The Department of Social & Cultural Analysis The Department of Social and Cultural Analysis (SCA) is trans disciplinary in nature. in American Studies.

It combines topics and methods drawn from the humanities and social science to analyze the relationships among individuals, groups, institutions,governments, economies, and environments. Our courses draw on theoretical insights from social geography, feminism and queer studies, ethnic studies, critical race theory, labor studies and cultural studies. Our programs of study value both historical inq

uiry and engagement with the present, especially large-scale developments like urbanization, commodification, movement of peoples, transnational exchange, identity formations, ethnic and diasporic cultures. SCA houses and integrates the activities of six programs—Africana Studies, American Studies, Asian/Pacific/American Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Latino Studies, and Metropolitan Studies. NYU students can major in any one of these (except American Studies), or combine any two of them in the SCA general major. Minors are offered in all areas, including American Studies. At the graduate level the department offers M.A.s in American Studies and Africana Studies, and a Ph.D.
