American History Courses Online & In London

The histories of the landmass we now call the Americas are rich, complex, and still being written as new evidence emerges and material is reinterpreted via new questions and perspectives. In other words, the histories of the Americas offer not only different takes on the perhaps familiar histories of North America, but also new perspectives on and from Central America, the broader Caribbean, and South America. 

There is much to explore; from the emergence of diverse North American and Caribbean societies and Central and South American empires built on agriculture and trade as well as the imperial and independent states that emerged in the centuries following the violent encounters with the Europeans to the new conflicts of the World Wars and the Cold War. 

Violence, expansion, resistance, and revolution are central to the histories of the Americas, but far from all that define them. 

Join us to learn about and engage with the various and rich histories of the Americas. We offer a range of courses, short and long, online and face-to-face courses as well as reading groups, exploring different aspects of the histories of the Americas.
