If you’re a scholar or teacher of Asian American literature, please join our professional network. Email us at caalsinfo@gmail.com to be added to the CAALS Google group (our email list). Event notices, calls for papers/submissions, other opportunities, and occasional discussion questions are circulated there.

You can also follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook group to engage with a diverse community about Asian American literature, culture, and arts. The group includes many writers, students, teachers, and fans of Asian American literature and is a great place to learn about new writers and artists.

We look forward to getting to know you and your work.
