AMS 3000 - Topics in America Studies

This course looks closely at a region in America, considering ways scholars work across traditional disciplinary boundaries to construct a coherent understanding of what is meant by culture. The region studied will vary but students will take up similar questions about the history and culture, including native and immigrant populations, rural and urban spaces, diversity in its many forms, as well as regional uniformity and sense of identity in juxtaposition to notions of the nation as a whole.
