UC San Diego's ethnic studies program explores interdisciplinary research into how society shapes concepts of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality. The department employs groundbreaking transnational, relational, and intersectional methodologies to critically examine power structures and disparities, incorporating perspectives from marginalized and indigenous groups worldwide. Key research themes encompass artistic expression and cultural creation, economic analyses of work and consumerism, technological impacts, as well as studies of colonial legacies, immigration patterns, and social movements.
