度 & 项目 Ethnic Studies Minor
Analyze racial and 少数民族 issues and craft creative responses
The interdisciplinary 少数民族 studies minor provides you with the opportunity to study the cultural, 历史, 政治, 宗教, and social dimensions of a variety of racial and 少数民族 groups. The minor will equip you with an interdisciplinary knowledge base and set of skills about 比赛 and 种族 in local, 国家, 以及全球背景. This will allow you to understand the ways in which U.S. and global systems of power are rooted in racial and 少数民族 constructs. The minor will also equip you to grapple with the 历史 and present relationship of Christianity and the Christian church to both 国家 and global systems. Through your coursework, you will learn to situate issues of racial and 少数民族 identity, 种族歧视, and equity within the context of Christian understandings of human flourishing. A minor in 少数民族 studies will equip you to lead faithfully in the pluralistic environment that is our contemporary world, and to work for social change that promotes justice and equity.
