International Studies Major
The faculty for the international studies major is drawn from the following departments and programs: Arabic, Chinese, classics, economics, environmental studies, film and media culture, French, geography, German, history, history of art and architecture, Italian, Japanese, philosophy, political science, religion, Russian, sociology/anthropology, and Spanish.
Director: Thierry Warin (economics);Program Directors: African Studies: Jacob Tropp (history); East Asian studies: Stephen Snyder (Japanese); European studies: TBD; Latin American studies: TBD; Middle East Studies: TBD; Russian and East European studies: TBD; South Asian Studies: Cynthia Packert (history of art and architecture), Program Coordinator: Carolann Davis
Mission: The international studies major provides a carefully constructed blend of language, regional, disciplinary, and global courses that, together with study abroad, seeks to impart to students a deep understanding of a specific geographic region, as well as its place within an interdisciplinary and transnational context.
In pursuit of this mission, the major is designed to ensure that all IS majors graduate with (1) advanced competency in a language taught at Middlebury, sufficient to read scholarly materials and engage in complex interaction with native-speaking professionals in their field of concentration; (2) broad exposure to the historical and cultural heritage of their region of focus; (3) solid grounding in one or more of the liberal arts disciplines other than language; and (4) an understanding of the transnational and global context that affects all regions.
International education in a liberal arts context should encourage students to transcend the confines of their own backgrounds and upbringing, apprehend the world through others' eyes, and in the process achieve a deeper understanding of themselves and their place within their own cultures. These transformations are prerequisites for living and working effectively in an increasingly interdependent world.
Courses and Requirements:
All students who major in international studies share elements at the beginning and the end of their college careers, with a core course and a senior program. Students also have a wide variety of choices within the international studies curriculum. They must specialize in one of the seven programs that make up the major: African studies, East Asian studies, European studies, Latin American studies, Middle East studies, Russian and East European studies, and South Asian studies. In addition, students must specialize in one of the traditional liberal arts disciplines, achieve proficiency in one of the languages Middlebury teaches, and study abroad, preferably for a year but at least for one semester. Because of the complex and interdisciplinary nature of the international studies major, students pursuing it are strongly advised not to have an additional major. Any course counted for the IS major may not be counted for any other major or minor. In addition, IS majors may not minor in their disciplinary specialization or their primary language of focus. Beginning with students graduating in February 2009, a minimum of 13 courses must be taken in the IS major in order to graduate. The minimum requirements for the major in international studies are as follows:
The International Studies Core: Students are required to take INTL 0101 as their sole core course requirement, and are expected to take this course before study abroad.
Language Study: Students must become proficient in one of the languages that Middlebury teaches. Individual language departments determine what level of study constitutes proficiency, and students are expected to do advanced work in the language that they study. All majors must take at least one advanced course in the language of study upon returning from abroad and are encouraged to take more than one advanced course.
Regional Specialization: Students must fulfill their program's regional course requirement, listed below. This requirement consists of three or four courses in at least three different departments that focus on the student's region.
Disciplinary Specialization: Students must take at least five courses within a single discipline; see "disciplinary specializations by department" below. Within a student's disciplinary specialization, at least one of the courses must be an upper-level course, and at least two of the courses should have substantial content on the geographical area of specialization. Where possible, such regional courses should be taken on the Middlebury campus, and IS majors should take at least two of their disciplinary courses before going abroad.
Study Abroad: Students must study abroad for at least one semester (and preferably for a year) on a Middlebury-approved study abroad program in their region of focus. Students must receive the approval of the relevant departments and/or, as appropriate, the program director to receive major credit for courses taken abroad.
Senior Program: The IS senior program consists of (1) A senior international studies seminar that is thematic, team-taught, interdisciplinary, or cross-regional, and (2) An upper-level course, preferably two, in the language of emphasis that will be taken after returning from abroad. Students may also elect to write an honors thesis during their senior year. Students writing a two-semester thesis may choose to waive the IS seminar requirement.
Honors: Honors are awarded to students with a GPA* of 3.5 and a thesis grade of B+, high honors to students with a GPA of 3.7 and a thesis grade of A- or A, and highest honors to students with a GPA of 3.8 and a thesis grade of A.
*The international studies GPA is calculated on the basis of those courses that are required to complete the IS major and that are included on the IS degree audit sheet.
Note: Thesis grades do not count in the calculation of the GPA for honors.
Winter Term Course: A winter term course taken at Middlebury may count towards the regional and/or disciplinary requirements only with the approval of the track director. Students wishing to count a winter term course must provide the track director with a copy of the course syllabus. No more than one winter term course may count towards the program requirements.
Area Specializations
African Studies:
The International Studies Committee considers petitions from individual students who have specific plans to complete all the requirements for the international studies major, incorporating courses on Africa as their area studies focus. Students may consider this alternative if they can commit themselves to study a language offered at Middlebury to the advanced level, and to study the appropriate indigenous African language to a level of reasonable competence. Students whose petitions are accepted will be monitored by Middlebury faculty associated with African studies, in consultation with the director of the international studies major. Students interested in African studies should contact the African studies director.

