Ethnic and Racial Studies, MPhil

About Ethnic and Racial Studies, MPhil - at Trinity College Dublin

The innovative MPhil in Ethnic and Racial Studies offers specialist theoretical and practical training in issues relating to 'race', ethnicity and racism in Irish, European and global contexts. The programme is well placed in Ireland, where ethnic conflicts have been central to the construction of Irish identities.

Although Ireland, traditionally a country of out migration, is increasingly an immigration destination, indigenous ethnic minorities, such as Travellers, black-Irish people and Jews, have a history of racialisation in the Irish context, despite the fact that only recently has racism become part of the political agenda with the arrival of a small number of asylum seekers and refugees since the early 1990s.

The MPhil is run by the Department of Sociology whose staff have expertise in sociology, social policy and anthropology and an extensive publishing and research record in these areas.

Upon successful completion, this full-time programme grants students a postgraduate degree of Master of Philosophy in Ethnic and Racial Studies.
