About Journal of Transnational American Studies

The Journal of Transnational American Studies (JTAS) is a peer-reviewed online journal that seeks to broaden the interdisciplinary study of American cultures in a transnational context. JTAS is the first academic journal explicitly focused on what Shelley Fisher Fishkin in her 2004 American Studies Association presidential address called the "transnational turn" in American Studies.

JTAS is sponsored by UC Santa Barbara's American Cultures and Global Contexts Center and Stanford University's Program in American Studies, and supported by the CUNY Graduate Center's American Studies Certificate Program.

JTAS is hosted on the eScholarship Repository, which is part of the eScholarship initiative of the California Digital Library.
