Interdisciplinary Theories and Research on Race and Ethnic Studies

This seminar introduces major interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives that inform research and scholarship on race and ethnic studies in the U.S. and beyond. The seminar highlights the centrality of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to the study of race and ethnicity. It also examines the core concepts that have informed the field, including intersectionality, indigeneity, diaspora, transnationalism, racism, and decolonization. It also introduces core components of research design, including the politics and ethics of research, how to develop research projects, research methods in the humanities (e.g., archival methods, oral history, auto/biography, visual methodologies, discourse analysis) and in the social sciences (e.g., ethnography, interviews, surveys, geographic information systems, and quantitative analysis of existing data).
