Interdisciplinary program
Where is home? Need it be in one place? Is it always attached to territory?
Diaspora and transnational studies examines the
historical and contemporary movements of peoples and the complex problems
of identity and experience to which these
movements give rise as well as the creative possibilities that flow from
movement. The program is comparative and
interdisciplinary, drawing from the social sciences, history and the arts.
Students are required to take two linked half-courses
that offer an introduction to a broad array of themes and disciplinary
methodologies. The program offers a wide selection of
additional courses, giving students the opportunity to learn about a range
of diasporic communities as well as key debates in
the field.
