American Men's Studies Association
The American Men's Studies Association (AMSA), founded in 1991.[1][2], is an academic association in the field of men's studies. AMSA grew out of the Men's Studies Task Group which was a branch of the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS) in the 1980s [3]. The Men's Studies Task Group was founded in 1984 to facilitate the involvement of men's studies scholars in NOMAS conferences [4]. In 1991 attendees at the NOMAS conference in Tuscon, Arizona who were members of the Men's Studies Task Group voted to incorporate the American Men's Studies Association as a separate organization [4]. The founding mission statement of AMSA affirmed anti-sexist/heterosexist/racist values [4].
AMSA holds annual conferences and held its 26th annual conference at the University of Minnesota in March 2018 [1]. At these conferences, AMSA has historically partnered with Division 51 of the American Psychological Association. Division 51 is the Society for the Pyschological Study of Men and Masculinities [5]. The 2015 AMSA conference in New York City was held in partnership with Michael Kimmel's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities and drew nearly 700 participants [2].
The current President of AMSA is Cliff Leek[3], an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Northern Colorado [6]. Recent past presidents have included Robert Heasley[7], professor of sociology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania [8], and Daphne Watkins [9], associate professor of social work at the University of Michigan[10]
