It is especially aimed at audience members with an interest in American history, racism studies, ethnicity, cultural studies, and sociology.
Matthew W. Hughey is Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut. He is a 2022 Fulbright Scholar at the University of Surrey and was a 2019 Gambrinus Fellow at TU Dortmund. Hughey’s research focuses on the relationship between the heterogeneous interpretations of race and the long-term staying power of racism and racial inequality. He has authored over eighty articles and nine books, including the award-winning ethnography "White Bound: Nationalists, Antiracists, and the Shared Meanings of Race (Stanford University Press 2012)".
There is no charge to attend the guest lecture. In addition, no prior registration is required.
