This book considers how interdisciplinary conversation, critique, and collaboration enrich and transform humanities and social science education for those teaching and studying traditional Americanist fields. The transition from a national to a hemispheric American Studies cirriculum and program is both exciting and daunting. On the one hand, it promises to reinvigorate existing fields. On the other, it poses a serious challenge to received models of intellectual training, research, evaluation, and curricular development.
