The History of Race and the Ideology of Superiority

January 26, 2010 by admin 

Join us for a presentation and discussion entitled “The History of Race and the Ideology of Superiority.”

On Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Student Center Virginia Room, sociology professor Dr. Casey Welch and communication professor Dr. Kristine Warrenburg will give short presentations on how the idea of race emerged and changed over the course of history. Following the presentations, the event will open up into a discussion on the many facets of race. Depending on direction of the conversation, we may cover historical measures of race, legal definitions of race, and the effects of race on both minority and majority groups.

This event is free and open to the public. Students and faculty are encouraged to attend.

This is the second of a six-part series, “Commemorating Dr. King and Celebrating Black History Month.” Events will be held on the next five Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Ringhaver Student Center. Announcements will be sent for each forthcoming event. All events are co-sponsored by Dr. Welch, Student Activities and the Ringhaver Student Center.

If you have any questions, please contact Casey Welch at (904) 826-8544 or Grant Nielson at (904) 819-6365.
