Ethnic studies is a
multidisciplinary field focused on the analysis of socially-constructed
categories such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, nationality and
(non)citizenship. Using a range of materials, from literary and musical works
to sociological studies and historical texts, we deeply examine the processes
whereby social categories of identity and difference are produced, resisted,
inhabited, embraced, and transformed across historical time and geographic
space. We trace the ways in which these racialized categories shape and are
shaped by a variety of other complex issues, such as colonialism, military
conflict, and the relations between capital and labor. Our classes interrogate
systems of power and inequality, analyze the effects of social justice
movements past and present, and delve into the ontology and phenomenology of
the elusive notion of liberation. By familiarizing students with a range of methodological
tools for the study of social life, while prioritizing the voices and
perspectives of marginalized individuals and minoritized communities, we open
up an intellectual space within which the term "ethnic" in
"ethnic studies" is both critically deconstructed and strategically
affirmed.
