| 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.
