Since its founding in 1996, the American Portuguese Studies Association (APSA) has established
itself as an important presence within the community of Portuguese scholars and educators in
the United States and beyond. It has continued to grow dynamically and it currently counts well
over one hundred members in several countries on three continents.
The association strives to foster the expansion and spreading of knowledge about the
languages, peoples and cultures of Portuguese-speaking countries. APSA’s specific goals are to
promote scholarly research on the Portuguese-speaking world; to disseminate the results of its
members’ research through its official journal, ellipsis; to further contact among persons of
diverse fields; to increase awareness of the Portuguese-speaking world among academic
programs and communities; and to promote the development of Portuguese language
programs in North America.
