American Studies
American culture, politics, and economics have had and continue to have an immense impact on nations around the globe. Our daily lives are often shaped more by Hollywood, the Dow Jones, Google, hip hop, and consumer capitalism than by our own national institutions and traditions. The interdisciplinary BA program of American Studies will allow you to study the inner workings of one of the most powerful and influential modern societies.
Web class
This four-week web class will introduce you to four specific themes:
-
The importance of presidential debates in American elections;
-
Escaping slavery in America;
-
Conspiracy theory in U.S. culture;
-
Obama’s historic 2008 presidential campaign.
For every theme, you will read texts and prepare short essays and/or digital assignments. You have to hand in your assignments every week and will receive feedback on them by a web class instructor.
