Conferences
Each spring, the Association organises one of the largest annual conferences in the interdisciplinary field of nationalism studies, hosted at the London School of Economics. Its 2008 conference, titled Nationalism, East and West: Civic and Ethnic Conceptions of Nationhood, was held in April and was the largest to date. The title of this year's conference is Nationalism and Globalisation. Past conference titles include: The Dark Face of Nationalism: Violence, Extremism and the Nation (2007); Nations and their Pasts: Representing the Past, Building the Future (2006); and Nation and Empire (2005).
Lectures, seminars and debates
The Association organises and hosts a range of different events at the London School of Economics including lectures, seminars and debates that feature prominent scholars. The Ernest Gellner Nationalism Lecture and the Nations and Nationalism Debate are annual, and a number of smaller seminars are held more frequently throughout the year.
Essay prize
The Dominique Jacquin-Berdal ASEN Prize, established to honour the memory of a late ASEN member and editor of Nations and Nationalism, is awarded annually to the author of a submitted paper "to encourage young scholars to publish original research in ethnicity and nationalism." The prize includes £250 and 2 years' free membership in the ASEN, and may lead to publication of the article in Nations and Nationalism.
Mailing list
The Association also maintains a mailing list, called Nationalism Research, which "provides members information on conferences, including calls for papers; new publications in the field; scholarships for students and researchers; jobs in academia; and events organised by the Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism at the London School of Economics and Political Science."
