Reason 3

American Studies

Our course will encourage you to look at both sides of the story.

America is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world.

Shaped by settlement

It's been shaped by settlement, transatlantic slavery, mass migrations and cultural traditions of multiple ethnic populations.

Differences in ideas, beliefs and traditions have resulted in exciting blends of cultural expression.

Shaped by oppression

However, American cultures have also been shaped by oppression, violence and resistance.
