Revitalizing American Studies
The center, led by prof. Kirsten Scheid, took an important step to enrich American Studies (AMST) at AUB by increasing departmental offerings. CASAR asked members of its internal advisory committee to meet with departmental chairs and discuss courses that could have a strong AMST component. Committee members met with departmental chairs and discussed if those departments could potentially offer courses that may be cross listed with American Studies courses, further diversifying the offerings within the AMST minor which has been suffering from low enrollment for a while.
