Clearly, there are lots of exciting aspects to all things American…
But don’t take our word for it – check out what various #AmericanStudies programmes around the U.K. are covering on their courses by checking out the hashtags #AmericanStudiesIs and/or #ThisIsAmericanStudies
#AmericanStudiesIs …
Various subjects are addressed in #American Studies, including: #cultural themes/productions; histories of American #communities; #politicalideologies; #socialmovements; #literature; #film; #TV; #music; #tourism, #folklore, #intellectualhistory and more.
#AmericanStudiesIs primarily an #interdisciplinary field of study addressing the #history, #society, #politics, and #culture of the United States. (It also explores the US presence around the world, and the influence of the world on the US.)
With #alevelresults coming up, we here at @OfficialBAAS wanted to promote and celebrate the exciting opportunities available to students who are considering undertaking #AmericanStudies.
First, though: #WhatIsAmericanStudies?
Calling all U.K.-based #AmericanStudies academics/postgrads – feel free to chip and let potential #students know what you #research and #teach as part of #AmericanStudiesNow / tell us about the #contemporary issues addressed in #AmericanStudiesToday
