Course description

The North American Studies (NAS) program offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the history, culture, art, literature, language, film, philosophy, media theory, politics, society, economics, and law of North America. This includes Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The program's broad scope reflects the intricate political, historical, cultural, and economic connections among these regions. It also aligns with the modern approach of examining North American Studies through a comparative and transnational lens. By studying these subjects, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse and interconnected nature of the North American continent. The NAS program encourages a deep dive into the unique and shared experiences of these nations, fostering a nuanced perspective on their collective and individual identities. This approach not only enriches academic knowledge but also promotes a greater appreciation of the complex dynamics that shape the region.
