The Department of American Studies at Rutgers features a group of distinguished scholars who are dedicated teachers. American studies is the interdisciplinary study of American cultures, and the extensive and wide-ranging publications of department members illustrate the richness of the field. Our diverse faculty research and teach in literature and history; folklore and popular culture; race and ethnic studies; law and politics; and gender and sexuality studies. From native wampum belts to rock 'n' roll, from urban fashion to 9/11 memorials, American studies examines a range of materials to emphasize integrated approaches to the study of American history and culture.

Our faculty is dedicated to helping students learn to write well, to speak articulately, and to think analytically and creatively. These are skills necessary for success in any field. We are a small department, and we give students a great deal of individual attention. We try to maintain a small-college atmosphere within our enormous state university.
