As part and parcel to American Culture Studies’ continued efforts to bring the vibrancy of our community to the web, the Media Archive will include a growing body of audio and visual material. Culled from interviews with visiting scholars, recordings of AMCS events hosted throughout the semester, and features from program initiatives, the Media Archive rounds out amcs.wustl’s digital presence. Our aim is to offer site visitors a way to hear and see community inquire about and debate issues critical to American Life.

How do we celebrate, mourn, and make sense of the singular lives and deaths of artists and adequately appreciate their social and cultural relevance? Our first Dinner Forum of the new academic year will explore the phenomenon of the passing of public figures such as Prince, Michael Jackson, David Bowie and others. Dinner served at 6:30pm; Forum discussion begins at 7:00pm.
RSVPs are due to tbehr@wustl.edu by Friday, September 23rd.
The Americanist Dinner Fora are the flagship intellectual event for the AMCS community. Each month features a new set of speakers exploring a topic relevant to American Studies through the medium of a selected reading. The reading will be circulated the week prior. AMCS graduate students are expected to attend each of the fora, and AMCS Faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.
