| Description |
An interdisciplinary graduate seminar to explore the complex historiography of a vast, divergent and often controversial modern scholarship on historical constructions of race and ethnicity and on the relationship between those constructions and institutions of slavery in the "West" and in the Islamic world. Graduate students from a range of specializations and departments who want to go beyond the often heavily Eurocentric/Amerocentric focus of race/slave studies are invited to join the seminar. Final research paper required. |
