Association for the Study of Literature and Environment

The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) is the principal professional association for American and international scholars of ecocriticism. It was founded in 1992 at a special session of the Western Literature Association conference in Reno, Nevada for the purpose of "sharing of facts, ideas, and texts concerning the study of literature and the environment." The current president of ASLE is Paul Outka of the University of Kansas. The next conference will be held May 28 - June 1, 2013, at University of North Texas, Denton, TX.

The association hosts a biennial conference and publishes an official journal—Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment (ISLE) —in which the most current scholarship in the rapidly evolving field of ecocriticism can often be found.

ASLE now has branches or related organisations: ASLE-UKI (UK and Ireland); ASLE-Japan; ASLE-India, ASLE-Korea, and ASLE-Taiwan. Other affiliates have altered the acronym to better reflect the scope of ecocriticism. They include ALECC (Canada), EASLCE (Europe) and ASLEC-ANZ (Australia and New Zealand). ASLE-UKI publishes the journal Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism, ALECC publishes the 'Journal of Ecocriticism' (JoE) under the online Open Journal system http://ojs.unbc.ca/index.php/joe; and ASLEC-ANZ publishes 'AJE: Australasian Journal of Ecocriticism and Cultural Ecology', through the online Open Journal system. It is sponsored by National Library of Australia, http://www.nla.gov.au/openpublish/index.php/aslec-anz.
