10 American Songs: A Choose Your Own Adventure Listening and Chat Party, March 24, 7 p.m.

To celebrate its addition of a BLA concentration, the American Studies program is hosting a Zoom listening party, where attendees will get to choose between songs, setting them off on a journey through modern American music.

Participants on Zoom will choose between two songs, and we'll listen to it and comment about it in the chat. Then another pair or group of songs will pop up as a choice, and we'll keep going until we get to 10. Register online for the Zoom link.

This choose your own adventure format is to celebrate American Studies as a program where students can choose their own path by focusing on what they are interested in, whether it is American or popular culture generally or subjects like sports or Lowell specifically. American Studies has been a major and minor for more than 40 years, and its appeal is driven from students’ ability to choose their own path and follow their interests as students. Its new BLA concentration will offer students the same flexibility in choosing their path.

This event is open to everybody. Anyone who is interested in American Studies as a major, minor, or BLA concentration, please contact Jonathan_Silverman@uml.edu. More information is available on the American Studies website.
