The first of a three-part symposium series, this talk brings together two brilliant ethnographers who will engage with the formation, limits, and circulation of whiteness—as well as the widening wealth disparities, authoritarian regimes, and masculinist cultures that sustain it. This talk also engages with ethnography as a method and practice – an imaginative approach that brings into view the creative practices of solidarity, resistance, and political mobilization unfolding on the ground. The event will be moderated by Professor Rod Ferguson (Yale) and Professor Ana Ramos-Zayas (Yale).
