Message from the Chair
Joyce Antler
Welcome to the Web site of the Department of American Studies. With our commitment to undergraduate teaching and advising, our engagement with interdisciplinary scholarship and our spirit of collegiality and hospitality, this department has been an ornament of Brandeis University and its liberal arts curriculum.
I invite readers of this site to inform themselves about us more fully by noting links to our academic requirements, our affiliated programs, profiles of our faculty and administrative staff and, not least, to a brief history of American studies at Brandeis.
We welcome your input and your comments and look forward to meeting you and working with you in the challenging, shared enterprise of understanding the national experience and values.
