MISSION & HISTORY

Critical Ethnic Studies seeks to dynamically animate the criticality of ethnic studies as a field, both at its revolutionary roots and in its current moment, rather than reproduce its institutionalized formation as siloized identitarian subfields. By enacting ethnic studies as an urgent political education project, CES aims not only to catalyze the insurgent possibilities of a field that centers critiques of colonial racial capitalism but also to envision and materialize prospects for solidarity across geographies, histories, and institutional contexts.
