The major and concentration in Comparative Ethnic Studies is offered through the Centor for the Study of Ethnicity and Race. The main questions addressed by students are: how are race and ethnicity formed, and how do conceptualizations of race and ethnicity evolve and change over time and place? Students analyze and criticize both historical and contemporary approaches to this question and do so in national and international contexts.
