None. Stony Brook University Ethnic & African American Studies has 14 left-framed courses and not one right-framed course.

Why this number, in plain words

Counted: all courses in the group, including N and I. No interval is published for this number.

Readings are of catalog description text, not of teaching, syllabi or individual professors.
