Rutgers University - The Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience
The Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience is an interdisciplinary academic program for the study of ethnicity, race, and culture in modern life. It serves as a hub for the promotion of research, collegial discussion, and especially, scholarly service to the public. The Institute seeks to promote interracial and multicultural understanding through research, lectures, symposia, film, performances, exhibitions, and other programs open to the public. Since 1981, the institute has presented the annual Marion Thompson Wright Lecture Series, which has drawn thousands of citizens to Rutgers-Newark in observance of Black History Month in New Jersey. This free lecture series is a community based ritual in public scholarship that brings to the University some of the nation's foremost scholars and humanists conversant with African American and African history and culture. It has become one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious events of its kind. The director of the center is Dr. Clement Alexander Price, Board of Governors' Distinguished Professor of History.
