American Studies and Ethnicity

From recent social movements that force a reckoning of power relations and issues of social justice to new interpretations of the "American Dream," the USC Dornsife Department of American Studies and Ethnicity grapples with the changing and often contradictory nature of American life. Through intersecting lenses of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and religion, experts offer perspectives that shape our understanding of this country and produce scholarship that guides America toward a more just and equitable future.
