Who We are
The American Culture Center uses the power of academic research and discussion to drive the worldwide study of American Culture.
What We Do
The Scherer Center helps coordinate the University’s rich and diverse scholarly interest in the study of American culture by sponsoring courses, seminars, and lunch-time discussions of new work; by bringing distinguished visitors to campus for lectures, symposia, and conferences; and by developing forums for meaningful interactions among scholars of different disciplines and the public. If you are interested in getting involved with the American Culture Center as a volunteer, partner, guest speaker, faculty affiliate, or in some other capacity, please contact Nolan Kishbaugh at amricanculture@uchicago.edu.
