Is there a specific theme (race, globalization, gender, postmodernism, etc.) to AS?
The main theme that drives the Department is race. We see racial difference and racial inequality as foundational aspects of American national identity. We hope that our curriculum allows you to explore and analyze the inter-relationships between racialized notions of U.S. nationhood, citizenship, and community in a global context. In stressing the continuing significance of race, we take our cues from explorations of race in African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano/Latino Studies, Native American Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, Queer Studies, critical race theory, and transnationalism and diaspora studies.
