The next Social Justice Research Lunch Series will feature a talk by Gillian Weiss, associate professor of history.
In her collaborative book project, Weiss explores the role of forced labor in maritime art produced and displayed in 17th-century France. Her talk will consider how revealing the historical presence of Muslims and the persistence of slavery reverberates in current debates about Islam, immigration, integration and citizenship.
Titled “Forced Labor and Maritime Art: Finding Slaves in Seventeenth-Century France,” the lecture will be held Tuesday, Feb. 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Crawford Hall, Room A13.
