Click here for full information about American Studies course options.The American Studies programme focuses on American identities in historical and contemporary contexts and offers students an opportunity to study a range of cultural productions including fiction, poetry, film, journalism, drama, television, radio, music and sport.  American Studies is an interdisciplinary academic approach to the
relationships among cultural forms, ideas, practices, social
processes, institutions, technologies and aesthetic forms as
unfolded in the United States past and present. American Studies
offer students and scholars a context for understanding, in the
words of one of the leading scholars in the field Professor George
Lipsitz, ‘the ways in which better knowledge about suppressed
elements of the past might make us better prepared for the future
that we face as we confront the effects of globalization’. The University of Lincoln course provides a critical perspective on American culture from literature, history and cultural studies although students will be encouraged to make wider connections with other interdisciplinary approaches in African American studies, women’s studies, film and media studies, labour history, and popular and material culture studies. |
