ASTRA, the Association of Swedish Teachers and Researchers in America, was founded in 2010 during the 99th annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS) with the intention to register the organization as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. ASTRA is a non-profit organization for researchers and teachers involved in Swedish language, linguistics, literature, culture, and area studies. It promotes the study of Swedish, Sweden, and other Swedish speaking contexts at all levels, and works to facilitate cooperation between scholars engaged in these fields.
