PhD in American Studies

4 Years On Campus Phd Program

University of North Carolina Chapel Hill

Program Overview

The Ph.D. program in American Studies prepares and encourages students to explore the complex, variable, and contested nature of what it means to be American. We recognize that this requires examining many kinds of evidence derived from multiple sources and genres (archival materials, oral history, literature, popular culture, music, art, food, bodily movement and adornment, landscape, architecture, belief), accessed via multiple methodologies (historical, literary, ethnographic, and digital humanities) and analyzed via theoretical perspectives that attend to aesthetics and politics; race, gender, and sexuality; region and transnational connection.
