Who
we are

The Pro Wrestling Studies Association (PWSA) is an international network of academics, researchers, and practitioners committed to advancing the study of professional wrestling.

Expanding beyond our signature annual WrestlePosium virtual gathering, we’re excited to introduce new complementary programming, a streamlined journal of curated scholarship, and an enhanced social media presence to provide more diverse and straightforward opportunities for engagement and networking.

Through these efforts, we aim to deepen the conversation around professional wrestling and support the continued growth of the field. Stay tuned!
