Ethnic Studies

Ethnic Studies is the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity as understood through the experiences and perspectives of the four primary racialized groups in the United States - African Americans, Asian Americans, Chicanxs/Latinxs, and Native Americans. Ethnic Studies uses an intersectional approach that considers race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, gender, ability, immigration status, national origin, tribal citizenship, language, and other markers of social identity to examine social inequality, and to envision and work toward a more just and egalitarian society.
