INTS SPECIAL TOPICS COURSES

INTS 390 section 001: Comparative Development

Professor Jonathan Weiler

Counts toward the Global Economics, Trade and Development theme

This course is an APPLES service learning course, whose goal is to integrate real-world experience working with development-oriented organizations, theoretical discussions about the origins and evolution of development thinking, and exposure to the challenges facing practitioners of development, in some of its many substantive and geographical contexts.

INTS 390 section 002: Latin American Immigrant Perspectives

Professor Hannah Gill

Counts toward the Transnational Cultures theme

This interdisciplinary course combines anthropological fieldwork, migration theory, and service-learning in an examination of Latin American immigrant perspectives.  During spring break, students will work with migrant families on various community projects as well as attend cultural events and visit diverse migrant communities in

INTS 490 section 002: Diversity and Conformity in Muslim Societies

Professors Banu Gokariksel and Sarah Shields

Counts toward the Transnational Cultures theme

The fall semester of 2009 will focus on two themes, “Nationalists and Salafis,” which explores the kinds of orthodoxies that have emerged during the course of anti-imperialism and decolonization in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.  And the second, “Hermaphrodites, Minorities, and Constitutions,” which will interrogate the ways that governments and popular movements have marginalized or incorporated people who are on the gender/ethnic/religious edges, and how the latter have mobilized against marginalization.
