Professor John Stuhr and Mark Fagiano (ABD) have been selected to participate in Emory's 2011 Gustafson Seminar on "The 'Realities' of Race."  This annual interdisciplinary opportunity for Emory faculty and graduate students, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, will involve shared readings, regular meetings, and external speakers to explore what is both “real” and “unreal” about race, and why it is important to direct renewed attention to the subject of race at a time when it often is alleged that race no longer matters or that the USA has entered a "post-racial" period.
