American Studies MA

Course Overview

You will become an increasingly independent writer and researcher, taking more of a lead in your seminar discussions than you may have at the Undergraduate level. Our focus on presentations as a way of sharing and discussing your response to topics will also give you valuable transferable skills. This program is well-suited to those students who prefer diversity to the narrower focus of a single-subject Masters degree. The modules take you on a series of journeys - from a discussion of American Studies itself as an approach, and then from the immediate localities, regions, and borders of the United States, to wider national and international settings. This will offer multi-perspective interpretations of the United States, internally, with its neighbors, and with the rest of the world.
