Race, Ethnicity and Nation

The Department of History houses faculty with an array of interests in the intersecting histories of race, ethnicity and the nation in all of their formations. Faculty may approach these subjects as both social constructions, which are contested and change over time, and as lived realities that deeply shape people’s options, actions and associations. The field offers an exciting space for collaborative and comparative work and for the sharing of theoretical and historical approaches to race, ethnicity, and the nation across geographic areas and within global contexts.

The thematic field opens participants to the wider university community through individual faculty affiliations with African and African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Latin American Studies, Mexican American Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies.
