Geschiedenis
Founded in 1991, the Race and Ethnic Studies Institute (RESI) was established to highlight Texas A&M University's strengths and academic leadership in research relating to the study of race and ethnicity and their various dimensions (e.g., intersections with class, gender, and sexuality; past, present, and future relevance to issues of education, immigration, politics, culture, and health).
RESI was founded by Dr. Gail E. Thomas (1991-98) and Dr. Mitchell F. Rice (1999-2004). Dr. Thomas is Professor of Sociology, Soka University of America, Aliso Viejo, California and Dr. Rice is currently Professor of Political Science in the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University. In 2006 Dr. Joseph Jewell was named interim director until his departure in 2008. RESI current interim director is Dr. Sarah N. Gatson, Associate Professor in Sociology.
