Research Focus Group Discussion: Reading David Sterling Brown’s “‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era”

Please join us on Monday, October 17th, at 1 PM for a reading group discussion of David Sterling Brown’s recent article, “‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era,” and “Teaching guide for: ‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era.” Both works appeared in the 2021 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 with Brown’s phenomenal work. Please email jessicazisa@ucsb.edu or reemtaha@ucsb.edu for access to the reading or to be added to the Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group email list for future event information.
