More about SINAS

The Swedish Institute for North American Studies (SINAS) conducts research, offers bachelor's and master's courses and broadly promotes the study of North America.

A central research focus at SINAS is to explore the global relevance of U.S. culture and society. We investigate the significance of U.S. culture from a range of different perspectives, including the history of migration, American influences on the world, film history, and popular culture.

SINAS regularly arranges seminars, conferences, and symposia within the field of American studies. We also serve as a resource for the larger community of scholars at Uppsala University interested in North America, and cooperate with scholars in the educational sciences, humanities, law, social sciences, and theology.

Courses offered by SINAS can be found here. For more information, feel free to contact the Department of English study counsellor.
