The Critical Race and Ethnic Studies major aims to help students study African American, Asian American, Indigenous, and Latinx peoples; understand race and ethnicity in the United States along transnational and transhistorical lines, centering the study of racialized power and its circuits; and situate forms of resistance and social justice in the present moment.
Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the major will:
- Become familiar with, apply, and differentiate concepts, theories, and debates central to the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity
- Examine histories of racial formations and the exercises of racialized power, in the form of white supremacy and settler colonialism, in the U.S. and beyond
- Identify and compare resistance movements and the role they play in liberation, community-building, and nation-building
- Analyze how race and ethnicity intersect with and impact each other and with gender, gender expression, sexuality, ability, religion, and nationality
- Recognize their own assumptions about race, interpersonal racism, and understand how racialized power has impacted their experience
- Analyze how race and ethnicity are implicated in questions of social justice
- Combine academic learning with practical application through SURE, internships, and/or co-curricular programming
- Analyze how race and ethnicity are also managed through desires, pleasures, and world-building
- Combine academic learning with professional development through presentations at the Stonehill undergraduate conference and association conferences
