 with moderator Nimisha Barton (Visiting Researcher, University of California, Irvine)

Join us on Tuesday, May 4th for a lively 1-hour conversation and Q&A about white supremacy in Europe. Panelists will discuss the roots of white supremacy as well as what factors have led to the rise of white nationalist movements in today’s Europe. How is white supremacy connected to anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, and xenophobia? How might scholarly examinations of white supremacy expand our understanding of the role of race, racism, and white identity in contemporary Europe? And why the reticence to name white supremacy in a European context as compared to an American one? Zoom link: https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/92865311972
