听Welcome to the Study of the Americas Initiative
听STUDY OF THE AMERICAS INITIATIVE
With a fully hemispherical focus, the Study of the Americas Initiative听supports interdisciplinary research,听engaging in the comparative analysis of culture, history, society, politics, music, art, media, language and literature of the Americas, and exploring the interconnections between听North, South and Central America听and the Caribbean.
The Study of the Americas Initiative takes full advantage of our amazing strategic location in Florida, at the nexus of South, North and Central America and the Caribbean to bring different spaces of the western hemisphere into conversation by providing fora for discussion for scholars in all disciplines in the humanities.
听OUR CORE OBJECTIVES
The Study of the Americas Initiative听at Florida Atlantic University brings multiple disciplines within the humanities together to research and discuss the history, culture, society, politics, languages, literature, media, music, and arts of the western hemisphere in an effort to foster dialogue and promote understanding and appreciation of the multiple connections, influences and confluences of our common historical and geographical background.听
To accomplish these objectives,听the Study of the Americas Initiative maintains the unique听Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of听America Collection organizes lectures, symposia, workshops and other events that听support our hemispheric, interdisciplinary and comparative approach to the study of the Americas. The initiative,听in coordination with the academic programs in the 国产自拍 Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and听Collection听Letters, awards a Fellowship.
We invite you to explore our website and find out more about our initiative and events.听
