CONGRESS CANCELED Considering Race in the Classroom: Complicating the Narratives of Medieval Art History (A Workshop)
Description
Discussions of race and racism recently have been in the foreground of medieval studies. The field of art history in particular is founded in often racist, colonialist, and misogynist conceptions of genius or triumph. Many scholars of medieval art have sought to debunk such discourses. But the work is not done and the need for practical approaches is urgent since images are a key means through which those in power historically have exploited and subjugated the powerless. The ICMA has organized a workshop that uses tools of introspection and empathy to encourage anti-racist approaches to teaching medieval art. Nina Rowe