International Studies Courses
INTL 0101 Introduction to International Studies (Fall)
This is the core course of the International Studies major. It is an introduction to key international issues and problems that will likely feature prominently in their courses at Middlebury and study abroad. Issues covered will differ from year to year, but they may include war, globalization, immigration, racism, imperialism, nationalism, world organizations, non-governmental organizations, the European Union, the rise of East Asia, politics and society in Latin America, and anti-Americanism. CMP (D. Rosenberg, T. Sasson)
INTL/PSCI 0250 International Diplomacy and Modern South Asia (Fall)
In this course we will examine current political and economic issues in the countries of South Asia - Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bhutan. We will first examine the background of the South Asian region in general (pre-colonial and colonial eras) and of South Asian countries after independence. We will look at specific interstate and intrastate issues, focusing on the combined quests for political stability and economic development. Students will look at topical issues from the perspective of an officer working in a U.S. Embassy or in a U.S. foreign policy agency. The course will combine rigorous academic understanding of the region with current policy issues. Readings will include both academic studies and contemporary policy/issues papers. SOC AAL (J. Lunstead)
INTL 0251 Identity and Conflict in South Asia (Spring)
In this course we will examine political development and conflict in South Asia through the concept of identity. South Asians take on a variety of identities -- ethnic, religious, linguistic, caste, national, etc. These identities often form the basis of political mobilization and both inter- and intrastate conflict. We will study the general concept of identity, including how identities are constructed and used, and then specific manifestations in South Asia. We will also examine the question of whether these identities were constructed during colonial or post-colonial times, or have an earlier basis. SOC AAL (J. Lunstead)
INTL 0343 Contemporary Israel: State and Society (Fall)
In this course we will examine Israeli society in a period of rapid and profound transformation. Following an introductory unit, our topics will include the rise and decline of Ashkenazi hegemony; recent waves of immigration and the advent of multiculturalism; struggles over the role of religion in society; the changing character of core institutions; the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; civil rights and the democratic character of the state. Course materials will include books, articles, and films. This course is equivalent to SOAN 0343. Ocassional evening screenings. 3 hrs. lect./scr. SOC AAL (T. Sasson)

See program in Environmental Studies for course description. This course will count as an IS senior seminar. 3 hr. sem. SOC (J. Isham)
INTL 0436 Terrorism (Fall)
Terrorism, the act of violent resistance against real or perceived oppression, has taken on new dimensions in an age dominated by mass media and technology. Can we make reliable distinctions between terrorism, anarchism, guerrilla warfare, and random mass murder? What are the political, social, and cultural conditions that favor terrorism? What makes an individual a terrorist? How have governments coped with terrorist movements: What is “state terrorism?” Looking at terrorist movements across the globe, as well as the historical evolution of terrorism, this course will examine explanations for this disintegrative phenomenon given by social scientists, historians, writers, and filmmakers. Students interested in the possibility of receiving German credit for this course should contact Michael Geisler. This course is equivalent to GRMN 0436 and PSCI 0439. (Approval required) 3 hr. sem. (M. Geisler, K. Carmola)
INTL 0469 Fascism: Italy and Germany Compared (Spring)
Fascism was one of the major threats to Western democracy in the twentieth century and left a lasting legacy in world politics. In this course we will explore fascism in the two countries where it had its greatest development: Italy and Germany. In each, fascist political rule established a complex network of social, cultural, aesthetic, and ideological values. We will also address a variety of issues, including the attraction of fascism for leaders and the masses, the construction and reaction to enemies of the state, the creation of distinct aesthetic ideals in Germany and Italy, and the legacy of fascism today. This course is equivalent to HIST 0469 3 hrs. sem. HIS CMP EUR (R. Bennette, N. Chang)
INTL 0470 Marxism Today (Fall)
The Berlin Wall may have fallen and China and Russia embraced capitalism, yet in a world where economic exploitation, inequality and social marginalization have devastating effects on people’s lives, Marxist thought continues to have an urgent relevance across the world. In this course, we will explore some of the key texts of Marxist theory, focusing in particular on culture and geography. We will read texts by Marx and Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemberg, Lukacs, Benjamin, Adorno and the Frankfurt School, Antonio Gramsci, Mao Tse Tung, Raymond Williams, Althusser, Lefebvre, David Harvey, Fredric Jameson, and Hardt and Negri. Some of the key concepts that we will explore are: ideology and discourse, commoditization and reification, territoriality and hypermobility, agency and structure, resistance and hegemony, materialism and alienation. This course is equivalent to ENAM 0470 and GEOG 0470. 3 hr. sem. (G. Herb, Y. Siddiqi)
INTL 0472 “The Religious Life”: Buddhist and Christian Monastic Traditions Compared (Spring)
Both Buddhism and Christianity include traditions of monasticism, of men and women leaving home for "the religious life." In this course, we will study and compare Buddhist monasticism in Asia and Christian monasticism in the Mediterranean and Europe from historical and religious perspectives. We will read primary sources, from the Life of St. Anthony and the Rule of St. Benedict to the verses attributed to the first Buddhist nuns and a Zen monastic code. We will examine monastic vocation, the role of gender, monastic-state relations, the integration of monasteries into society, and the adaptation of monasticism to different cultures. We will conclude with attention to contemporary manifestations of monastic culture, including Buddhist-Christian dialogue on monastic life. This course is equivalent to HIST 0472 and RELI 0472.
