Welcome to the web site for Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts. Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts is a peer-reviewed journal jointly produced through The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at The Ohio State University.  The mission of the journal is to present key insights about the often-complex operations of race and ethnicity throughout the world with particular attention to dynamics shaping the experiences of racially marginalized people and communities.  As our title suggests, it is our hope that each issue of the journal crosses boundaries of discipline, geography, and theory and practice:

 

Multidisciplinary 
Race/Ethnicity offers a wide range of robust analyses and grounded reflections from across scholarly disciplines and diverse fields of practice. 

Global
Race/Ethnicity seeks to deepen and expand conversations on race and ethnicity by inviting research, insights, and accounts of experiences from around the world.. 

Multi-Contextual 
Race/Ethnicity acknowledges and embraces multiple ways of knowing by embracing perspectives produced within practitioner, activist, academic, creative, and other contexts.

 

We invite both academics and practitioners to add their insights and observations to our rich and expanding conversation.  Some people will meet our invitation to practitioners – by which we mean advocates, grassroots activists, policymakers, teachers, business people, community members, creative writers and others – with skepticism. Please be assured, however, that the invitation is a sincere one. In our view, a dialogue about race and ethnicity in the contemporary world that does not attract the voices of practitioners – and speak to their concerns – is necessarily impoverished.
