Teaching American Studies in Britain - Perspectives and Possibilities

Exploring the varied approaches to teaching American Studies in Britain today, the contributors in this volume examine how we can use critical pedagogies to empower our students to disrupt the status quo, challenge boundaries and see the United States—and the world—from new perspectives. Using a range of formats, including essays, case studies and dialogues, it explores what American Studies methodologies mean to both staff and students in UK higher education, and the possibilities that they offer in the classroom and beyond.
