Hemispheric and Transnational Studies examines cultural and historical comparisons across the Americas, investigating how research on the Atlantic world, border regions, and diasporic communities has transformed American Studies, Caribbean Studies, and Latin American Studies, with a focus on imperialism, racial dynamics, and revolutionary movements. A key scholarly objective of Hemispheric Studies involves analyzing how the academic shift toward transnational perspectives establishes fresh research priorities. Learners investigate how studies of the Atlantic, borderlands, and migration patterns have redefined U.S. American Studies, Caribbean Studies, and Latin American scholarship. Concentration requirements vary based on the student's chosen academic department or program.
