Call for Papers: Race and Racism: Beyond the Spectacular
Patrice Rankine and Sasha-Mae Eccleston will serve as guest editors of a future issue of TAPA with the theme of race, racism, and Classics (issue 153:1, to appear April 2023). Calling for contributions that analyze and critically engage phenomena which have been considered unrelated to race, have been so familiar as to remain un-critiqued as spectacular, have not yet been brought to light, or that have tended to be avoided for being too disruptive of the disciplinary status quo. Scholars from all fields, including those with similar trajectories, with research interests that dovetail with Classics, or whose work is assumed to have no relationship to race and/in the Classics are especially encouraged to submit abstracts. Full CFP found here.
Submissions should be directed to the TAPA editor at tapa@uci.edu, following the current TAPA guidelines and style sheet.
Submissions will be accepted between August 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022.
