Working closely with the Digital Communications Manager, you will be responsible for building online engagement with the American Studies community, students, young people, schools, and teachers, and the wider UK public.

In advance of the 2023 AGM (which will be held at Keele University on Thursday April 13th 2023), elections will be held for a number of posts within BAAS. Current incumbents of these positions may stand for re-election if not disbarred by the Constitution’s limits on length of continuous service in Committee posts, nor by clauses relating to particular roles.
