About Us

APEAA is a scientific non-profit-making organisation, member of ESSE (European Society for the Study of English) and EAAS (European Society for American Studies), devoted to fulfilling the following aims:
  • Promote the convergence and contact of members;
  • Study and publicise questions and problems related to the area of Anglophone Studies in Portugal;
  • Contribute to updating and improving the quality of research in the area of Language, Literature and Culture in English;
  • Establish cooperation programmes with other national and international universities and/or other teaching/cultural institutions;
  • Support and collaborate with national or international individuals or organisations that pursue similar aims;
  • Organize and participate in study meetings, seminars, symposia, or specialisation courses and publicise other actitivies related to the area of Anglophone Studies.
Besides these goals, which the Constitution (Estatutos) of our association stipulate, we hope to contribute to the following:
  • Promote the interdisciplinarity of English Studies in a period of major geo-political and disciplinary change;
  • Affirm the Anglophone paradigm as the theoretical and critical “locus” that inspires the association;
  • Confirm, despite this, the interlinguistic and intercultural study of Anglophone language, literature and culture in an era of globalisation, as well as the multiple contexts in which this takes place.
The Portuguese Association for Anglo-American Studies (APEAA) was created in 1979 and has enjoyed a steady activity, with annual meetings and a regular circulation of information among its members, ever since. Besides, the APEAA journal, Op. Cit., our journal, welcomes contributions in all domains of Anglophone Studies.

The Portuguese Association for Anglo-American Studies (APEAA) is governed by a formal Constitution (Estatutos), which outlines its mission, objectives, membership regulations, and organisational structure. This foundational document reflects our commitment to academic excellence, democratic participation, and the promotion of English-speaking cultures in Portugal and beyond.

Approved and revised in accordance with our General Assembly, the Estatutos define:
