The Graduate Certificate in Public Critical Race Scholarship has a project- and portfolio-based curriculum that enables graduate students to integrate their intellectual, political, and professional interests through engagement with diverse publics. Together, the certificate’s students, faculty, and community partners generate new forms of culture, knowledge, and expression; re-envision the ends and means of higher education; and open professional pathways inside and outside the academy. The certificate is sponsored by the Center for Communication, Difference, and Equity in the Department of Communication, and is supported in part by the Simpson Center for the Humanities.
