Welcome to American Studies at FSU Jena!

Our research and teaching agendas examine US-American and Canadian literature and culture as well as questions of Comparative North American Studies, and Transnational American Studies that are, e.g., related to:

  • national myths and imaginaries
  • space/place and identity
  • gender studies
  • popular culture
  • ecocriticism and the Anthropocene
  • transatlantic Romanticism

Next to the American Studies team, we welcome guest professors from the US and Canada and work closely with FSU’s North American History and Political Science/History of Ideas departments in our joint master program North American Studies.
