New Study Abroad Program in the Netherlands
The American Studies Program has set up a Study Abroad program with Radboud University Nijmegen in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, a 2,000 year-old city located near the border with Germany. The University was established in 1923, boasts an enrollment of 17,000, and offers a wide variety of classes for exchange students, from American Studies to Environmental Science, from Literature to Psychology. For a full list of courses, and more information on the program, visit the Study Abroad page on Radboud University Nijmegen.
Be sure to explore the other opportunities for American Studies students to study abroad, too.
Congratulations to Professors Ruben Flores and Ann Schofield!
Professor Flores received a fellowship from UT-Austin: The Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Texas-Austin has appointed five external research fellows for 2008-09 from an extraordinarily talented and diverse pool of over 230 applicants. The external research fellows are: Nancy Appelbaum, Binghamton University; Ruben Flores, University of Kansas; David Kinkela, Suny-Fredonia; James Sweet, University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Ebru Turan, Fordham University. "We congratulate and welcome them to the IHS and to UT-Austin," said Prof. Julie Hardwick, director of the Institute. Visit the IHS website for more information.
Professor Schofield was awarded a Senior Fellowship at the Rothermere American Institute at Oxford for the 2008-09 academic year. This fellowship will support writing and research on her book manuscript, The Age of Respectability: Gender, Class and Cultural Change in America, 1870-1920 which studies how respectability functions as a surrogate for class in an ostensibly classless society.
