
    through panels at national and international gatherings, publications,
    lectures and symposia. It publishes a Newsletter and the Journal of
    the Society for Armenian Studies (JSAS). Most members are from the
    United States, but an increasing number of scholars from Europe,
    Canada and the Middle East have joined the SAS.

    Those with a general interest in Armenian studies may also join the
    SAS (as non-voting members) and receive free copies of the Newsletter
    and the JSAS. For more information on, or to join, the SAS, please
