Société des anglicistes de l'enseignement supérieur

The Société des anglicistes de l'enseignement supérieur (SAES) is a French learned society that brings together teachers and researchers in English studies (anglicistes) working in French higher education. According to its official website, it counted 2,597 members as of 6 June 2025, and describes itself as having around 2,600 members. Membership is open to anglicistes who work or have worked in French higher education, preparatory classes and grandes écoles, provided they hold a doctorate or are doctoral candidates. The SAES is a member of ESSE, the European Society for the Study of English. It provides opportunities for those researching and teaching English language, literatures in English and cultures of English-speaking peoples to exchange information, discuss issues of common professional interest and work together. The society is governed by a bureau of ten members elected by the members; mandates are renewable after two years and members may not serve on the bureau for more than six years. It also has honorary presidents and affiliated societies. The SAES publishes the online peer-reviewed journal Angles: French Perspectives on the Anglophone World, which appears bi-annually and aims to encourage innovative interdisciplinary research and make cutting-edge research freely available. It organizes an annual congress; the 66th annual congress is scheduled for 2027 at Université Bordeaux Montaigne. A Collège des doctorant·es was created at the Toulon congress in June 2015 to represent doctoral students, organize doctoral workshops at the annual congress, relay information of interest to doctoral students, and build a community of exchange among them. The college has three elected representatives and maintains a Facebook page, a research notebook and a YouTube playlist. The SAES also offers thesis and HDR grants, in cooperation with AFEA, to support colleagues preparing a thesis or HDR, or in the post-thesis period.
