FACULTY LECTURE SERIES
2005-6 Theme: New Face of "Race"?
The 2005-6 Faculty Lecture Series will
focus on new formations of "race" in contemporary United States and
in the world at large. How have experiences and understandings of
"race" been reshaped by 21st-century phenomena like the
neo-liberalization of world economies, the acceleration of labor
migrations, new media technologies (e.g. the world wide web), new
scientific paradigms (e.g. the genomic revolution)? Amidst all that
is - or seems - new in our world, what old patterns of racial
thinking and racist practices persist? For more information about
the series, please contact Christina
