Welcome to the website of the Belgian Association of Anglicists in Higher Education.
Since its foundation in 1981, BAAHE has brought together anglicists working in the fields of literature and cultural studies, linguistics and translation studies, and ELT.
As stipulated in the statutes, the aims of the association are:
to bring together all teachers of English in Belgian
higher education; to promote teaching and research in the field of English
studies; to publish a journal and/or working documents in that field; to ensure
contacts with foreign associations of anglicists.
In order to promote these aims, BAAHE organizes a yearly
conference and publishes the international, peer-reviewed journal
English Text Construction (ETC), published with John Benjamins.
As well, BAAHE offers an
annual award of 250 EUR to the best Belgian master's thesis alternatingly in the field of English literature and cultural studies and in that of linguistics and translation studies.
Via its website and mailing list, BAAHE regularly informs
its members about items of interest such as
calls for papers and
job offers.
Along with 32 other national associations, BAAHE is a member of
ESSE, the European Society for the Study of English.
BAAHE membership thus includes subscription not only to
ETC but also to ESSE's
European English Messenger.
