The goal of the Race, Power, and Resistance major is to provide students with an option to study concepts, methodologies, and histories related to race, power, and resistance from an interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective. This major has an unapologetic focus on race and power inequalities in the U.S. and the diaspora. It is enhanced by a rich array of interdisciplinary course offerings that is unified by a coherent conceptual core. The major is housed in the Center for the Study of Culture, Race & Ethnicity (CSCRE).
Race, Power, and Resistance

A flexible major
The Race, Power, and Resistance major has an integrated experiential learning component that allows students to apply what they learn in real world contexts. It also has a flexible design that allows students to explore different departments, disciplines, and schools.
