The Ethnic Studies Council

The Ethnic Studies Council at the University of California is a collaborative forum for addressing the varied needs on each campus — both those with fully established as well as those in the process of developing new ethnic studies programs and curricula. Membership is available to all UC faculty currently teaching in UC Ethnic Studies departments or units.

The Ethnic Studies Council at UC is an alliance of all Ethnic Studies discipline focused departments, programs, and faculty across our 10 campuses.
