AMST 100 - Approaches to the Study of American Society and Culture


Prerequisites: None
Fulfills a course requirement in the American Studies Core Concentration
This course serves as an introduction to the field of American Studies by examining the ways that transnational borders, global interconnectedness, and intersections of identity affect people’s experiences in America. Using a variety of sources, such as popular culture, material culture, and the built environment, and viewing them through diverse lenses, such as race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion, students begin to learn and apply the skills of retrieval, evaluation, analysis and interpretation of written, visual, and aural evidence in the construction of well-argued narratives.
