12 November 2010 Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race Columbia University NYC
The aim of the Workshop on Critical Approaches to Race and Ethnicity is to create an interdisciplinary space for the critical consideration of race and ethnicity. By bringing together a diverse community of scholars and activists, we seek to examine racial and ethnic formation and engage race and ethnicity as categories of analysis in order to address larger social, cultural, economic, and political questions across geographical boundaries. The Workshop will serve as a space for scholars to develop and share ideas, drawing upon the personal and academic experiences of the Columbia University community.
