ICIS theme seminars integrate visiting speakers, conferences, or workshops, with graduate seminar training and faculty research across disciplines and world areas. The 2006-07 theme, "States of Inclusion" includes seminars and conferences on "Subaltern Citizens and their Histories" and "Globalization, Gender, and Location."  The 2005-06 theme, "Globalization and Empire," included seminars, conferences, and speaker series on "Globalization in Practicum," "Empires Past and Present," and "Empire:  Fiction and Theory."

In conjunction with its seminar offerings, ICIS supports two post-doctoral fellowships and provides graduate supplementary fellowships for international research and training. Details can be found under "Funding."

The ICIS seminar program is designed to be interdisciplinary in perspective and inter-areal in scope.  Themes vary by year, depending on the interests of faculty and advanced students.
