Join Mari Sanchez to compare how "non-white meta-categories" - terms such as “People of Color” (POC) and “Black and Minority Ethnic” (BME) - are used in the U.S. and the UK. By analyzing public discussions about these terms and interviewing activists, intellectuals, and other public figures in each country, Sanchez explores how these terms have been used since the 1960s and argues that that "non-white meta-categories" shape assumptions about the commonalities and differences of marginalized communities, illuminate certain racial inequalities while obscuring others, and inform pathways to achieve interracial solidarity and racial justice.
The Graduate Student Research Workshop is a seminar for graduate students at Harvard University and MIT to present their research to peers and faculty with an interest in European studies. This student-run, student-centered workshop welcomes presenters at any stage of their research from any social science discipline.
To join the seminar mailing list, please contact the seminar chairs. Papers will be distributed to participants via email in advance, and the schedule of upcoming workshops will be updated here throughout the academic year.
