DEIJ Reading Group Events & Study Sessions

As part of our department’s commitment to fostering a robust discussion of racism and white supremacy within — and at the very root of — the history of art, the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Committee has organized a series of study sessions to explore recent scholarship that addresses this issue from a cross-disciplinary perspective.

The DEIJ Committee is always happy to take suggestions for future books, book chapters, and articles that will be productive in cultivating a dialogue about the intertwined histories of art and white supremacy and offering methods of engaging with these histories in the modern moment. 

The "further reading" section featured below includes texts that were considered by the DEIJ Committee but not ultimately selected for our reading group as well as other introductory resources about race and racism in the history of art.
