Ethnic Studies Minor

The Ethnic Studies minor provides an interdisciplinary approach to studying the systematic marginalization of racialized minorities at how racialized groups in the US have and do respond to and counter these forces through everyday life, art, culture, political organization, and other forms of social citizenship. In an introductory core course and through a set of four electives, students will study race, ethnicity, and indigeneity, with an emphasis on the experiences of people of color in the United States and with an explicit emphasis on naming, reckoning with and resisting systems of power and oppression. Up to three (3) credits from a student’s major may be used to satisfy the minor.
