The American Studies faculty has years of experience in teaching and research in American culture.  Trained at Brown, Harvard, Georgetown, and the College of William and Mary, they are at Stetson because they love to teach. Like the field of American Studies, their individual interests are varied, ranging from American history and politics to woman's studies, religious studies, Africana  studies, popular culture, journalism, literature, history of science, and environmental studies.  They are united by their desire to help their students achieve a broad understanding of American life.  In addition to the daily interactions with students in the classroom, the faculty also works with students on special projects.  See our Faculty/Student Collaborations.
