Embrace the history of resistance and intersectionality at SF State — take Race and Resistance Studies online courses this summer. Open University welcomes the community to take space-available classes without formal admission to SF State.

Race and Resistance Studies

Part of the College of Ethnic Studies, born from the historic 1968 Black Student Union/Third World Liberation Front Student Strike, Race and Resistance Studies prepares students to think critically, nurture a social consciousness, actively engage with and respond to community needs and develop leadership skills, while deepening a foundation of knowledge related to the multiple histories and cultures of communities of color within and outside the United States. To do so, Race and Resistance Studies utilizes an approach that is comparative/relational, interdisciplinary, intersectional and centered in a praxis of resistance.
