^ International Comparative Studies (ICS)

Associate Professor Hasso, Director; Lecturer Kirk, Director of Undergraduate Studies; Senior Lecturing Fellow Ross, Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies. Affiliated Faculty: Professors Baker (cultural anthropology, sociology, and African and African-American studies), Ramaswamy (history), and Wiegman (literature and women’s studies); Associate Professor Ching (Asian and Middle East studies); Associate Professor of the Practice Broverman (biology); Assistant Professor Göknar (Turkish studies).

A major, but not a minor, is available in this program.

The International Comparative Studies Program offers a Bachelor of Arts degree to students interested in an interdisciplinary individualized major focused on critical transnational studies. The ICS Program mission is to prepare lifelong learners who can live, work, and thoughtfully engage with people and problems in a complex, diverse, and interconnected world. ICS majors gain knowledge in the culture(s), history, politics, and language of one geographic region of the world through Region and Foreign Language coursework. This knowledge based on the multidimensional study of a particular part of the world is complemented by an examination of transnational dynamics through Core and Comparative coursework. Well over 75 percent of ICS majors complete some of their coursework in study abroad programs. Core courses, individualized advising, and research mentoring encourage ICS students to formulate and address questions through a variety of disciplinary approaches.

The courses listed on the following pages include only ICS Core and Comparative courses. The most up-to-date listings of approved Comparative and Region courses are available on the ICS website, organized and archived by semester and year.

^ THE MAJOR

The ICS major is divided into four categories: (1) Core courses are taught by ICS faculty members and include the required gateway (first or second year), the required capstone (senior year), and for students in excellent academic standing who wish to complete a supervised research project, the two-semester senior year thesis sequence. (2) Region courses focus on a particular geographic area of the world. (3) Comparative courses focus on global and transnational issues. (4) Foreign Language courses build expertise in one language related to a student’s Region focus. Region, Comparative, and Foreign Language courses are offered by faculty members in many of the university’s academic programs and departments, as well as in study away programs. Each ICS major must complete a Curricular Plan, updated with and approved by an ICS adviser each semester, to assure they are on track toward fulfilling major requirements.

Major Requirements: Ten courses (Core, Region, and Comparative) at least eight of which must be at or above the 200 level and at least two of which must be at or above the 400 level. An additional four Foreign Language Co-requisite courses in one language, initiated at any level. Region or Comparative courses may not be below the 100 level. The ICS gateway course fulfills one of the 100-level requirements and the ICS capstone course fulfills one of the 400-level or above requirements. Successful completion of the first semester of the ICS honors thesis sequence fulfills the capstone requirement. The second semester of the thesis sequence does not exempt majors from the second 400-level or above course requirement. The fourteen courses for the major are to be distributed as follows:

Gateway Course (1): Comparative Approaches to Global Issues (ICS 195). This course is offered in fall and spring semesters. Whether or not they major in ICS, students are expected to complete the course in the first or second year of study. Students who plan to be ICS majors are expected to complete the course before a study-away semester. Juniors who are majors in ICS may petition the DUS to take the course in exceptional circumstances, although course enrollment is capped at 45 and waitlists are honored. The course is cross-listed in ACES by the departments of cultural anthropology, sociology, history, religion, and political science (the course number under which a student enrolls is irrelevant). ICS 195 is a prerequisite for ICS 489S, the ICS capstone seminar.

Region Concentration (4 courses): To gain some historical, political, and cultural knowledge depth related to one part of the world, ICS majors choose a Region concentration and complete four courses chosen from ICS-approved Region courses. The most up-to-date Region courses are archived by semester and year and available on the ICS website. Region courses are generally not assigned an ICS number in ACES, although they will have such a number if they also meet ICS Comparative criteria.

Criteria for ICS Region courses: Content is focused on cultural, social, historical, political, economic, and/or identity dynamics; is theoretically informed and empirically engaged with fieldwork, archives, literary, artistic, and cultural artifacts or processes, and/or statistical data; is largely focused on a particular place or region; and examines dynamics that occurred at any time from 1700 to the present, although it may include content that began in earlier periods.

