Doctor's degree American and New England Studies - Boston University

Doctor's degree American and New England Studies from Boston University is a Campus Ph.D Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Boston University Doctor's degree American and New England Studies : As the director of the American and New England Studies Program (AMNESP), I would like to take this opportunity to describe just a few of the unique advantages our program has to offer. Established in 1970, from its inception AMNESP has been genuinely and fundamentally interdisciplinary, dedicated to the study of American society in all its aspects: arts, culture, history, institutions, literature, religion, and diverse intellectual traditions. Our talented faculty represents the widest possible variety of disciplines. My own field is the history and sociology of American immigration, race and ethnicity. I am joined by other colleagues in American History whose work integrates the study of history within a broader investigation of American society--Nina Silber, Bruce Schulman, Lou Ferleger, Jon Roberts, Julian Zelizer, Charles Capper and Brendan McConville. Our roster of faculty also includes a number of distinguished colleagues in American literature. Anita Patterson, Jack Matthews, Susan Mizruchi, Laura Korobkin, Christopher Lukasik, Bonnie Costello and Lee Monk study how literary texts work both to reflect and shape cultural life in America. Furthermore, we maintain a particularly strong commitment to the study of Art History, and to this end we offer a comprehensive curriculum that covers courses in material culture, architecture, and historic landscapes as well as in American painting and photography. Our outstanding faculty from Art History who teach in these areas and have been centrally involved in the program include Patricia Hills, Keith Morgan, and Kim Sichel. In addition, Jessica Sewell who holds a dual position, half-time in American Studies and half in Art History, has particular expertise in material culture studies while Claire Dempsey, our Director ad interim of Preservation Studies , also offers courses in these fields.
