Join the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race (CSER) on Thursday, March 6th at 6PM in 420 Hamilton for a discussion with Dr. Tamara Walker, Claire Tow Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Barnard College.

Dr. Walker specializes in the histories of slavery, gender, and racial formation in Latin America, their legacies in the modern era, and the theme of global Black mobility. She is the author of Exquisite Slaves: Race, Clothing, and Status in Colonial Lima (Cambridge University Press, 2017), which won the 2018 Harriet Tubman Prize from the Schomburg Center for Research on Black Culture. Her most recent book, Beyond the Shores: A History of African Americans Abroad (Crown, 2023), was a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice. She offers courses of topics such as Afro-Latin American Art, Afro-Latin American History and Culture, Slavery & Freedom in Latin America, and Black Americans Abroad.

Scholarship as Practice is a new programming series at CSER that focuses on how our academic disciplines influence and inform our lived practices. Episode Two: Travel as Extraction will feature a conversation with Dr. Walker about the ethics of tourism.
