Scholars and learners focusing on race, ethnicity, and immigration explore diverse topics concerning historical and contemporary aspects of racial dynamics, ethnic interactions, and migration patterns. We take pride in continuing Michigan's longstanding leadership in this field, especially through demographic research and studies of racial attitudes. Our current academic endeavors investigate the circumstances and interconnections among various identity communities in the U.S. This research gains particular relevance as our nation undergoes significant shifts in social, legal, and political-economic frameworks affecting these groups and their relationships with each other and broader society. Consequently, we devote considerable focus to social justice movements and opposing forces. Many of our researchers also examine these issues internationally, analyzing how migration reshapes social dynamics for immigrants and their countries of origin and settlement. Our work frequently examines the interplay of race, class, and gender. Faculty in this specialization employ various methodologies to study different social phenomena and specific communities. While we maintain diverse theoretical approaches and research focuses, we unite in our commitment to multi-level analysis of social structures and individual agency, personal identity and cultural context, continuity and transformation. Several faculty members engage in applied research that bridges academic findings with real-world social and organizational challenges.
