Race
The RACE WORKSHOP is an intellectual community of scholars interested in all facets of race scholarship. We meet weekly for a variety of events that include presentations by local and national figures, presentations by postdocs and graduate students, discussions of new books or relevant articles, discussions on the racial components of cultural artifacts such as movies, TV shows, or art, and discussions on how race matters in the academy. Please consult our "events" section for a more detailed listing of events this semester. This workshop is supported by the Sociology department, the African and African American Studies department, the College of Arts and Sciences, and SSRI. To sign up for the mailing list, click here.
