A list of Focus Groups and their student facilitators is available in the CHID office. It is possible to take these groups for credit as well. Several colloquia based on issues of common interest have been developed. As need and interest dictate, special colloquia can be formed. These often are the product of student initiative and at times can be organized and directed by students under the guidance of faculty members or the Program Director.
Individual students can pursue special topics in a like manner with independent studies.
Employing student participation and creativity, Comparative History of Ideas has organized and provides support for an interdisciplinary, undergraduate journal, InterSections.