ICS Regions: ICS students choose a Region Concentration from the following seven geographic options: Africa; China and East Asia; Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; Middle East; Russia and Central Asia; and South Asia. Alternatively, an ICS major may propose to the DUS a differently conceptualized geographic region focused on a part of the world not captured in or crossing these region designations, for example, around a body of water or proximal borders. Cases made for such independently conceived areas must be thoughtful and intentional rather than ad hoc. The seven ICS regions are based on historical, cultural, political and/or economic histories of connection. At the same time, the ICS intellectual project understands that state borders and regions are dynamically produced by different processes and agendas, including transnational. It also recognizes dramatic variety within these regions.

Interdisciplinarity: The four Region courses chosen must come from at least two disciplinary or interdisciplinary homes. The disciplinary home is determined by the originating departmental sponsor of the course. ICS Region courses are organized according to disciplinary home on the ICS website.

Double Counting: One advanced foreign language course may double count toward a major’s Region concentration if its content meets Region criteria.

Study Away Courses in a Foreign Language: Content courses offered in an advanced level of a foreign language at a study-away institution can count toward a major’s Region concentration if they meet Region criteria.

Comparative Courses (4): To deepen the interdisciplinary critical transnational approach introduced in the gateway course, ICS majors complete four courses chosen from ICS-approved Comparative courses. The most up-to-date lists of ICS Comparative courses are archived by semester and available on the ICS website. Comparative courses are typically assigned an ICS number in ACES, but are listed and organized according to the original disciplinary or interdisciplinary home on the ICS website.

Criteria for Comparative courses: Content is organized by a connective, transnational, comparative, or international approach to cultural, social, historical, political, economic, environmental, or discursive dynamics. Courses approach the above through one or more of the following nodes: (1) institutions, organizations, or systems; (2) identities and lived experiences; (3) circulations, circuits, borders, and migrations; (4) social or other movements; (5) cultural productions and receptions. By definition, course content should not be delimited by a focus on one place or nation-state. Course content is theoretically informed and empirically engaged (ethnography, observation, interviews, archives, surveys, and statistical data; institutional, literary, artistic, cultural, commercial, or environmental artifacts, processes, or forms). Course content examines dynamics that occurred at any time from 1700 to the present, although it may include content that began in earlier periods.

Interdisciplinarity: The four Comparative courses chosen must come from at least two disciplinary or interdisciplinary homes. Disciplinary home is determined by the originating departmental sponsor of the course. ICS Comparative courses are organized according to disciplinary home on the ICS website.

^ Foreign Language Co-requisite (4 courses): Because language knowledge is crucial to deeper historical, political and cultural understanding, as well as social and professional functioning in a variety of settings, the ICS major requires two years (four full courses) of university courses in one non-English language used by a group in part or all of the geographic Region concentration. College Board, IB, or other pre-university language courses, knowledge, or exams cannot be counted toward this co-requisite. Language courses used to fulfill the co-requisite can begin at any level. Barring other restrictions, students should count toward the ICS major the most advanced university language courses taken. Barring other restrictions, unlimited content courses offered in one foreign language may count toward the Foreign Language co-requisite. Language courses can be found in their sponsoring departments and will not be listed by ICS numbers in ACES, nor are specific language courses archived or listed on the ICS website.

Double Counting: One advanced language course may double count for an ICS major by also fulfilling the Region Concentration requirement if its content meets Region criteria.

Research Methods: For students fluent in a non-English language widely used in the chosen Region concentration, one of the Foreign Language courses may be met with a research methods or research analysis course.

Additional Notes: Although the foreign language co-requisite is not flexible, in certain cases there is reasonable flexibility in regard to the language used to fulfill it. Examples of such cases: 1) when a second year of a language is not taught at Duke; 2) when no language course is available at a sufficiently advanced level. In such cases students should consult their ICS adviser to work out an alternative plan for satisfying the Foreign Language co-requisite.

Capstone Seminar (1): Capstone Seminar in International Comparative Studies (ICS 489S),. At least one section of this seminar is offered in fall and spring semesters. The seminar is restricted to declared ICS majors in their final year or semester (for December graduates) of study. ICS 195 is a prerequisite for ICS 489S.

