Mission
The Mission of the Department of Ethnic Studies is to offer opportunities for
students to deepen their understanding of the multicultural and multi-racial history
and character of the American experience generally and the varied racial and
ethnic experiences specifically. Ethnic Studies is inherently interdisciplinary as
race, ethnicity, gender and class are examined in all areas of society. In addition,
the aim is to locate the experiences of people of color in a larger global context in
terms of identity, culture, sociology, history and economic relations between
nations.
