Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies

Description

The Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies (CERS) is an interdisciplinary research centre at the University of Leeds. It was founded in 1998. The centre was built on the success of the Race and Public Policy Unit, an internal grouping within the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds. It has a long established international reputation for theoretically-informed and policy-relevant research on racism, ethnicity and migration.

The centre engages the fields of race and ethnicity, decoloniality, migration and diaspora in a conversation in order to identify and unpack current trends in the global and political order, and thus enable members to contribute to better and more adequate understandings of the globalised world. The centre's research identifies and examines, amongst many others, historical and existing racial and ethnic inequalities, social injustices, racism, discrimination, coloniality, Islamophobia, ethno-centrism, anti-migrancy, xenophobia, as well as movements and ideas which challenge these.
