The Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library is hosting a series of discussions on Race in Dialogue, which focuses on critical race studies in the humanities.

Graduate students in HIST 522 Early Modern Europe at Northern Illinois University will be particularly interested in the first discussion in the series on Kim F. Hall’s Things of Darkness.

Here is the announcement from the Center for Renaissance Studies:

Things of Darkness: Economies of Race and Gender in Early Modern England at 25

CRS is pleased to announce the first session of Race in Dialogue, a new series of virtual conversations on premodern critical race studies and Indigenous studies.
