Anglo American Studies Program/Institute of European Studies

About Us

In 2023, the Anglo-American Studies Program joined the Institute of European Studies and its Center for British Studies.
The underlying purpose of the Program is to widen and deepen campus interest and knowledge of British political, legal, and cultural affairs and their implications for the United States and the broader Commonwealth of Nations.

With a generous endowment of $2.1 million from the Robert Kirk Underhill Trust, the Anglo American Studies program supports faculty and graduate student research, conducts scholarly conferences, and features an annual R. Kirk Underhill lecture at UC Berkeley by a leading figure from political or scholarly circles.
