Society for slovene studies

The Society for Slovene Studies (SSS) is a scholarly non-profit organization dedicated to fostering closer communication among scholars interested in Slovene studies, promoting the dissemination of scholarly information on Slovene studies through the organization of meetings and conferences, and preparing scholarly works for publication.

Founded in 1973 as a society of academics committed to the promotion of Slovene studies in the United States and Canada, the Society for Slovene Studies is today an internationally recognized association of scholars with members in many countries of the world. Initially based at the Institute on East Central Europe of Columbia University (1973-83), the Society for Slovene Studies moved to the Center for Slavic and East European Studies of The Ohio State University (1983-90), and then to the Russian and East European Institute of Indiana University (1990-91) and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of the same university (1991-95). From 1995-99 the Society for Slovene Studies' center was in the Department of Modern Languages and Comparative Studies, the University of Alberta, from where it moved for two years to Indiana University (1999-2001), six years at Syracuse University (2001-2007), and now Bowling Green State University (2007-). Since 1976 the SSS has been affiliated with the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES, formerly AAASS) and participates in its national and international programs. In 1991the Society also became an associate member of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages (AATSEEL) and takes part in its conferences and activities.
