The Clinton Institute Summer School will bring together scholars and graduate students from around the world to engage in wide-ranging discussion on interdisciplinary study of the United States. The School is aimed at advanced graduate students and junior faculty in the fields of American Studies, History, Political Sciences and Literary and Cultural Studies.

The programme will offer participants the opportunity to work with distinguished figures in these fields and to investigate current developments in study of the United States and its global relations.

In 2009 the faculty will include Sabine Broeck (University of Bremen), Hamilton Carroll (University of Leeds), Jane Desmond (University of Illinois), Thomas Keenan (Bard College), Liam Kennedy (University College Dublin), Scott Lucas (University of Birmingham), Diana Negra (University College Dublin), Sabine Sielke (University of Bonn), Werner Sollors (Harvard University) and Robyn Wiegman (Duke University).

A limited number of bursaries are available.
