About EMR The secondary field in Ethnicity, Migration, Rights (EMR) offers students an opportunity to pursue sustained, interdisciplinary study of ethnicity, migration, indigeneity, and human rights with particular attention to Asian American and Pacific Islander, Latinx, and Native American topics. Courses in EMR are taught by faculty from across the disciplines in FAS, as well as at other Harvard schools, and draw on materials from the humanities and social sciences.
Study in EMR allows students to explore our core areas from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students who decide to pursue the secondary field can choose from a wide range of courses under the guidance of the Administrative and Program Director and members of the Faculty Advisory Committee.
Given the relevance of EMR topics to both local and global issues, the secondary field both encourages and provides opportunities for interacting directly with local communities and working outside the traditional classroom.
EMR offers two secondary field pathways in 1) Ethnicity, Migration, Rights, and 2) Latinx Studies. For more information about the requirements for the Secondary Fields: • See page 27 of this booklet. • Visit our website at https://emr.fas.harvard.edu/secondary. • Contact us via email at [email protected].
EMR also hosts three academic working groups to bring undergraduate and graduate students together with faculty to discuss current issues in Asian American and Pacific Islander, Latinx, and Muslim American studies. To learn more, visit our website or contact the groups directly: • Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies Working Group: aaswg@fas. harvard.edu • Latinx Studies Working Group: [email protected] • Muslim American Studies Working Group: [email protected] Ethnic Studies Concentration For more information on pursuing a concentration in Ethnic Studies through the Committee on Degrees in History & Literature, please visit https://histlit. fas.harvard.edu/ethnic-studies. For advising, please contact Lauren Kaminsky ([email protected]), Director of Studies, or Angela Allan (allan@fas. harvard.edu) Assistant Director of Studies.

26 Additional Information
Schedule a Conversation Contact Eleanor Craig, Administrative and Program Director at eleanor_craig@fas. harvard.edu to setup an initial advising meeting to discuss your plan of study. Declare Your Secondary Students will be able to declare intent to pursue a secondary field in my.harvard. This should be done as soon as a student decides to work on a secondary field in EMR or Latinx Studies. Students should meet regularly with the Administrative and Program Director to discuss secondary field plans and progress. Ethnicity, Migration, Rights Secondary Pathway • Take five approved courses (20 credits). • One course must be a Portal Course. • One course must be taught from a transnational or global perspective. • Two courses must be above introductory level. Latinx Studies Secondary Pathway (Listed as "Latino Studies" in my.harvard) • Take five approved courses (20 credits). • One course must be a Portal Course. • Three elective courses must be in Latinx Studies.Though students are encouraged to focus primarily on courses in Latinx Studies, when it makes sense in a plan of study students can take up to two courses in Latin American studies. • One course must be a comparative course taken from the EMR list outside of Latinx Studies. Comparative courses should consider study of ethnicity and culture from another perspective, which may include the study of another ethnic group within the United States or another globally comparative framework. Additional Stipulations • All courses must be passed with B- or above. • One course may be taken Pass/Fail, often this is a freshman seminar. • One course may be double-counted with a concentration field. • Study abroad and other Harvard courses may require approval by the Administrative and Program Director.

The Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights (EMR) awards at least one summer grant to assist a Harvard junior with research for a senior honors thesis related to Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies. The department(s) in which the thesis will be written is open. Applicants may be pursuing Ethnic Studies under History and Literature or in an EMR secondary field, but neither is a requirement. Projects may be ethnographic, empirical, creative, historical, or theoretical and may deal with persons or groups with ancestry connected to any area of Asia or Pacific Islands. Likewise, ‘American’ need not be limited to U.S. contexts. Grantees must spend a minimum of six weeks engaged in research activities. Special consideration will be given to projects for which there are fewer sources of funding offered through other campus entities (e.g., projects requiring domestic travel).
For more information, please visit our website at http://bit.ly/EMRGrants in advance of these deadlines. To apply for a summer thesis grant, students must complete a CARAT application.
Senior Thesis Prize in Ethnicity, Migration, Rights Deadline: April 14, 2021 We award an annual prize to recognize an outstanding senior thesis written on an EMR- related topic. This includes, but is not limited to, theses written in Native American, Latinx, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies. Theses are evaluated by EMR faculty for their originality, clarity, thoroughness, and strength of argument. Thesis writers are encouraged to approach their faculty advisors or department heads to seek nomination.
