The International Studies Program’s unique character and focus is captured in the phrase ‘Culture and Development.’ We integrate theory and praxis, pragmatically drawing from many disciplines to find the best mix of approaches to address rapidly changing and complex global issues.

We emphasize the study of ongoing, transformative social processes around the world an in specific geographical and cultural contexts. We look at power, inequality and identity from many disciplines and using many tools, sharing a common focus on the impact of global change on human communities and societies.
