- Description/content
- The interdisciplinary MA InterAmerican Studies / Estudios InterAmericanos focuses on social, cultural, historical, and political developments in the Americas both in their specifically national characteristics and in regard to processes of transnational integration. The programme is characterised by a broad interdisciplinary approach to Hemispheric area studies and includes the disciplines of literary, cultural, and media studies, linguistics, sociology, political science, and transnational history. The larger context of current research questions of transnationality, of interculturality, of globalisation, and of the world society is of central interest.
