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.
