Race, Migration, & Kinship
How might we think about race as a paradoxically fungible yet persistent feature of human history? This mini-seminar examines race as a global phenomenon with long and diverse histories.

Deadline for registration: 8 August 2014
Our class will begin with a conventional genealogy of race as arising from the age of Atlantic Revolutions, the slave trade, and scientific thinking in Europe and the United States before complicating our understandings of the phenomenon as one shaped over centuries of contact and interchange. Our second session will examine a longer history of race and caste in relation to Iberian colonization of the East and West Indies and our third session will investigate race and the littoral in Indian Ocean studies.

The course invites PhD candidates, but is also open to master students. Participation without essay will give 3 ECTS credits. Participation and essay will give 5 ECTS credits.


The course is free, but participants will have to arrange and pay for the travel and accommodation themselves.
