Welcome to the Society for Animation Studies!

The Society for Animation Studies (SAS) is an international organization dedicated to the study of animation history and theory. It was founded by Dr. Harvey Deneroff in 1987. Each year, the SAS holds an annual conference at locations throughout the world, where members present their recent research. For more information, contact SAS Co-Presidents Dr. Cristina Formenti and Dr. Mihaela Mihailova at president@animationstudies.org.

The 2024 Annual Conference will be hosted by the University of New South Wales, Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture in Sydney (Australia) from July 1st to July 4th, 2024. For more information about the Annual Conference, visit the conference website here.

The SAS also publishes two peer reviewed publications: Animation Studies, the society’s own Open Access  journal, and the Open Access blog Animation Studies 2.0. The most recent articles from these two publications, alongside the SAS’s Twitter feed, are featured below.
