AMS :: ATX is a blog by the American Studies department at UT Austin. Edited by graduate students, our blog aims to be a place for intellectual curiosity, growth, and discussion without the traditional academic pressures. Here you will find interviews with students, alumni, and staff as well as thoughtful posts on all that is American Studies (which is, kind of, everything). If you want to write for us (or submit something cool you did for us to write about) see the submission page.
