About Us

The Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity (CCSRE) is Stanford’s hub for interdisciplinary research and teaching on race. Through its Academic Programs and its Research Institute, the Center explores how race and ethnicity shape global history, undergird our social systems, and touch every aspect of our lives. The Center offers a vibrant calendar of public events and offers undergraduate degrees in: Asian American Studies, Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies, Comparative Studies, Jewish Studies, and Native American Studies, as well as a Ph.D. Minor. CCSRE also supports faculty networks, research publications, training, policy engagement, and public education on diverse topics including art, criminal justice, artificial intelligence, and inequality. 

Special Programs
CSRE majors have several unique opportunities available to them. The program offers students an opportunity for support of full-time paid summer research internships for those who apply to the Community Based Research Fellowship and complete a self-designed research project in collaboration with a community agency. The Public Policy Institute is a two week, pre-Autumn Quarter seminar that provides exposure to critical public policy issues. The residence-based institute provides room and board and all seminar materials for participants. CSRE also sponsors quarterly luncheons and community programs for all majors and minors, and has a number of service learning courses that couple academic work with work in communities.
