The History and Practices of American Studies will acquaint students with American Studies as an
interdisciplinary field. A close look at the emergence of the field of American Studies in the 1940s and 1950s
will be followed by considering its expansion into new areas and the self-reflexive evaluation of the field.
Reading will consist of journal articles and books; weekly reflection papers will take the place of a concluding
seminar paper. Visiting faculty members will share insights into new work in fields including American Indian
and Indigenous Studies, Southern Studies, Foodways, Visual Culture, Popular Culture, Music, Ethnography, and
other areas. Graduate students from American Studies are required to take this course in their first semester,
and students from other disciplines are especially invited to join in the conversation.
