Welcome to the official home of the Transatlantic Studies Association

The TSA was created in 2002 to bring together scholars for whom the ‘transatlantic’ is an important frame of reference for their work in a variety of disciplines, including (but not limited to): history, politics and international relations, and literary studies. Since its establishment the Association has become a significant multi-disciplinary network, and its annual conference attracts a broad cross-section of scholars from across North America, Latin America, and Europe.
