The Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America was established in 1986 as one of the nation's earliest academic centers dedicated to research scholarship, and community-building around issues of race and ethnicity. 

Today, CSREA continues this charge by supporting and generating rigorous and accessible research, performance, art, and scholarship on a broad range of issues. The Center’s timely events and programs include fellowship opportunities for faculty and artistic practitioners, grants for course innovation, signature lecture series that bring groundbreaking academics to campus, and much more.

Through this work, the Center aims to build intellectual communities, develop and enhance research networks, foster generative public conversations on pivotal issues, and contribute meaningfully to the creation of a more just society.
