The CRACS Co-Lab is a collective feminist intellectual hub for faculty and graduate students whose research focuses on global colonial and racial power and anti-colonial, anti-racist, and anti-caste transformation. The Co-Lab hosts conversations, experimentations, explorations oriented towards a global approach to questions of colonial and racial subjugation. Moving beyond the confines of Areas Studies and U.S. Ethnic Studies paradigms, our Co-Lab supports critical interventions that attend to the inseparability between racial-ethnic and caste subjugation nationally, regionally and globally across historic and contemporary geopolitical configurations of colonial subjugation. 

The CRACS Co-lab is supported by the Departments of Spanish & Portuguese and Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.
