ICA

As Stanford educates the leaders of the future, we must prepare them to deal with the great issues facing the world – health, peace, prosperity, environmental sustainability – from a basis of cultural and historical understanding as well as a basis of scientific analysis. The Division of International Comparative and Area Studies (ICA) strengthens existing international programs and expands the scope of our scholarship and education to include critically important regions and themes in today’s world.

Orhan Pamuk Visits Stanford

Orhan Pamuk, the Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 2006, visited Stanford on October 22. Pamuk is described as someone "who in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city has discovered new symbols for the class and interlacing of cultures." He drew an audience of 1600 at Memorial Auditorium.

The S.T. Lee Lecture was co-sponsored by the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, the Division of International, Comparative and Area Studies, the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, the Office of the Provost and the Forum on Contemporary Europe.
