Today as part of @officialbaas #ThisIsAmericanStudies we're highlighting some of the innovative and research-led modules we offer at Hull. No two American Studies programmes are the same!

Musical-Made America explores what musicals can tell us about the societies that produced them, and how musicals can simultaneously reinforce and subvert ideas about race, class, gender, and sexuality. #ThisIsAmericanStudies

What is the cultural impact of the prison industrial complex? Doin’ Time: American Prison Culture explores representations of imprisonment in film, literature, music, and art – such as this moving 2015 painting by Guantanamo Bay prisoner Muhammad Ansi.

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of… New York City in Culture explores the history, people, culture, and environment of America’s most populous city – immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, punks at CBGB, hipsters in Brooklyn and much more!

Why are Americans still divided over the meaning & legacy of the Civil War? Dr Rachael Williams Rachel Williams AmericanStudies Hull has compiled an eclectic mix of films to help explain one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history. American Studies Journal ➡️ bit.ly/3QmFrMm
