RMS is an interdisciplinary research and teaching initiative aimed at deepening social and cultural analyses of worlds and works shaped by the colonial and transnational forces of race, migration, and sexuality.

RMS Theme
RMS seeded important work that has taken root across departments and programs in the arts and sciences. While RMS’s activities concluded in April 2022, continued funding from the dean of faculty builds on its successes by expanding opportunities for postdoctoral fellows and undergraduate students studying race, migration, and sexuality to further research and collaborate. The commitment of resources to these opportunities builds on the energy and enthusiasm expressed by RMS’s postdoctoral and undergraduate fellows.

RMS Statements
RMS STATEMENT ON ANTI-ASIAN VIOLENCE
“The disturbing rise of anti-Asian violence must be reckoned with today, while ever clarifying our historical sight and rallying us further toward political solidarity.“
RMS STATEMENT ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY
“If systematic racism is a federal crime, the White House should lead by example and investigate itself. Instead, it is sanctioning assault on critical race theory which reveals rather than covers up those crimes.”
RMS STATEMENT ON U.S. SOCIAL UNREST
“At this time of societal crises, we, the faculty members of the Dartmouth Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality want to reiterate our resolute stance against anti-Blackness and all forms of racism and xenophobia, and to urge awareness of the long history of state-authorized, unpunished killing of African American men, women, trans men and trans women that is central to the public’s current outrage.”
