We would like to thank the Organizing Team at the University of Pécs (Gabriella Vöő, Mónika Fodor, László B. Sári) for organizing the 11^th Biennial Conference of the Hungarian Association for American Studies. They provided an excellent setting and opportunity for exchanging ideas, listening to thought-provoking presentations and also to enjoy the beautiful city of Pécs.

We are very grateful, thank you very much!

We would also like to thank all those participating and contributing to the success of the conference with their presentations.

We are happy to announce that our next conference will be held in 2018 at Eötvös Lóránd University in Budapest. We are looking forward to meeting you there and at other conferences until then.

For more information on this year’s conference you can still visit the website: http://haashungary.btk.pte.hu/americasconference2016/

The organizers are planning to publish the proceedings of the conference in an edited volume and in a special issue of Focus: Papers in English Literary and Cultural Studies.

Focus, a peer reviewed journal, is published electronically, with the print-on-demand option.
