Deadline for Submissions: Tuesday, January 31st 2023
Join the UM Study of Race and Racism Exploration Group for the second annual
Faculty and Graduate Student Forum on Race & Ethnicity
Date: Monday, February 27th, 8:30am-3pm, Triplett Alumni Center, Butler Auditorium
The Exploration Group invites University of Mississippi faculty as well as graduate students to take part in a cross-disciplinary conversation about research related to the study of race and ethnicity, broadly stated, in the United States and abroad. Faculty and students from all levels of study and from all campuses and schools at the University of Mississippi—including Law, Education, Journalism, Medicine, Business, Applied Sciences, and Liberal Arts—are welcome! This event is part of the Exploration Group’s ongoing initiative to promote interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration across the university.
Participants may join a panel discussion or poster presentation. Panelists will give a 5-7 minute presentation of their work. Poster presentations will be informal and will close out the day. Formal papers and PowerPoints are not necessary for participation! We especially encourage submissions highlighting research about health, migration, law, the environment, politics, inequalities, and identity.
SHARE your research and receive feedback on ideas connected to an article, dissertation proposal, chapter, or other project in a casual and supportive environment.
MEET other University of Mississippi faculty and graduate students across schools, disciplines, and departments working on subjects related to race and ethnicity in different parts of the world. Each panel will be followed by informal, cross-disciplinary dialogues exploring future directions for research.
