The International Theodore Dreiser Society was formed by Miriam S. Gogol (Mercy College) and Frederic E. Rusch (Indiana State University) at the second annual American Literature Association Conference in Washington, D.C., on 25 May 1991. A growing organization of scholars, teachers, and Dreiser enthusiasts, the Society promotes interest in the life and works of Theodore Dreiser (August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945). His best known works are Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925).  Annual membership in the society includes two issues of the society's journal: Studies in American Naturalism (SAN). ​
