Effron Center for the Study of America, Princeton University The page of the Effron Center for the Study of America at Princeton University.

The Effron Center for the Study of America works to fulfill Princeton’s institutional vision — in the nation’s service and the service of humanity — by offering curricula, supporting research and hosting discussion on the evolving experiences and identities of the peoples of the territories known as America. By exploring and relating issues raised separately by the humanities, arts, and social and natural sciences, and by engaging with a wide range of scholarly methods and theories, we aim to create a generative space for new understandings of — and approaches to — issues that profoundly affect contemporary lives and will profoundly affect future generations. We endeavor to provide spaces for critical analysis guided by principles of civil rights, freedom, social justice and activism; spaces for intellectual discussions that produce transformative agendas based on ethical research. We invite you to join us in studying America in the world and how the world lives in (the) America(s).
