Race, Indigeneity, and Migration
Major in the College of Liberal Arts
The Race, Indigeneity and Migration (RIM) major aims to serve students who are interested in studying the making and meanings of comparative race, indigeneity and migration as they take shape in law, policy, economies, cultural spheres and in public education.
It provides space for thinking about these issues as they intersect with the concepts of gender and sexuality. Geographically, the major will focus on the United States, but it will also offer courses with a global scope.
