Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity

Mission

The Center is committed to interdisciplinary and comparative approaches for understanding formations of race and ethnicity and their effects on human relations. It encourages scholarship that considers race and ethnicity as intersecting with class, gender, sexuality, religion, age, dis/ability, language, communication, migration and the environment. Work supported by the Center situates these discussions in local, regional, global, and transnational contexts.

The CCSRE draws on Middlebury College's expertise in international studies, environmental studies, and language and communication to support critical inquiry on race, ethnicity and diversity.

Race and Ethnicity Reading Group

This reading group is designed for faculty and staff who are interested in
reading and discussing texts on the topics of race and ethnicity in America
and beyond. During AY 2011-2012 we’ll focus especially on education, race,
and ethnicity. The reading group will cover texts from different disciplines
and examine education, race, and ethnicity across local, regional, global,
and transnational contexts. This group meets monthly.
