Welcome to the Ethnicity, Race, and First Nations Studies Program

As we enter the 21st century it will be difficult to live or work in the United States without a well-developed understanding of race, culture, and ethnicity. Global changes impact our nation as more and more people migrate to the U.S. for economic, cultural, educational, and political reasons. Through the Ethnicity, Race and First Nations Studies Program, students will learn:

  • Fundamental, theoretical and political questions regarding the social construction of categories of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class and nation.
     
  • How American culture has been continually reshaped by historical and contemporary movements of people, commerce, and ideas across global borders.
     
  • How to study issues in a comparative, relational, and multidisciplinary fashion in order to critically analyze questions of power and social justice.
     
  • How to apply classroom theories to community-based internships and research.
