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.
The contributors’ discussions in this rich collection transcend the already-capacious disciplinary boundaries of American Studies to offer generative insights for all of us engaged in the work of teaching and learning in higher-ed environments. A fascinating and unflinching examination of what it means to deeply engage and thoughtfully teach difficult, complex and sometimes fraught topics – like race, power, gender and identity – this volume offers a great deal to teacher–scholars no matter where their disciplinary homes might be. -- Kevin Gannon, Queens University of Charlotte
