About ASEN

The Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN) is an interdisciplinary student-led research association founded by research students and academics in 1990 at the London School of Economics & Political Science.

Goals and Objectives

ASEN seeks to fulfil two broad objectives:

1. To facilitate and maintain an interdisciplinary, global network of researchers, academics and other scholars interested in ethnicity and nationalism; and
2. To stimulate, produce, and diffuse world-class research on ethnicity and nationalism.

These objectives are achieved via:

• A global membership;
• ASEN's two leading journals Nations and Nationalism and Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN)
• Regular conferences, lectures, seminars, and publications; and,
• The Ruritanian , ASEN's newsletter, which provides updates on key information in the field
