H-Net: Humanities On-Line announces a new network:
H-USA
for the international study of the United States.
H-USA is an Internet forum for the international study of
the United States. H-USA is designed to serve teachers,
scholars, journalists and advanced students worldwide--and
especially in Japan. H-USA is cosponsored by H-NET and the
Kansai Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies at Osaka University
of Foreign Studies. It is funded by the Center for Global
Partnership program of the Japan Foundation (Tokyo).
The primary purpose for H-USA is to enable teachers
interested in American Studies and American history to
obtain accurate information from scholars, and to
discuss the meaning of current and historical events. We
will facilitate "pen pal" arrangements between classes in
the USA and other countries.
H-USA will be entirely non-partisan and non-polemical. It
will be friendly and informal--the editors will help people for
whom English is not their first language. H-USA will feature
questions and answers about the United States. In 1996 it will
feature discussions on the Presidential election. H-USA will
discuss new articles, books, papers, approaches, methods and
tools of analysis; it will disseminate bibliographies, discuss
new ideas and share syllabi and tips on teaching. It will
commission original reviews of new books, movies, television
programs, videos, museum exhibits, textbooks, CD-ROMS, computer
software, and other teaching materials. H-USA is edited by a
team of eight scholars in Japan, the USA and Europe, and has an
international editorial board. Many items will be crossposted
from other H-NET lists which deal with advanced topics in
American culture.
H-USA will try to stimulate high level academic dialogues.
Subscribers will write in with questions, comments, and
reports. We are especially interested in reaching college
and high school faculty who teach courses on American
history, American Studies, American literature or the
English language. H-USA will therefore actively solicit
syllabi, reading lists, termpaper guides, ideas on videos,
slides and software, and tips and comments that will be of
use to the teacher who wants to add a single lecture, or an
entire course.
