Emerging Scholars in Premodern Critical Race Studies - Panel 6
This virtual symposium will highlight the research of emerging scholars working on race and race-making before 1800. Speakers will include graduate students and early career scholars from a variety of disciplines who will share their work on the development and influence of race from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, and explore how their research can inform our experience of race in the present.
