The Senior Research Symposium is a crucial component of the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race academic experience, which seeks to generate innovative thinking about race, ethnicity, indigeneity, and other categories of difference in order to better understand their role and impact in modern societies. The research symposium showcases thesis projects by seniors in the major as they attempt to understand how a wide variety of communities maintain cultural and political links within shifting national and international dynamics of race and citizenship. The symposium offers CSER honor students an opportunity to share and receive feedback on their original research. This event also enables students the chance to hone their oral presentation skills in order to supplement their analytical projects they have been exploring over the course of the last academic year.

We extend a warm invitation to students and faculty across Columbia University and affiliated schools to participate in this dynamic, multidisciplinary conference. For decades, Pan-Africanist dialogue across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas has shaped the intellectual foundation for unity and progress. This student-centered mini-conference builds on that tradition, convening students and faculty in interdisciplinary exchanges on the intersections of education and Pan-Africanism.
We are currently inviting students to present their research and/or volunteer for conference support.

Join the Columbia University Department of History Board of Visitors to watch and talk about THE GRADUATE (1968), which helped to usher in the ‘New Hollywood,’ an era of filmmaking increasingly geared toward a youthful American audience rocked by social change. College students drove the success of THE GRADUATE and other films of New Hollywood that became touchstones for the Boomer generation coming of age. With Professor Hilary Hallett, we will discuss how THE GRADUATE and other films of 1968 broke new representational ground and what they have to teach about that moment in the history of Hollywood and the United States.
Please RSVP here.
