What is American Ethnic Studies?
American Ethnic Studies is a multidisciplinary program that includes African American Studies, American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Ethnomusicology, and Latino/a Studies. We use the conceptual and comparative tools of history, political science, and sociology to analyze the lived experiences of diverse racial and ethnic peoples in the U.S. We explore in detail issues of race, gender, social class, power and privilege to guide students toward active citizenship and ethical decision making.
Contemporary issues in American Ethnic Studies: History, Historical Narrative and Storytelling, the distribution of power and privilege regarding Gender, Class, Sexual Orientation, Race, Religion and Ability, Immigration and Citizenship, Language Privilege, Prejudice and Discrimination, Multiracial/Multiethnic Issues.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s in American Ethnic Studies?
American Ethnic Studies majors develop the knowledge and skills to live and work effectively in all kinds of diverse communities. From advocacy, negotiations and conflict management to counseling, critical thinking and interpersonal communications, Ethnic Studies majors develop skills that are essential to equity and justice in the U.S. and in the world.
