Harvard’s American Studies PhD nurtures interdisciplinary historians, literary scholars, and cultural theorists who decode the United States’ shifting identities through race, empire, media, and environment lenses. Doctoral cohorts curate exhibits at the Peabody Museum, mine federal archives with text-mining tools, and collaborate with the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute on public-memory projects. Alumni drive discourse in academia, documentary film, and policy circles.
