The hub for france-american exchange

La version en français sera publiée prochainement: Created in 1978, the CRESAB is a group of English teachers composed of university lecturers and professors, both active and retired, and post-graduate students, most of whom live in the Nancy-Metz area. The CRESAB is associated with the other research teams - literature, cultural studies, linguistics - of the English Department of the University of Nancy 2 (France) within a confederation called Interdisciplinarité dans les Etudes anglophones (IDEA, ex-Centre d'études anglophones). Originally, in addition to their individual fields of research, the team collectively pursued applied research into the pedagogy of British and American Studies, as well as the teaching of the cultures of other English-speaking countries. In keeping with the interdisciplinary goals of IDEA, the team now addresses the question of nationalism and national identity in the English-speaking world and organizes, among other things, seminars and conferences on the subject. The CRESAB began publishing its review Living Archives in March 1991.
