University of Chicago has announced that it will be launching a new department of Race, Diaspora and Indigeneity. It was created after a voting among the university’s Department of Social Sciences where 83% of the members supported the decision. The creation of the faculty is the outcome of the years of collective work. The department will help in the better of understanding of the creation of race and its outcomes on the human species. Initially the university plans on launching an undergraduate program and then eventually adding master’s and doctoral programs in the future.
