The U.S. Law and Race Webinar Series explores new approaches to research, teaching, and public engagement with the history of law and race in the United States. Scholars, lawyers, community members, students, and others are invited to share innovative and inspiring work that helps us understand the development of law and race in the U.S.
The series is organized by Katrina Jagodinsky, Jeannette Eileen Jones, and William G. Thomas III, faculty members in the Department of History. The trio earned Mellon Foundation funding with collaborators from the College of Law to establish the U.S. Law and Race Initiative.
