This course explores the evolution of the American image from its colonial foundation to the contemporary setting of globalized media, infotainment and branding. The course examines the American image from three perspectives. The first is the country's "self-image," or how elites and the public perceive themselves, their government, the world and the role of the United States in it. The second is its "projected image," or how America crafts foreign policy and how, along with media and corporations, it engages in public diplomacy. The last is America's "perceived image," how publics around the world see and feel about the United States and the reasons for pro- and anti-American sentiments. By the end of the course, students will not only have a better sense of how the US sees itself, and how it is seen in the world, but will be equipped for further study in psychological approaches to international relations.

This seminar course familiarizes students with advanced topics related to the interplay between societies and education from a comparative and international perspective.
