he
Ethnic/Gender Studies Program at Emporia
State University is an interdisciplinary program of study, established
through the College of
Liberal Arts & Sciences, that serves as an umbrella program for
the distinct but often related fields of Ethnic Studies and Gender Studies. Some Ethnic/Gender Studies courses illuminate the role of minorities and/or women in history and culture as depicted in one or more established academic fields. Other courses present new analysis and interpretations of particular cultural or gender-based experiences by using the methodologies and perspectives obtained from a synthesis of two or more discrete disciplines.
As an interdisciplinary program of
study, Ethnic/Gender Studies seeks to provide intensive educational experiences
which will foster in students a deep understanding of the ramifications
of the issues of race, ethnicity and gender in our lives.
