Middlebury College Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity
The Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) aims to foster research and teaching on race and ethnicity in the U.S. and beyond. 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 topics such as class, gender, sexuality, religion, and migration and that situates these discussions in a transnational context.
The center draws on the intellectual interests of faculty on campus to sponsor symposia, lectures, research projects, seminars, performances, and other activities. It functions as a space for fostering and promoting academic dialogues around issues of diversity and social justice.
