Join us for a workshop with Noémie Ndiaye, Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Chicago, focusing on early modern English, French, and Spanish theater with an emphasis on race. Her monograph, Scripts of Blackness: Early Modern Performance Culture and the Making of Race (2022), explores how performance culture shaped the racialization of Blackness across Western Europe. Ndiaye's work has won numerous awards, including the 2023 Bevington Award and the 2023 Rose Mary Crawshay Prize.

The workshop will be conducted in English, and pre-circulated readings are available upon request from Chloé Hogg at hoggca@pitt.edu.
