PULLMAN, Wash. — Students at Washington State University who conduct research in the area of ethnic studies have a new electronic tool.
David J. Leonard, assistant professor in comparative ethnic studies, has spent months gathering links to credible research sites associated with the topic.
“We found that our students are increasingly utilizing the Internet as the basis of this research,” he said. “While we will continue to push our students to utilize the available resources at Holland Library, we see a need in providing the campus community a centralized location to find and secure research on the Web.”
The site topics include history; the Civil Rights movement; demographics; race and the West; community organizing; race, culture and power; globalization; popular culture; ethnic studies and pedagogy; and theory. In all, there are close to 100 links.
“While the site is designed for the student community,” Leonard said, “we are hoping that faculty, staff and the wide community interested in issues of diversity, ethnic studies, Washington history, popular culture and global issues will take advantage of this resource.”
The new CES resource page can be viewed at https://libarts.wsu.edu/cac/links.html.
