“I think when I'm creating my world, I'm creating an atmosphere, I'm creating an energy, I'm creating something that is more than a world. It's an idea. And I think that our world that we live in is an idea's factory.” -Elizabeth Amisu

🚨 Exciting Workshop Alert 🚨

A workshop on "Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Race" @cemskcl.bsky.social

Thursday, 6 March 2025, 14:00-17:00
Deadline for proposals: 7 February
Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Race: A Workshop King's College London Since, at least, the 1980s scholars from a range of disciplines have reinvigorated research on race, moving beyond a paradigm that considered race solely in relation to the biological sciences. By conceptualising race more broadly as a signifier structured by power, scholars working across Black Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology, and Critical Race Theory have refigured approaches to research on race. Here, Stuart Hall’s analysis of race as a “floating signifier” has proven particularly influential. Taking Hall’s scholarship as a starting point, this workshop seeks to encourage scholars working on race from a range of disciplinary perspectives to think collaboratively about their current research projects. The workshop will begin with a discussion of selected texts – we encourage attendees to relevant theoretical texts. Attendees will then present a selected source or short piece of writing from their research projects. This is an opportunity to workshop some preliminary ideas in an interdisciplinary community of scholars seeking to tackle race and racialisation from a variety of perspectives. To participate, please send a bio (max. 100 words) and a short statement explaining why the workshop will be useful to your research (max. 200 words) to jamie.gemmell@kcl.ac.uk by Friday 7th February. Feel free to suggest any relevant theoretical texts with your application. The workshop is primarily open to scholars working at King’s College London, although applications from scholars at other institutions will be considered. Please get in touch if you have any questions!
