CSER Newsletter - Volume One
We knew that it was time for action when the question of "how are things going at the Center?" produced exceedingly long answers. So, we took the next logical step and created the first Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race's (CSER) newsletter, a biannual publication to report on the Center's happenings and conversations.
