ASEEES 57th Annual Convention
2025 Convention
One of the core activities of the Association is the annual convention. Held in the fall in a different city in North America, this international forum makes possible a broad exchange of information and ideas, stimulating further work and sustaining the intellectual vitality of the field.

Memory
2025 ASEEES President: Adrienne Edgar, UC Santa Barbara
Memory is both personal and collective, and shared ways of remembering help to define human communities. In Eastern Europe and Eurasia, individual and “unofficial” memories have often been seen as more trustworthy than the history recounted in official sources. Yet individual memory is inevitably affected and shaped by public memory, which some states and political elites try to manipulate for their own gain. Authoritarian rulers, whatever their ideological stripe, seek to control historical memory in order to bolster and justify their rule.
ASEEES is closely monitoring the uncertainties surrounding travel in and out of the United States in 2025. For the 2025 Annual Convention, session organizers may elect to convert their entire session to the Virtual Convention (October 23-24).
If you have already decided that you would like to move your session to the Virtual Convention (October 23-24), please use the Session Change Request Form to notify us by Friday, August 15.
As A/V costs are prohibitively expensive, ASEEES does not allow hybrid sessions (i.e. some participants “Zooming in”) at the in-person convention. And we cannot allow one exception and not another.
