Introduction to American Studies

This course is an introduction to interdisciplinary considerations of American culture.

These themes will be examined through a variety of media, such as literature, historical writing, music, art, film, architecture, etc. The course will also give attention to the many methods through which scholars have, over time, developed the discipline of American Studies.
