End of year celebration with the University of Leicester American Studies Society - thank you for the gifts!


This week, we’re joining with BAAS (British Association for American Studies) and colleagues across the UK to highlight and celebrate American Studies! American Studies at Leicester is available in joint honours degrees with History and English Find out more about our degrees👉le.ac.uk/american-studi…


American Studies is… fuzzy at the borders. No walls here! There's lots of opportunity to consider borderlands, immigration, transnational connections, hemispheric relationships, and the nation’s place in the wider world. BAAS (British Association for American Studies)

American Studies is… an opportunity to study in the USA! One of the most attractive aspects of any American Studies degree is the chance to study in the USA for a year. See here for feedback from our students on the year abroad 👉le.ac.uk/american-studi… BAAS (British Association for American Studies)

American Studies is… deeply concerned with contemporary issues. From climate change to global health crises to Black Lives Matter, you will have the opportunity to relate your studies of history, politics and culture to present day problems. BAAS (British Association for American Studies)

American Studies is…. inescapably intertwined with American politics. It’s in our teaching, in our research, and it has been the subject of some of our most recent annual lectures – see below! Look out for a NEW Politics and American Studies joint degree in 2022! BAAS (British Association for American Studies)
