American Studies Leipzig Blogs 

Blogs are becoming a leading source of information and community dialogue in the United States and worldwide. Leading American newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post now list most popular blogs on their Internet Editions. Blogs are also becoming part of the community life at American Studies Leipzig.

We currently have two blogs chronicling major aspects of the American Studies Model in Leipzig: The Living Classroom, and The Study Abroad Experience.

Members of the 2009 Study Tour "Immigration & Ethnicity" are also writing a blog. The study tour is a joint project of the American Studies Institutes of the University of Leipzig, Germany, and of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland. To check out their blog, please click here. 

Members of the 2006 Study Tour have also written a blog for their Study Tour. Twenty Students and Prof. Keil were in Texas to engage the theme of "Voluntarism, Diversity, and Civic Engagement." To catch the blog, click here. (currently defunc, June '08)

And Caterina Rost did a Study Abroad Experience at the University of Massachussetts Amherst, one of America’s top universities.
