Faculty Book Talk: The Material World of Modern Segregation

Wednesday, April 27, 2022 | 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Umrath Lounge
Umrath Hall, St. Louis, MO 63130

Join us for a panel discussion by essay contributors to “The Material World of Modern Segregation: St. Louis in the Long Era of Ferguson.” The collection (forthcoming in the Common Reader: A Journal of the Essay, 2022) stems from a conference by that name in spring 2017, involving leading scholars on race, segregation and urban space and experience from in and outside Washington University. The collection of essays is co-edited by Heidi Kolk (Sam Fox School) and Iver Bernstein (History, AFAS, and American Culture Studies).

This event is taking place in Umrath Hall, and will also be livestreamed and recorded for virtual viewing. Doors will open at 4pm. Virtual attendees are encouraged to register as well to receive a reminder and link to the livestream to your inbox.
