Description for AMST687:
For over two decades, teachers and graduate students in American Studies, political science, history, and related disciplines have explored in depth a topic drawn from American history, politics, culture or social policy through the American Studies Summer Institute, co-sponsored by the University and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The intensive two-week program, held at the Kennedy Library, includes informative and thought-provoking lectures and discussions led by a distinguished group of scholars and guests.

This year’s program offers a critical examination of the United States’ global role and influence. We will consider America’s interactions with the world in the arenas of foreign policy, political economy, and cultural exchange. We will also explore the historical roots of contemporary challenges and the intersection of domestic and international issues. As in the past, the Institute will draw upon experts from a variety of disciplines and with diverse perspectives.
