Description

Newer programs and centers in Ethnic Studies have formed as the population of New York City and the United States have changed drastically in the last half century. This second roundtable on Ethnic Studies @ CUNY turns our attention to Ethnic Studies institutions at CUNY that were established after the 1980s or centered particular nationalities. These include The Haitian Studies Institute at Brooklyn College, The CUNY Mexican Studies Institute at Lehman College, The Center for Latin American, Caribbean and Latino Studies at the CUNY Grad Center, The Black Studies Program at City College, The DuBois Bunche Center for Public Policy at Medgar Evers College and the Asian American Studies Program and Center at Hunter College. Each CUNY Ethnic Studies institution has a rich history and continues to engage new sites of racialization and inequality, and new theoretical frames.
