How do our histories of race-making, of imperialism and enslavement, live o n in our present moment? What does it mean to excavate the historical, cu ltural, and political genealogies of race, and what does such a methodol ogy look like? This symposium explores the multi-layered and interwoven st rands of premodern racial formation. Even as it unfolds the critical genea logies that scaffold our understanding of race today, it places pressure on the intellectual and disciplinary conventions that will continue to inf orm our future.
