Who we are
The undergraduate concentration in Ethnic Studies at Brown was born out of student protest - protest across generations of students and faculty. More specifically, widespread campus unrest in 1988 led to the creation of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America and the first courses in Ethnic Studies. And soon after the 1992 occupation of University Hall, plans for a formal undergraduate concentration were drawn up, ultimately earning campus approval in 1996. Central to these protests was a strong, student-and-faculty based commitment to what was then understood as Third World solidarity, a belief in the strength of intersectional and interdisciplinary study, all rooted in a vigorous critique of empire, power, and white supremacy. A key to their success was a determination to make change over the long term, to build something at Brown that would be intellectually powerful and socially and politically meaningful.
Since 2012, Ethnic Studies has been situated in the Department of American Studies, which also includes the American Studies concentration.
