Comparative Ethnic Studies
As an interdiscipline, Comparative Ethnic Studies puts forth consideration of race in relation to other relevant categories that shape the human experience, including class, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality, among others. CES courses in the School focus on how popular culture, sports, media, and social issues shape our meaning and understanding of race, ethnicity, and nationality. CES faculty prepare community members to actively and critically engage in their civic responsibilities.
