Abstract:	Introduction to the Serialized Forum Teaching American Studies in Europe: Challenges and New Directions for the 21st-Century. The Forum, edited by Virginia Pignagnoli and Lorenzo Costaguta on behalf of the AISNA Graduate Forum, discusses a topic of special interest for early-career researchers, who start teaching at a time fraught with epochal changes both in academia and in the American political and social world. The Forum sought to answer the following questions: have Americanists across Europe succeeded in teaching the complexity of American Studies? What are the main challenges they encounter? What are the theoretical frameworks that are best suited to teach the multiple histories and the multiple contradictions of American culture? How have the field and the various sub-disciplines composing it evolved in the past ten years? What kind of new directions can we envision for the future as far as teaching pedagogies are concerned?.
