Welcome to our blog accompanying the workshop “American Studies as Engaged Scholarship: Doing Public Humanities from the Local to the Transnational” to be held at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the German Association for American Studies.

Organized by Regina Schober (University of Mannheim) and Alexander Starre (Freie Universität Berlin), this event brings together a group of transatlantic scholars whose work extends to communities both local and international.
