The University of Cambridge is one of the most important centres for the study of the United States outside the US.
Dozens of faculty members work mostly or entirely on US topics, or on topics which incorporate US empirical cases and theory, along with dozens more postdoctoral researchers and more than a hundred postgraduate students across multiple faculties and departments.
The Cambridge United States Studies Network (USN) connects Cambridge scholars working on the United States as an empirical and theoretical site across faculties, departments and schools. While we are headquartered in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the network encourages communication and collaboration between any Cambridge researcher focusing largely or in part on US topics. The network’s initial ambition is to encourage better coordination and awareness of existing events and initiatives, and then to facilitate new collaborations on research and public engagement across and beyond the University.
