ABOUT US

JASNA Greater Philadelphia is an open, welcoming, and inclusive community of admirers of the work, life, and world of Jane Austen.

JASNA Greater Philadelphia is a regional division of The Jane Austen Society of North America, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization run by a volunteer board. JASNA Greater Philadelphia serves members from Philadelphia and its surrounding counties, Southern New Jersey, and Northern Delaware.

JASNA Greater Philadelphia’s mission is to provide community and learning opportunities for its members and others interested in Jane Austen. We do this work through programming, and generally organize three or four events each calendar year. For more information about our organization, please review our bylaws and our code of conduct.

JASNA Greater Philadelphia is always interested in ideas for Austen-related programming. If you would like to recommend a speaker, location, partnership, or collaboration, please contact us. If you have an Austen event you would like to share with our membership, please let us know. You can always reach out to our Regional Coordinator.
