Please join us Monday (Oct 17th) from 1-2pm in SH2635 for the IHC “Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender” Research Focus Group’s first event of the year. We’ll be meeting to discuss David Sterling Brown’s recently published “‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era” and the accompanying “Teaching guide for: ‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era” (email jessicazisa@ucsb.edu for copies of the readings). Both appeared in a recent special issue of Literature Compass, “Race Before Race: Premodern Critical Race Studies,” edited by Dorothy Kim. As the first Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender RFG event of the new academic year, we will begin by continuing last year’s conversations on un-disciplining and re-disciplining premodern studies with Brown’s phenomenal work. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided.
