BAIS Concentration in Ethnicity,
Nationalism, and Migration
Course Distribution Requirements:
The BAIS requires 24 hours of course
work in the student's chosen
concentration. 3 hours of that course
work must include IS 4998 (International
Studies Internship). 12 hours must be
taken in courses that are 2000-level or
above. In addition, the concentration of
24 hours plus the 7 hours of electives
must include 15 hours of course work in
the social sciences. No more than 9 hours
of the 24 hours can be in a single
discipline.
In the Ethnicity, Nationalism, &
Migration Concentration,
students will focus on the
demographic dimensions of
international studies, examining
the economic, social, and
political causes and effects of
population flows and the
development of ethnic identities
and movements around the
world. Students will draw on a
wide range of disciplinary
perspectives to become familiar
with the structure of international
migrations. The concentration
will include the study of the
economic context of migrations,
the formation of migration and
refugee policies, and social and
cultural conflicts in countries of
origin and in countries of
destination. In addition, students
will study the development of
claims for ethnic recognition and
minority rights, the challenges
such claims pose for the
dominance of the nation-state,
the politics of difference, and the
persistence of nationalism and
ethnicity in a context marked by
the growth of supranational
organizations and the spread of
global cultures.
This concentration will prepare
students for work in both the
public and private sectors,
including international
development agencies, and
organizations focused on ethnic
conflict resolution, immigration
policy, refugees, migration, and
settlement. Students will also be
prepared to work in industries
interested in international labor
issues and cultural marketing.
