Solidarity Forever: An Introduction to American Studies
AMST 170
Spring 2025
Section: 01  

This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. We will explore how American Studies scholarship engages "solidarity" as a subject of study and as a practice. We will consider how conversations in the field relate to resistance and activist movements across time and space, from the US/Indian Country to the transnational and the global. By covering vast topics and themes such as settler colonialism, carceral politics, labor organizing, the war on terror, and more, we will examine the questions, methods, and frameworks that animate and shape American Studies. We will reflect on the role of knowledge production in movements and struggles for justice.
