The
department of Ethnic Studies offers an interdisciplinary
curriculum designed to foster an understanding of the
histories and cultures of racial and ethnic groups in
their local, national, and global contexts. The program
emphasizes studies of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality,
and the historical processes of slavery, colonial conquest,
immigration, and globalization, among other subject areas.
Learning
Outcomes
Upon
completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in ethnic
studies are expected to:
-
Comprehend how racial and ethnic identities are constructed,
negotiated, or contested over time, cultures, and geographical
space;
- Employ
diverse analytical resources, case studies, and comparative
modes of study as critical cognitive tools to address
issues of difference;
- Articulate
general principles that shape ethnic relations and their
intersections with gender, sexuality, and class in structural
contexts of power;
- Draw
larger theoretical lessons from comparisons among ethnic
groups in the U.S. and in other diasporic sites;
- Effectively
communicate and address issues of race and ethnicity,
