Andrew Hook Centre for American Studies

The Centre promotes American studies by sponsoring seminars, colloquia, conferences, films and theatrical events, and by offering

• MLitt in American Studies, a taught masters degree
• Research degrees in American Studies

In recent years the Centre has featured seminars and public lectures by British and American scholars and such major figures as Toni Morrison and Ken Burns, and the Centre has hosted the annual conferences of the British Association for American Studies, the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, and the Scottish Association for the Study of America, as well as organising 'retreats' for postgraduate students and scholars.
