The Department of American and Canadian Studies specializes in Hemispheric, Transatlantic and Transpacific research on the Americas, approaching the cultures of the dual continent as inextricably connected "communicating vessels." A thus defined research profile allows us to diagnose the dynamics of the interdependence between phenomena and processes taking occurring "within" the Americas, but also "across the oceans": between Europe and Africa and the Americas - as well as between the Americas and Asia and Oceania. The research areas upon which the members of the Department focus are specified in the Department's Research Profile website.
