Recognizing the pr<strong>of</strong>ound transformations shaping our world<br />
today, the Department <strong>of</strong> History and Social Sciences <strong>of</strong>fers an<br />
interdisciplinary degree program, featuring the choice between<br />
two Tracks:<br />
I. Historical Cultures and Nations<br />
II. Gender Studies and Social Cultures<br />
An interdisciplinary senior seminar is required, and an<br />
internship <strong>of</strong>fering practical experience may be arranged.<br />
To prepare students for a fuller understanding <strong>of</strong> today's<br />
globalized society and multi-civilizational world, the degree<br />
program integrates courses in history, gender studies, and<br />
social sciences — anthropology and psychology — in such a<br />
manner as to relate the content <strong>of</strong> courses in one area to that<br />
in the other areas.<br />
I. <strong>The</strong> Historical Cultures and Nations Track formulates<br />
with its courses historical narratives that investigate the<br />
legitimization <strong>of</strong> political languages, social actions, cultural<br />
representations, or ideological projections. <strong>Course</strong>s examine<br />
public life within geographical areas, national zones, or cultural<br />
spaces.<br />
II. <strong>The</strong> Gender Studies and Social Cultures Track shapes<br />
with its courses a different cultural zone, one where traditional<br />
discourse is altered and transformed through notions <strong>of</strong><br />
gender, identity, difference, or projection. What is investigated<br />
is the social transformation <strong>of</strong> humans within civilizational<br />
processes.<br />
Note: Track II is an interdisciplinary concentration with<br />
course options in Anthropology, Art History, Comparative<br />
Literature, Communications, History, International Affairs,<br />
and Psychology.<br />
