Brownbag Lectures: Are We So Different? Teaching About "Race" in an Anthropology Class
- Location: ISM Research & Collections Center, Springfield
- Date: Wednesday, May 07, 2014, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Presented by Dr. Lynn Fisher Adjunct Research Associate, Anthropology, Illinois State Museum Associate Professor, Sociology/Anthropology Department University of Illinois at Springfield
This presentation discusses insights from two decades of teaching about misconceptions associated with "race" in college anthropology courses. Dr. Fisher draws on the long history of anthropological critiques of racialized biology and the recent educational program of the American Anthropological Association ("RACE - Are We So Different?") to challenge some persistent ideas about human variation.
