Special Study Centers, Programs, and Opportunities Special Study Centers, Programs, and Opportunities 60 Education Records Campus Centers and Institutes INTERNATIONAL AND AREA STUDIES PROGRAMS Center for International Studies. The university's Center for International Studies promotes, coordinates, and supports a wide array of research and teaching activities on international issues in Arts and Sciences and the professional schools. Faculty associated with the center come from diverse disciplines and reflect a wide range of intellectual interests. Their primary bond is a concern with peoples, events, movements, and institutions outside the United States; relations among nations; and activities and institutions in the United States that affect the rest of the world. The center fosters the belief that comparative knowledge and understanding of other cultures and societies are essential for an appreciation of the world in which we live and deserve primary emphasis in teaching and research in the university. The functions of the center are to provide focus, structure, and support to the research efforts of associated scholars and to serve as a catalyst for the coordination of varied research undertakings. It also assists in dissemination of these undertakings and fosters international activities in educational, research, and governmental institutions in the local area and in the southeastern United States. The Center for International Studies is involved in monitoring and initiating change in the international curricula of the undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools of the university. It has a special interest in undergraduate education and, through a variety of programs and activities, makes a contribution to the undergraduate academic experience. It seeks to attract students to the wide range of international and comparative courses available, and it offers awards to rising sophomores for summer travel and research overseas. In recognition of the excellence of its programs, Duke's Center for International Studies has been designated a National Resource Undergraduate Center in International Studies by the U.S. Department of Education. Campus Centers and Institutes 61 In addition, the center provides funding for graduate student and faculty travel and research, and for interdisciplinary faculty working groups and committees which sponsor programs such as visiting speakers, faculty seminars, conferences/symposia, film series, working papers and other activities. Thematic and area studies committees include: African Studies Comparative Islamic Studies Contemporary East Asian Popular Culture National Identity, Nationalism, and Ethnicity South Asian Studies Transitional Issues in the Former Soviet Union Asian/Pacific Studies. This program, administered by the Asian/Pacific Studies Institute, supports and encourages Asian and Pacific studies with special emphasis on China, Japan, and Korea. Courses offered cover a range of disciplines including Asian and African culture, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (language and literature); art history, cultural anthropology, economics, history, law, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology. The institute provides support for visiting speakers and conferences, library resources and research clusters. A limited number of scholarships and fellowships, including FLAS fellowships, are available annually. Study abroad opportunities are available in China (Duke credit) and Japan (transfer credit). Majors are available at the undergraduate level through the comparative area studies program (East Asian concentration) or through Asian and African Languages and Literature. At the graduate level the institute offers a certificate and an M.A. in East Asian Studies. Canadian Studies Center. The Canadian Studies Center administers the Canadian Studies Program, which offers courses introducing students to various aspects of Canadian life and culture. Courses and lectures in a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences are designed to increase students' knowledge and understanding of Canada. Special emphasis is placed on Canadian problems and comparisons of Canadian and American perspectives. Concentrations in Canadian studies are described in the chapter ''Courses of Instruction.'' Study abroad opportuni- ties are available. Latin American Studies Program. The Council on Latin American Studies is charged with the oversight and coordination of undergraduate and graduate education in Latin American Studies, and with the promotion of research and dissemination of knowledge about the region. The council offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate in Latin American Studies, which students can earn in conjunction with their bachelor's degree. Additional information about this certificate program can be found in the chapter "Courses and Academic Programs." Faculty associated with the council offer a wide range of courses in the humanities, the social sciences, Portuguese and Spanish. The council also sponsors visiting professors and lecturers from Latin America, a speakers series, conferences, and summer and academic year programs abroad. In addition, the council and the Institute of Latin American Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill sponsor the Duke-University of North Carolina Program in Latin American Studies, that includes yearly faculty exchanges of two faculty members from each institution and joint undergraduate and graduate student seminars as well as the annual Latin American Film Festival. For more information consult the program coordinator at 2114 Campus Drive, Box 90254, Durham, NC 27708-0254; telephone (919) 681-3980; e-mail: [email protected]; website:http://www.duke.edu/web/las/index.html. Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies. With the support of the U.S. Department of Education, this joint Duke-University of North Carolina Center coordinates interdisciplinary efforts primarily in the fields of Russian (including Soviet) 62 Campus Centers and Institutes and East European history, economics, political science, literature, linguistics and language training. Language instruction in Russian, Polish, and Ukrainian is available. The committee also sponsors visiting lectures, conferences, symposia, and films. Center for European Studies. Faculty associated with the Duke-University of North Carolina Center for European Studies promote comparative research, graduate training, and teaching activities concerned with historical and contemporary European issues. Funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education, this program regularly sponsors campus-wide events, such as conferences on contemporary trends in European politics and society and recent developments in the European Union. It also supports faculty-student working groups, curriculum development, and library materials acquisition. A West Europe concentration is available for Comparative Area Studies majors. CENTER FOR DOCUMENTARY STUDIES The Center for Documentary studies encourages people to explore each other's lives and their own using photography, filmmaking, writing, oral history, and community service. Programs at the center include teaching, historical research, community-based documentary projects, exhibits, public events and presentations, and publishing. With the tools of documentary work we can look closely at ourselves and others, at our histories, our work and our lives. The center offers a variety of undergrad- uate courses in the documentary tradition designed to challenge the ways we view and render the world. Offered under the auspices of several academic departments, the undergraduate program is supplemented by short courses and workshops offered in collaboration with Duke University Continuing Education. Other opportunities for involvement with the center include volunteer work with community-based documentary programs, work-study positions, internships, and a limited number of graduate assistantships. For more information about the center and current courses, internships, and volunteer opportunities, see our website at cds.aas.duke.edu or consult Darnell Arnoult, Education and Curriculum Director, Center for Documentary Studies, 1317 West Pettigrew St., Durham, NC, 27705, (919) 660-3657. ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER The Academic Skills Center was established to offer academic support to students seeking assistance with their college studies and with the development of the requisite skills required to be successful students. It has a professional staff dedicated to enhancing the academic life of students through its three basic programs. All services of the center are offered without additional university fees and carry no course credit.
