The School of Art, Art History and Design is hosting a Zoom panel titled “Whose Renaissance?: Re-Imagining the Early Modern World in the Age of White Supremacy,” 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 29.
The panel’s two speakers, Stephennie Mulder, associate professor of art history at the University of Texas at Austin, and Nicholas R. Jones, assistant professor of Spanish at Bucknell University, will address white supremacist frameworks, both inside and outside the academy, that credit western Europe with virtually all early modern innovations. Spanning from the Vikings to the Spanish Caribbean, from the 9th century to Twitter wars of the present day, the talks situate the Renaissance, and the idea of early modernity in general, at the center of contemporary conversations about history and cultural patrimony.
The event will be moderated by Nebraska’s Katie Anania, assistant professor of art history.
