Middlebury College Center for the Comparative Study of Race and 
Ethnicity

The Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) 
aims to foster research and teaching on race and ethnicity in the 
U.S. and beyond. The center is committed to interdisciplinary and 
comparative approaches for understanding formations of race and 
ethnicity and their effects on human relations. It encourages 
scholarship that considers race and ethnicity as intersecting with 
topics such as class, gender, sexuality, religion, and migration and 
that situates these discussions in a transnational context.

The center draws on the intellectual interests of faculty on campus 
to sponsor symposia, lectures, research projects, seminars, 
performances, and other activities. It functions as a space for 
fostering and promoting academic dialogues around issues of diversity 
and social justice.
