The Puerto Rican Studies Association was founded to help promote scholarship in the field and offer a place for scholars to come together. The Association meets every other year (in even-numbered years) in a different location. We maintain a listserve for members for the dissemination of news of interest.

There currently are several hundred active members of the PRSA. The last meeting was held at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, and drew over 200 attendees for presentations on topics dealing with Puerto Rico and with Puerto Ricans in other places. The next meeting will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico; information can be found using the "2008 Meeting" link at left.

We encourage students, scholars, activists, and others with interests in the island and its people to join and participate in the PRSA.
