About the Blog

The HCA Graduate Blog was founded by and for the graduate students of the HCA (Heidelberg Center for American Studies). It focuses on the research in American Studies at the Heidelberg Center for American Studies and wants to establish a platform for scientific newcomers and doctoral students. This is a platform that emphasizes the interdisciplinary research at our faculty, including fields like History, Literary Studies, Religious Studies, Political Science, Cultural Studies, Geography and Linguistics.

This blog offers a glimpse of the work done in the field of American Studies and hopes to ignite discussion and scientific debate among researchers across disciplinary boundaries.

It focuses on the themes of Authority and Trust in American Culture, Society, History, and Politics. Participants in both programs come from the areas of Geography, History, Linguistics, Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, Political Science, Social Sciences, and Religious Studies.
