Ethnic and Racial Studies

Ethnic and Racial Studies is an academic field that examines how groups defined by race and ethnicity experience society. It focuses on the historical and cultural factors that shape identity, social dynamics, power relations, and inequality. By analyzing the intersections of race, ethnicity, class, and gender, this field explores how social structures affect individuals and communities. It aims to understand the impact of racism, discrimination, and cultural diversity on people's lives, contributing to broader discussions about social justice, inclusion, and identity in both historical and contemporary contexts.
