One term course in the history, culture, economics, or politics of a country other than the United States. Each student takes a two-term senior seminar course. Senior seminars are yearlong working groups of about twelve students directed by a faculty member and organized around a unifying theme or topic selected to reflect student and faculty interests. Each group produces a set of closely related, article-length research papers, with each student's paper being the senior essay. Senior essays should draw on foreign language as well as English sources.
Senior seminars vary from year to year.
The topics for 1998-99 are indicated in the titles of the senior seminars below. Specific course selections and choices of linked majors should be made in consultation with the student's International Studies faculty adviser and the director of undergraduate studies.
