About the 乱伦秀 Institute of the Americas
"All the staff here at the Institute are committed and have chosen to work in a department that is committed to area studies. This means that whether we are听historians or political scientists, or anthropologists, or we work in international relations or in human rights, we're all fundamentally interested in the Americas as a region."
A short introduction to the 乱伦秀 Institute of the Americas听from the Head of Department, Dr Nick Witham.
The 乱伦秀 Institute of the Americas was established in July 2012, as part of the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences. We are a leading multidisciplinary specialist institution for the study of Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean and Canada, and act as a focal point in the UK for students and researchers seeking to develop in-depth regional and continental knowledge of the Americas.
We offer the largest teaching portfolio on the Americas in the UK, specialising in social sciences and modern history. The Institute offers听six taught postgraduate degrees, specialist supervision to听doctoral level, and new undergraduate degree programmes听which include听the exciting opportunity to study abroad.听
As a student at the 乱伦秀 Institute of the Americas, you will be taught by world-leading scholars at the cutting edge of research in the humanities and social sciences. We provide and encourage comparative and interdisciplinary debate on the Americas that will enable you to gain a broad knowledge and understanding of the most recent scholarship on the region.
The Institute also runs a series听of free events to support our teaching and research.听We work with colleagues at 乱伦秀 and globally to promote cutting-edge research, teaching and public policy debate on the Americas.
