IACS-UST 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: (1) Critical Theory and Asian Modernity, (2) Contemporary Thought-trends and Social Movement, (3) Gender and Sexuality Studies, (4) Visual Culture Studies (Art History & Cinema Studies) with a pool of 70 outstanding faculty members from various disciplinary backgrounds in the four universities.
We expect every IACS graduate to have a good grasp of Asian societies, politics and historical commonalities. As they grow knowledgeable about the latest developments of interdisciplinary studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, we also hope to cultivate their sensitivity to everyday changes, both on the local and the global level. The students will learn to think and observe beyond disciplinary boundaries while also receiving proper training in the foundational disciplinary traditions.
