 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
Our world is shaped by issues and understandings of race and ethnicity: law, governance and policy, pop culture, the places we live, even how we interact with each other. The Race & Ethnicity Specialization of the History BA offers students the historical tools to critically analyze the construction of racial identities, communities, frameworks, and racism in their communities and in the world more broadly. While students can concentrate on race and racism in global or regional contexts, all students will gain an understanding of race and ethnicity in United States and global environments.
