Roots Journal

Established within The Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race (CSER), Roots is a unique space for academic and creative work directly related to the intersection of several axes of identity—namely race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and ability. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students, Roots rejects the rigid boundaries of traditional scholarship, which has historically privileged the voices of the dominant class, and welcomes the interdisciplinary creations of the larger Columbia/Barnard community. Roots, our title, speaks to our desire to anchor Ethnicity and Race scholarship—and the students who conduct it—as essential to the fabric of Columbia University.
