“Race and Its Historiographies in Medieval Iberian Studies”
Associated to the 2020 Seattle MLA roundtable on the topic (below). Presentations are invited that discuss any of the questions below:

- What can this long history of race/racialization in Medieval Iberian Studies offer to core areas of Medieval Studies which have veered toward the concerns above?
- Seen from the perspective of Medieval Iberian Studies, what differences need to be taken into account for these core fields to have a productive discussion that effectively addresses the diversity of the topic in time and place?
Selected papers on “Race and Its Historiographies” will be considered for a Special Issue ofLa corónica. Please feel free to contact Nadia Altschul with any questions you may have.
