American Ethnic Studies Minor

American Ethnic Studies asks students to identify power regimes and techniques, locally and globally, that inhibit, restrict, and deny minoritized groups. In this minor, students will recognize the knowledges emerging from and produced within subjugated groups and learn about liberatory projects of communities. Throughout their coursework, students will integrate the methodological and thematic evolution of critical ethnic studies in coursework and/or field studies.
