history, literature, politics, film and culture of the United States literature, culture and society of Canada Some of the core issues you will look at include: to what extent will the US be forced to renegotiate political, financial and cultural relationships long characterised by dominance?

how do we make sense of the Trump era? how should the Obama Presidency be understood within the history of race relations and the struggle for civil rights? how will cultural responses to changing political, media, and built environments work within and against established forms and traditions? You will be involved in intellectual exchange among a group with shared interests, but with a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.
