Overview

About the program

This American Studies certificate from University of Connecticut provides advanced training in this interdiscipline while helping graduate students to become more capacious in their teaching and research. Working toward this certificate will provide junior scholars a space to think outside of their disciplines and to craft a genuinely multi-modal dissertation project.

Established and dynamic, it brings together faculty and students from a wide variety of disciplines to promote an awareness of the complex cultural, political, and economic structures that have guided the history of the US and the Americas, from the first indigenous civilizations to the present day.

American Studies has increasingly situated the United States in a global context, examining the ways in which the nation has been transformed—and how it has shaped other regions—through the transnational flow of cultures, peoples, and institutional power across its boundaries
