A few years back I taught  2 race specific courses (originally developed by Barnor Hesse) at the University of East London in the Sociology Dept. However, neither really fits under the rubric of 'racial and ethnic relations'.
They were Constructions of Race in Social & Cultural Theory (also previously called Constructions of Race in Culture & Politics) and African Diaspora Theory.  I am not sure if either is still being offered or preplaced with anything else, or if their fate has anything to do with current cuts. Would be good to know.

How are the cuts affecting ethnic and racial studies?



A few years ago Warwick was seen as the lead university for the study of ethnic and racial relations.  Is that view still tenable, or has the lead moved to the University of Manchester with its investment in survey research? There is an upcoming REF.  Can we, should we, make representations about the effects of the cuts upon teaching and research in our field? Can someone at Warwick tell us about the current situation in their university?



My impression is that the University of Sussex has a strong position in the study of migration and good links with researchers in continental Europe, partly through IMISCOE and the editorship of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. They have a strong input from geography. At Bristol the focus is now on multiculturalism approached from the perspective of political philosophy rather than from survey research such as is favoured in some centres in the Netherlands and Germany.



Which universities have centres specialising in our field? According to the University of Leeds website there is a Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies, but I draw a blank when I try to ascertain whether it is still functioning.  Of course, the existence or non-existence of a named centre may not be important. There are staff at London Metropolitan and the University of East London who research, and probably teach, on ethnic and racial relations. At City University there is a major specialisation that, to me, appears to concentrate on questions of immigration, asylum and the like.  At LSE and Goldsmiths, most sociology staff favour the cultural studies perspective.  Oxford University advertised not long ago for a lecturer to specialise on the study of ethnic relations; how is that initiative coming along?



In Scotland, there is an active interest at the University of Glasgow.  At Edinburgh, where this branch of sociology first got started, it features no longer. There are other universities, I know, where staff members have earlier been very active in research and teaching but some of them have now retired and I do not know whether their interests have been maintained.



In these circumstances I suggest that the Race Forum could be used for the exchange of information. It would be interesting to hear in which universities there are currently undergraduate courses specifically on ethnic and racial studies, and even more interesting to hear where there are specialist masters courses: how many students? On what subjects are they writing dissertations?



Above all, it would be valuable to hear about PhD students, their numbers and funding. Many of them, I suspect, would like to know if there are PhD candidates elsewhere writing dissertations on topics related to their own research.

Dear Michael,



Many thanks for the update regarding ethnic and racial studies.



At the University of Northampton we teach the above but as part of
various modules.  So the good news is that it is alive and well here.



However, it makes concerned reading regarding its sustainment at other
universities.  Yes, it would be good to receive a holistic overview of
where it is, and not - if was, being taught, and what is replacing it
and why?



I hope we can establish a thread from herein.



Nikki

Very interesting material appearing here already.  Thanks to Michael for starting it off.  Re Leeds Uni, that Centre does exist (Ian Law and Bobby Sayyid come to mind) but I think they concentrate on research.  I think there is some teaching in race/racism in the sociology dept.  When I retired from Leeds Met, and when Dr Carl Hylton's life there was made intolerable, teaching on race issues disappeared in social sciences, so far as I can see.  Please correct me on this if you can, anyone.  There's an active centre at Cardiff for the study of migration (Dr Sophie Gilliat-Ray).  From my work with the Islamic Studies Network it seems that there is some social science work on Islam/Muslims going on in some anthropology departments, some in international relations/politics, quite a lot in religious studies, and almost nothing in sociology.  But that might be that sociologists don't reply to emails.  "Sociology of race relations" was always marginal; surely it cannot now "beyond the pale"?  Has it simply migrated?

How are the cuts affecting ethnic and racial studies?

A few years ago Warwick was seen as the lead university for the study of ethnic and racial relations.  Is that view still tenable, or has the lead moved to the University of Manchester with its investment in survey research? There is an upcoming REF.  Can we, should we, make representations about the effects of the cuts upon teaching and research in our field? Can someone at Warwick tell us about the current situation in their university?

My impression is that the University of Sussex has a strong position in the study of migration and good links with researchers in continental Europe, partly through IMISCOE and the editorship of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. They have a strong input from geography. At Bristol the focus is now on multiculturalism approached from the perspective of political philosophy rather than from survey research such as is favoured in some centres in the Netherlands and Germany.

