A biannual print and online international publication of the American Studies Association of Turkey, the Journal of American Studies of Turkey operates with a double-blind peer review system. It publishes transdisciplinary work (in English) on American literature, history, art, music, film, popular culture, institutions, politics, economics, geography, and related subjects. Contributors need not be members of the American Studies Association of Turkey.

Articles which cross conventional borders between academic disciplines are particularly welcome, as are comparative studies of the United States.

The American Studies Association of Turkey was founded in 1988 to promote American Studies in Turkey and support Turkish and non-Turkish scholars working in the field. It also aims to further research and publication in Turkish-American comparative studies.

The Journal of American Studies of Turkey is indexed in the MLA International Bibliography, TÜBİTAK/ULAKBİM TR Dizin, and the Classificazione ANVUR delle riviste scientifiche (Italy). It also appears in the Ulrich’s International Periodicals Directory and the MLA Directory of Periodicals.

Published in June 2026, the 65th issue of the Journal of American Studies of Turkey opens with a welcoming editorial by Nisa Harika Güzel Köşker, followed by a memorial tribute by Burçin Erol honoring Professor Dr. Emel Doğramacı. The research section presents a diverse range of literary and cultural studies: Ioana Constandache explores eschatology in the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, while Radhia Flah Gaiech examines postmodern spatiality and urban landscapes in Tim Powers's novel Last Call. Shifting to modern digital activism and legal critiques, Atalie Gerhard analyzes the decolonial aesthetics of the O'odham Anti-Border Collective on Facebook, and Panagiota Koutsi investigates trauma, justice, and civic complicity in Richard Edwin Knipe Jr.’s Prisoners. Finally, Gözde Zülal Solak and Özlem Karagöz Gümüşçubuk offer a comparative study of poetry as a form of resistance in the works of Adrienne Rich and Chrystos.
