This major is for independently minded, motivated students, who have a desire to study an individualized topic that draws on two or more disciplinary methodologies. The history of Emory’s ILA, which dates back to the 1950s , has included various programs in innovative interdisciplinary education and research, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The ILA has always had a strong commitment to faculty collaborations that cross disciplinary boundaries, and to public and experimental forms of scholarship. As an institute committed to the exploration of forms of knowledge that are enriched by dialogue across disciplines and departments, the ILA seeks to be a catalyst for intellectual conversations aimed at understanding the cohesion and potential of the liberal arts, and the significance and social responsibilities of science and scholarship in the 21st century. Recent students in the ILA have used the Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) and American Studies (AMST) Majors to focus on an array of student-designed topics, from art history and politics, to biases in the treatment in U.S. high school history texts of the WWII internment of Japanese Americans.When they declare, majors are assigned faculty co-advisors, generally including the DUS or one of the core IDS faculty, and a faculty member from any department with specific expertise in the student's area of interdisciplinary research. The co-advisors will work closely with each student to complete an IDS or AMST proposal that specifies relevant courses as major requirements, subject to revisions to be approved by both co-advisors. Undergraduate interdisciplinary study proceeds on the hypothesis that some, if not all, subjects require methodologies, evidence, or texts drawn from more than one discipline, if they are to be understood deeply. Three pillars structure each student's experience in the undergraduate programs of the ILA: a critical perspective on the history, inter-relationship, and contested nature of disciplinary boundaries, specifically with reference to social structures of education and higher education; a focus on writing as a crucial dimension of fully engaged reading, understanding, and public scholarship; vibrant co-teaching as a model and embodiment of interdisciplinary inquiry and learning at the undergraduate level
