American
Literary and Cultural Studies
American
Literary and Cultural Studies is a popular
and productive area of research and
teaching at the University of Oklahoma.
Faculty and students use a variety of
methodologies to examine canonical and
non-canonical texts and related forms such
as film and popular culture, and in the
process engage practically and
theoretically with issues of gender, race,
ethnicity, and class.
Graduate
students work closely with faculty to
develop their own scholarly and
pedagogical skills and projects. Students
present their work at regional and
national conferences, and seek publication
in major journals. The English Department
and the Graduate College provide
competitive funding sources for conference
travel and dissertation research.
Faculty in the American
concentration offer courses in a broad
range of American literatures and
cultures, with particular emphasis on the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Courses in the modern and contemporary
novel, modern and contemporary poetry,
African-American literature, multi-ethnic
US literature, transatlantic studies and
regionalism are taught regularly. Courses
taught by the English Department’s
renowned Native American Literature
faculty are also available to students
concentrating in American Literary and
Cultural Studies
