Friday, November 1, 2024

CRS is pleased to announce the latest conversation in our Race and Dialogue series.
In this conversation, Profs. Gallant and Kaplan discuss the current state of this expanding field, in which new voices and interdisciplinary perspectives have enriched scholarly discourse. Among the topics to be raised are arguments about the relevance of the concepts of race and racism in this era, the impact of slavery on visual imagery, the historical presence of Black Africans in Europe (specifically Italy); and the use of the important Image of the Black in Western Art database.
