Race, Ethnicity and Migration
This concentration uses the analytical frameworks of critical race and ethnic studies as well as migration studies to study a variety of interconnected topics and questions related to human mobility. These include debates about core concepts (e.g., nationality, ethnicity, race, anti-Semitism); the global and local forces shaping multicultural, multiracial, and multiethnic societies; the policies, practices, and legacies of exclusion; the connections between migration and other historical developments such as imperialism, capitalism, racism, anti-Semitism, and genocide; and the politics of history and memory as they relate to migration. Faculty expertise spans the United States, East Asia, South Asia, and Europe from early modern times to the present.
