Multicultural Studies Division
The mission of the Multicultural Studies Division is to provide a specific forum for addressing concerns of the relationship between historically oppressed and discriminated against BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) groups and electronic media. The division also provides a forum for discussion of issues and presentation of research on issues of portrayal, employment, entrepreneurship and the academy’s response to teaching these issues. The goals are to increase the level of awareness of the contributions and concerns of BIPOC members and other traditionally underrepresented groups; to encourage more research on topics related to BIPOC members; and to encourage electronic media curricular acknowledgment of the contributions and concerns of BIPOC members.
