About CSUS
Located in the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, at the University of Toronto, the Centre for the Study of the United States (CSUS) was established in 1999 to build and promote the university’s resources in American Studies and U.S.-focused research and teaching. Our vision is to build on our position as the nation’s premier site of interdisciplinary U.S.-focused research, teaching, and public programming. We bridge the social sciences and the humanities in our work, as well as collaborate closely with scholars in law, business, and public policy. We balance a focus on the U.S. as an object of study with transnational, comparative, and international approaches.
With over 60 faculty affiliates, CSUS has a vibrant interdisciplinary undergraduate program in American Studies, with topical courses and an annual undergraduate student journal which provides our students with an opportunity to present some of their high-quality independent research to a broader audience. We also boast many exciting activities, such as our graduate student research colloquium, scholarly research talks by academics from all over the world , and at least one annual symposium.
