Program in American Studies
American studies offers the promise of a sustained education in what it is to live in this twenty-first century American world. Knowledge about this world, this country, about how diverse and varied peoples make their lives in it and call it America, depends on open conversations that are alternately serious, playful, fun, and painful.
