DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM: Professor Duggan

The American Studies Program (ASP), which is administered by the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, is one of the country’s leading centers for the study of U.S. culture and society. The ASP’s core and affiliated faculty members, drawn from many FAS and TSOA departments and programs, constitute one of NYU’s strongest faculty groupings. The program interprets “American” in a broad sense to include assessments of the historical role of the United States in the Americas and, more generally, in world affairs. Inasmuch as the program has a regional focus and a distinctive edge among other American Studies Programs, special attention is given to studies in urbanism and to New York in particular, a global city that comprises many world cultures.
