92-1 Racial and Ethnic Studies and International Perspectives: Confronting Silos in Diversity Curriculum for Honors
Lopamudra Basu, University of Wisconsin-Stout

This separation poses unique challenges while designing honors courses which study transnational developments like the racialization of Arab and Muslim Americans after 9/11.
