Please consider a donation to the Department of Ethnic Studies to meet our goal of $1,000.
The Department of Ethnic Studies was launched in fall 2024, after years of student demands and institution building that promotes a safe and inclusive environment for all. The Department stands on the legacy of the former College of Ethnic Studies by serving BIPOC communities, promoting empowerment and liberation, and integrating theory and practice throughout the curriculum. It also recognizes its foundations in community activism and seeks to build restorative collaborative relationships with community partners.
In our classes, students assess the lived experiences of racially minoritized and colonized peoples and their dignity in the face of subjugation, dispossession, enslavement and its afterlives. Our students explore critical topics including, colonialism, imperialism, neoliberalism, migration, borders, social movements, resistance, and an ever-expanding carceral state. Student learn though interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches emphasized in our program that include community-led research, literary criticism, critical discourse analysis, political economy, empirical methods, and narrative production.
Ethnic Studies understands that community members like you play an important part in shaping student learning and program building. Ethnic Studies needs your support to enhance student experiences, create internship opportunities, provide travel funds, form community partnerships and collaborations, and expand research opportunities.
Thank you for your support in enriching the lives of our students. We appreciate your commitment to Ethnic Studies, particularly in perilous times.
With Gratitude and Appreciation,
Ethnic Studies
