Ethnic Studies (EST)
Advisor: Jeffrey Ehrenreich
The Ethnic Studies Program and the courses that make up its offerings address questions of ethnic identity and relations among ethnic groups and is supervised by a faculty committee composed of the course instructors. Courses include comparison of specific ethnic groups in their cultural contexts. Students may develop an interdisciplinary major in Ethnic Studies by following the recommendations given below.
- EST 123 (Introduction to Ethnic Studies). This course should be taken as early as possible.
- Four core courses: ANT 101 (Cultural Anthropology), EDU 240 (Human Relations), REL 202 (Religions of the World), and SOC 348 (Race and Ethnic Relations).
- At least four courses chosen from the following: ANT 202 (Indigenous Peoples and Cultures of North America), 203 (Amazonia: People, Culture, and Nature), 204 (Cultures of Mesoamerica and the Andes), 206 (Africans in the New World), 314 (Contact, Change, and Cultural Survival); ART 202 (Ceramics-when taught in Mexico), 261 (Topics in Non-Western Art); ECB 220 (Labor Economics); ENG 351 (African-American Literature); HIS 251 (Federal Indian Policy), 255 (American Lives, when the topic is ``African-Americans''), 350 (Colonial America), 356 (African-Americans in U.S. History), 365 (Women, Work, and Multiculturalism); MUS 225 (World Music); PHI 301 (Asian Philosophy); POL 361 (Race, Sex, and the Constitution), 367 (Urban Politics); PSY 355 (Topics: Multicultural Psychology); REL 321 (Judaism); RUS 281 (Introduction to Russian Culture and Civilization); SOC 248 (Contemporary Native Americans), 376 (Civil Rights and Western Racism); and SPA 385 (Latin American Culture and Civilization).
Similar courses, if approved beforehand by the Ethnic Studies Committee, may also be included in category III. Students are encouraged to develop individual projects in Ethnic Studies and to participate in relevant study-abroad programs (see for example course number 988 below). To count such projects or programs toward an Ethnic Studies major, students must obtain in advance the approval of the Ethnic Studies Committee.
123. Introduction to Ethnic Studies
