International Cultural StudiesUHM/EWC International Cultural Studies Graduate Certificate Program FacultyW. Dissanayake, PhD (Director)—media studies Certificate Offered: Graduate Certificate in International Cultural Studies The Academic ProgramThe Graduate Certificate in International Cultural Studies offers an interdisciplinary course of study that enhances existing degrees in Arts and Sciences, area studies, and the professional schools. Given that the language of culture is increasingly heard in debates about issues as diverse as nationalism, human rights, immigration, trade, the environment, education, media, and the arts, the certificate program develops tools for a more informed and critical understanding of the role of culture in public debates and policy. Hawai'i's location at the intersection of local, U.S. and Asian spheres of influence provides an important vantage point from which to take up the social and cultural transformations taking place in today's era of economic globalization and restructuring. Issues of cultural identity and politics are sharply drawn in the distinctive mix of indigenous, local and international communities in Hawai'i today. Program courses and activities support a variety of approaches to analyzing and understanding the significance of culture, and of cultural difference, as global flows of people, culture, and capital increase the heterogeneity and flux of everyday life throughout the world. The certificate program brings together faculty whose research and teaching focus on the politics and production of culture in the context of local, national, and international relations. Faculty research methods and styles emphasize the interpretive approaches of the humanities and social sciences. Certificate RequirementsThe certificate program combines course work with directed research and, where possible, community involvement.

Any student who has previously been admitted as a classified graduate student at UH Manoa is eligible to apply for admission to this certificate program. Interested applicants should contact their advisor or any representative of the program in the collaborating departments and institutions.
