The Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights (EMR) is a standing committee in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. EMR Secondary Fields offer students an opportunity to pursue sustained, interdisciplinary study of ethnicity, migration, Indigeneity, and human rights, with particular attention to Asian American and Pacific Islander, Latinx, and Native American topics. EMR also hosts four academic working groups: the Asian American & Pacific Islander Studies Working Group (AAPISWG), the Latinx Studies Working Group (LSWG), the Muslim American Studies Working Group (MASWG), and the Dissertation Working Group (DWG).
EMR is a vibrant community on campus including faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduates. The Committee hosts events, publishes a cross-listed “Courses that Count” list, offers student research grants with mentorship opportunities, and has a growing contingent of secondary concentrators.
Study in EMR allows students to explore our core areas from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students who choose to pursue the secondary field can choose from a wide range of courses under the guidance of the Administrative and Program Director and members of the Faculty Advisory Committee.
