Discussing Chapter 2 of Geraldine Heng's "The Invention of Race in the European Middle Ages," SJ Pearce's review essay of the book, and Heng's response to the review.

Co-organized by Anna Wilson (Dept. of English) and Rachel Love (Dept. of Classics), this seminar meets every other Monday to discuss pre-circulated readings on race and critical race studies in the premodern world. This semester we have an exciting line-up of guest speakers, including Jackie Murray, Adam Miyashiro, and Nandini Pandey, and we will be tackling issues ranging from the myth of 'Western Civ' to teaching indigeneity.
