Ethnic Studies is the study of race and ethnicity with a focus on the experiences of people of color within the United States in history up to the present. By looking at the role played by race and ethnicity in American society, Ethnic Studies provides an important means to examine and contextualize what is happening right now in the United States-and why it is happening. Ethnic Studies explores race and ethnicity as categories of difference and how these categories have been defined, constructed, and applied in different places and at different times. As a student, you will draw upon many disciplines and areas of thought to question the origin and continuity of race and racism. Through this understanding, students will recognize that progressive change is possible.
