Ethnic Studies is the study of the histories, experiences, cultures, and issues of racial ethnic groups in the United States. The Ethnic Studies discipline emphasizes the social and historical study of race and racism in the United States, and it is defined by its attention to the systemic power relations that arise from institutional, cultural, and societal, contextually imposed or chosen meanings and interpretations of 鈥渞ace.鈥� While the focus is on the experiences of racialized peoples in the United States, the department also understands that race and racism are not unique or exclusive to the United States and can be juxtaposed with academic parallels made beyond the borders of the United States.
