The University of California at Santa Cruz will be hosting the Mediterranean Seminar’s Spring Symposium and Workshop this week on 2-4 May 2013.

I am excited to be attending the Symposium and participating in the Workshop this year. I am presenting a pre-circulated draft chapter, entitled “‘Moors Must Not Be Taken for Black’: Islamic / French Cultural Translations Across the Early Modern Mediterranean.” This chapter is based on a shorter conference paper that I wrote several years ago.

The Mediterranean Seminar website has the program for the Spring Symposium and Workshop.
