Virtual Seminar: Black Diversities with Dr. Shelene Gomes and Alison Mc Letchie (virtual)
Date: Friday, January 31, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM EST
Location: Online via Zoom
Join CHS ASALH in supporting Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society’s third installment of the Black Diversities virtual seminar series, hosted by Dr. Shelene Gomes (University of the West Indies, St. Augustine) and Dr. Alison Mc Letchie (South Carolina State University).
This seminar will explore the theme of racial and ethnic mixing and in-betweenness, examining concepts like “Dougla” (African-South Asian) and “Hak Gwai” (African-Chinese) within the English-speaking Caribbean. Discussions will explore how these identities challenge rigid racial, linguistic, religious, and ethnic classifications.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
