American Studies at OSU
American Studies at OSU examines the history, culture and society of the United States
from a multidisciplinary, multicultural and transnational perspective. We investigate
the diverse peoples and ideas that have shaped the nation using an eclectic array
of tools — from sociology and political science to history, literature, cultural and
media studies. With strong ties to the interdisciplinary minors in Gender and Women’s
Studies, American Indian Studies and Africana Studies, AMST courses emphasize issues
of identity, social power and social responsibility, with a particular focus on the
importance of race, class, gender and sexuality in American life.
