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.
