Subject Headings

American and Global Studies covers so many topics that it is impossible to create a list that covers even a fraction of the subject headings available. Subject headings related to countries or regions can be combined with the general topic you are studying. For instance, if you are taking ARTH 320 (Modern Art and Architecture Survey) you could use the subject heading "Art, Japanese 20th century"

Below are a few sample subject headings that are appropriate for global studies:

  • Antislavery movements
  • Slavery
  • Slavery -- Fiction

  • Human Trafficking
