International Program in Inter-Asia Cultural Studies (University System of Taiwan)

---

The International Program in Inter-Asia Cultural Studies seeks to advance new forms of interdisciplinary knowledge that connect academic learning to inter-Asian as well as global problems and contexts. It highlights four curricula clusters: Critical Theory and Asian Modernity, Contemporary Thought-trends and Social Movements, Gender/Sexuality Studies, and Visual Studies. With a pool of 60 outstanding teachers in the humanities and social sciences, IACS offers an ideal environment for students who are interested in the socio-historical-political-cultural studies of Asia in the global context.

IACS is not only a cultural and economic reality but most importantly a historical-philosophical construct laden with multiple and conflicting forces. Students are required to choose one specialized area of interest but may take courses from any of the four course clusters organized by the Program, and cross-campus transportation is provided by the UST to facilitate enrollment in courses located on different campuses.

In addition to course work, the International Program in Inter-Asia Cultural Studies offers a diverse community of scholars with passionate commitments to intellectual inquiry in the classroom, in scheduled special seminars, and in dozens of workshops and conferences held each year throughout the UST. International exchange agreements have been signed by the program with 18 other institutions of cultural studies throughout the region, thus offering further opportunities to coordinate with other Asian cultures and studies.
