This graduate-level course offers an introduction to the discipline of American Studies through a close reading of four texts, several films, and critical articles and chapters representing different approaches within the discipline. We will focus on  the issues of identity, race, and shared spaces in North America. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with dynamic approaches to interpreting American history, literature, and art through active seminar discussions, film viewings, fieldtrips to commemorative sites, and four distinct written assignments.

In this course you will learn how to be consumers of information so as to make informed decisions and to assess the decisions made by others.  This course emphasizes the basic understanding of how data are organized, summarized and described (descriptive statistics) and how this information is used for managerial decision making. The course will also provide the basic framework for conducting statistical hypothesis testing (inferential statistics), carry out such tests in the context of single and multiple populations (including z- and t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis), and show the importance of such tests in decision making. The goal of this course is to broaden the range of your intuition and to enable you to think.
