Critical Ethnic Studies in Arizona

Critical ethnic studies seeks to create open dialogues around white supremacy, settler colonialism, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy and develop an approach to scholarship, institution building, and community engagement consistent with the decolonial, antiracist, and other global liberation movements that informed the creation of ethnic studies. We ask: What might an Arizona critical ethnic studies look like in terms of both already existing scholarship, praxis, activism, and pedagogy, and future goals and emerging projects? What do we want it to be, and why? And how do we get there?