ICS Advising & ICS Curricular Plan: After a student has formally declared an ICS major, the DUS will assign the student an ICS adviser who will assist in the completion of a required ICS Curricular Plan (blank forms are available on the ICS website). In order to assure the accuracy of each student’s Curricular Plan and that each ICS student is on track for timely completion of major requirements, ICS majors are responsible for meeting with their ICS adviser to update an individualized Curricular Plan every semester before registration. Students who are abroad often communicate with their ICS advisers before registration through e-mail or Skype. This requirement to update a Curricular Plan every term holds true for all declared ICS majors, including second majors and students who plan to study abroad the following semester, unless they have completed all ICS requirements and such completion is reflected on an updated and approved Curricular Plan. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the ICS major, having an accurate and up-to-date Curricular Plan on file with the Program is the single most important administrative aspect for a successful Senior Clearance before commencement.

Study Abroad: ICS students are strongly encouraged to study away, and a large majority of ICS majors complete some part of their coursework in study abroad programs. Students considering or planning to major in ICS are expected to complete the required gateway course, ICS 195, before a study abroad semester. Up to four full credit study away or transfer courses that meet ICS Region, Comparative, or Foreign Language criteria may count toward the major. Students who declare an ICS major are required to complete an ICS Curricular Plan with an adviser before leaving for a study abroad program. The ICS gateway, capstone and thesis courses must be taken at Duke and may not be substituted with study abroad courses. ICS considers any study abroad course determined to meet Region or Comparative criteria to be at the intermediate level, or between 200 and 399 in the university numbering system. Further important information on Study Abroad requirements and policies is available on the ICS website.

Grants and Awards: Duke students who are not graduating seniors are eligible to apply for research funding provided by several units on campus. See the Undergraduate Research Support Office website for more information: http://undergraduateresearch.duke.edu/. In addition, rising seniors accepted into the ICS honors thesis seminar sequence may apply for a summer travel grant to advance language learning and/or field research, funded by the Scott Lee Stephenson Memorial Fund. The author of the best ICS distinction project is recognized with the Annual ICS Distinguished Thesis Award.

Departmental Graduation with Distinction

ICS offers a Graduation with Distinction program for majors whose achievements in university coursework and co-curricular experiences have prepared them to complete an interdisciplinary research-based project on a question of interest relevant to the critical transnationalism focus of the ICS Program.

Structure: A two-semester seminar sequence (ICS 495S and ICS 496S), taken fall and spring of senior year, supports the completion of the distinction project. Each student chooses a Duke faculty member with expertise on the project topic to serve as a research supervisor, and is guided through a multi-stage writing process by the ICS faculty member teaching the seminar sequence. Under most circumstances, the product is a completed thesis of 80 or more pages. Students may work in, with, and through different mediums, but all are required to complete a research-based substantial piece of writing and to submit the project in electronic and paper forms. The completed project is submitted for evaluation to the ICS Distinction Committee by mid-April of the senior year.

Coursework: The honors seminar courses count toward the major. Successful completion of ICS 495S in fall term fulfills the major requirement for ICS 489S, the senior capstone course. Students must complete 11 non-Foreign Language courses to graduate with distinction in the major instead of the standard 10.

Application: To apply for admission to the honors seminar sequence a student must complete, by the end of the junior year, a substantial portion of the major (roughly 11 courses), must have strong academic achievement (at least 3.3 GPA) in the major, and must have an updated ICS curricular plan on file with the program. Applications from interested juniors are due in early March. The application includes a project proposal and initial bibliography (of 2-3 pages), along with a letter of recommendation from a Duke faculty member willing to serve as the research supervisor. Further details on the application process, including specific deadlines, are available on the ICS website.

Levels of Distinction and Evaluation Procedure: Three levels are possible: Distinction, High Distinction, or Highest Distinction. Levels of distinction, based on the quality of the completed work, are determined by the ICS Distinction Committee in consultation with the student’s research supervisor. Students who have done satisfactory work in the honors seminars but whose thesis is denied distinction will receive graded credit for the coursework.

Double Honors: While the ICS Program does not allow students to pursue double honors (i.e., complete a single interdisciplinary thesis for two different departments), each ICS student in the Distinction Program is expected to produce an interdisciplinary thesis project.

Further details on deadlines, schedules, and expectations for Graduation with Distinction in ICS are available on the ICS website.
