“美国研究”使学生参与过去和现在的美国和美洲文化和政治的跨学科研究。通过对美国传统，机构，地理，艺术和大众文化的探索，该计划使学生接触到各种美国观点和身份。我们专业的核心是调查种族，性别，性别，阶级，宗教和公民身份之间的相互关系，以考察美国的经历。我们在强有力的民族认同主张的背景下分析了当地，土著，边疆和流散社区的形成。美国研究计划的独特之处还在于我们对基于社区的学习和公众人文科学的承诺，通过与当地社区合作伙伴一起参与教学，研究和促进公民积极参与来促进批判性分析。<br> <br>我们的计划鼓励个人的主动
American Studies engages students in the interdisciplinary study of the cultures and politics of the United States and the Americas, past and present. Through its exploration of American traditions, institutions, geography, arts, and mass culture, the program exposes students to a diversity of American perspectives and identities. Central to our major is an investigation of the intersectionalities of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, religion, and citizenship in the examination of American experiences.<br>The American Studies program is also distinct in our commitment to community-based learning and the public humanities, fostering critical analysis by engaging with local community partners in teaching, researching, and promoting active civic participation.