Which universities have centres specialising in our field? According to the University of Leeds website there is a Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies, but I draw a blank when I try to ascertain whether it is still functioning.  Of course, the existence or non-existence of a named centre may not be important. There are staff at London Metropolitan and the University of East London who research, and probably teach, on ethnic and racial relations. At City University there is a major specialisation that, to me, appears to concentrate on questions of immigration, asylum and the like.  At LSE and Goldsmiths, most sociology staff favour the cultural studies perspective.  Oxford University advertised not long ago for a lecturer to specialise on the study of ethnic relations; how is that initiative coming along?

In Scotland, there is an active interest at the University of Glasgow.  At Edinburgh, where this branch of sociology first got started, it features no longer. There are other universities, I know, where staff members have earlier been very active in research and teaching but some of them have now retired and I do not know whether their interests have been maintained.

In these circumstances I suggest that the Race Forum could be used for the exchange of information. It would be interesting to hear in which universities there are currently undergraduate courses specifically on ethnic and racial studies, and even more interesting to hear where there are specialist masters courses: how many students? On what subjects are they writing dissertations?

Above all, it would be valuable to hear about PhD students, their numbers and funding. Many of them, I suspect, would like to know if there are PhD candidates elsewhere writing dissertations on topics related to their own research.

Don't forget that race is also taught in various departments other than sociology. Here at York, for instance, it is taught in the history and English departments, largely in courses on (post) colonialism.

You’re right – ‘ethnic and racial’ studies were always marginal in the
academy.  Can we really talk about the effect of the cuts without looking at
the overall position of race equality in universities?   Where are the Black
(and I use this term in its widest political sense) staff?  What’s the
outcome for Black students?   For the past ten years universities were
supposed to operate with due regard to their public sector race equality
duties.  How many courses have been race equality impact assessed?  How many
courses, other than specialised race/ethnic ones, explicitly address issues
of race?    To judge by my children’s experiences of under- and postgraduate
sociology courses at three separate universities, I would say very rarely.
Too late now because we have a weaker Equality Act which does not bode well
for obliging universities to pursue race in their everyday work.



Let’s look at the cuts and their effects on ‘specialised’ courses and/or
centres of study, but let’s not divorce that from the wider context of race
equality in universities.

Very interesting material appearing here already.  Thanks to Michael for
starting it off.  Re Leeds Uni, that Centre does exist (Ian Law and Bobby
Sayyid come to mind) but I think they concentrate on research.  I think
there is some teaching in race/racism in the sociology dept.  When I retired
from Leeds Met, and when Dr Carl Hylton's life there was made intolerable,
teaching on race issues disappeared in social sciences, so far as I can see.
Please correct me on this if you can, anyone.  There's an active centre at
Cardiff for the study of migration (Dr Sophie Gilliat-Ray).  From my work
with the Islamic Studies Network it seems that there is some social science
work on Islam/Muslims going on in some anthropology departments, some in
international relations/politics, quite a lot in religious studies, and
almost nothing in sociology.  But that might be that sociologists don't
reply to emails.  "Sociology of race relations" was always marginal; surely
it cannot now "beyond the pale"?  Has it simply migrated?

Dear Michael,



Many thanks for the update regarding ethnic and racial studies.



At the University of Northampton we teach the above but as part of various
modules.  So the good news is that it is alive and well here.



However, it makes concerned reading regarding its sustainment at other
universities.  Yes, it would be good to receive a holistic overview of where
it is, and not – if was, being taught, and what is replacing it and why?



I hope we can establish a thread from herein.



Nikki

Yes, great to see this debate taking off.

CERS at Leeds is very much alive and well, see link below for full info (unfortunately Michael used an out of date link on the Leeds Uni website).
At its heart is a Sociology and Social Policy team of 8/9 staff with a wider university network of 50+ research active staff spread widely across different schools at Leeds.
Our core team have produced 10 books in the last five years and have involvement in two major EUFP7 projects, and two global networks in this field.
We also have a blog 'The Culture Craft' and produced an antiracist toolkit for the University sector which can all be accessed throught the centre website.
I am please to say that ethnicity and racism studies is taught at every level from Foundation through to MA/PhD, and we have a specific MA programme in racism and ethnicity studies which is integrated with our suite of MA programmes. MA dissertations have included work such as explaining racist violence, racism in Tibet and indigeneity discourse and the BNP.

Although our research output is highly varied working across a range of disciplinary intersections a key intellectual agenda for us is to keep a central focus on racism and patterns of global racialisation.
