Research centers

Established in November 1996, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) at Stanford University provides many opportunities for teaching and research on topics of race and ethnicity from both domestic and international comparative perspectives. Drawing on the intellectual interests of over one hundred Affiliated Faculty representing fifteen departments and programs and five different schools at the University, CCSRE sponsors a variety of research projects, publications, conferences, faculty and graduate student seminar series, fellowship programs, and an undergraduate major/minor in one of six areas: African and African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana/o Studies, Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and Native American Studies.

The CCSRE also sponsors the Faculty Development Initiative to promote faculty diversity.
