One course, credit-bearing and worth at least 3 credits, from an approved list of courses. Courses fulfilling this requirement engage students in theoretical issues and political debates pertaining to questions of "diversity," namely race, ethnicity, language, migration and diasporas, gender, and sexualities. These courses must juxtapose two or more visions or methods which would enable an understanding of an increasingly globalized world. Sample topics include the following: histories of religion, social movements, cultural conflicts, racial tensions, visual culture and representation of transnational identities and differences, international feminisms, and sexual prejudice. Study abroad does not ipso facto satisfy this requirement, although individual courses taken abroad may qualify.
