Venues for AEDEAN conferences have been Granada (1977), Valencia (1978), Santiago de Compostela (1979), Salamanca (1980), Oviedo (1981), Sitges, Barcelona (1982), Madrid (1983), Málaga (1984), Murcia (1985), Zaragoza (1986), León (1987), Alicante (1988), Tarragona (1989), Vitoria-Gasteiz (1990), Logroño (1991), Valladolid (1992), Córdoba (1993), Alcalá de Henares (1994), Vigo (1995), Barcelona (1996), Seville (1997), Lérida-Lleida (1998), León (1999), Ciudad Real (2000), Granada (2001), Santiago de Compostela (2002), Salamanca (2003), Valencia (2004), Jaén (2005), Huelva (2006), A Coruña (2007).

4th AEDEAN Conference, Salamanca

A Coruña was the venue for the 2007 conference. AEDEAN conferences now take place in mid-November and are attended by an average of 250 members. They consist of about 6 plenary lectures by guest speakers, 120 short papers and 10 round tables and workshops. Plenary lectures and short papers are published in the corresponding Proceedings.

29th AEDEAN JAEN

Since 1978 AEDEAN is a member of the European Association for American Studies (EAAS), and in 1989 the association became a founding member of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE).

The interests of AEDEAN members are very wide. They range from theoretical, historical and applied linguistics to all literatures written in English, as well as cultural studies, literary theory, film studies, comparative literature, feminist and gender studies, and so on. These interests are reflected in the structure of AEDEAN conferences and through its publications. Apart from conference Proceedings, the association also publishes Atlantis, a peer-review journal which appears twice a year. A news bulletin (AEDEAN Nexus) is also published twice a year in March and late October with information on professional and academic matters, and with the program of the annual conference.
