American studies in the United Kingdom
American studies as an academic discipline is taught at some British universities and incorporated in several school subjects, such as history, politics and literature.〔 and H: "American Studies in Britain," American Quarterly (Summer,1966): 251–269. American history, for example, is listed as a component and cited in several examples, of Key Stage 3 History: http://www.nc.uk.net/nc_resources/html/download/cHi.pdf〕 While the United States of America is the focus of most study, American Studies can also include the study of all the Americas, including South America and Canada. The methods of study are interdisciplinary, and students and researchers come from many fields, including anthropology, cultural studies, history, literature, film studies, gender studies and economics. Because of Britain's long association with the Americas, there is also a history of comment and analysis of the geography, culture and peoples of America, from Sir Walter Raleigh and Charles Dickens to Rudyard Kipling and Alistair Cooke.
American Studies in Britain is closely related to the discipline in America, and many degree programmes also involve a period of study in the U.S. or Canada, ranging in time from a month to an academic year. However, an 'outsider's' view of a foreign culture, a variety of intellectual trends, such as the Birmingham school of cultural studies, and institutional arrangements often lead to a different approach to that pursued in the U.S.〔Giles, P, "Virtual Americas: The Internationalization of American Studies and the Ideology of Exchange," ''American Quarterly'' 50:3 (1998): 523–547〕 The support of the U.S. Embassy and other official U.S. bodies and awards also shows that American Studies has also been used to promote closer ties and greater understanding between the two countries.〔Lawson-Peebles, R, "Dean Acheson and the Potato Head Blues, or British Academic Attitudes to America and its Literature,", Gutman, H.

== History of American Studies in Britain ==
Because of Britain's involvement in North America, American Studies has a long history as an activity in British Higher Education. This history has given American Studies in Britain a different flavour to that pursued in the U.S. The earliest accounts of the British colonisation and exploration of North America may be considered as the first contributions to this field, which now incorporates the output of the work of many university departments, scholarly journals and independent scholars. Many libraries, museums and archives in the United Kingdom also support such work.〔http://www.asrp.info/ accessed 2006-12-06〕
