About Transform
The School for Cultural & Social Transformation offers interdisciplinary degrees and programs in Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, Disability Studies and Pacific Islands Studies. Our academic fields explore race and racism, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and sexual identity, disability, health and global diasporas.
