Race and Ethnicity

The sociology of race and ethnicity examines questions of global racial formations in reproducing social inequalities. Ongoing interdisciplinary and multi-method research by faculty and graduate students explores the complex effects of racism and ethnic differentiation in relation to culture and identities, gender and sexuality, education, poverty, socioeconomic mobility, health and mortality, immigration and citizenship, law, and labor.
