North American Studies
This research group is focused on establishing a local, national, and international network of educators, scholars, and NTNU students with research interests in North American studies. This diverse research area allows for truly inter/transdisciplinary topics covering an array of subjects such as native peoples, history, feminism, sexuality, legal studies, race, culture, art, literature, politics, education, linguistics and language acquisition, and much more. Our aim is to establish a platform for sharing research and establishing communications with scholars on an international level. We plan to take part in conferences, establish workshops and seminars, and develop and disseminate research within the research group.
