OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 University of Mississippi<\/a> faculty and graduate students will share their research on race and ethnicity in a Feb. 27 forum.<\/p>\n

This event begins with breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and the first panel will begin at 9 a.m. in the Butler Auditorium of the Triplett Alumni Center. The goal of the forum is to bring UM faculty and graduate students together as a community to learn about and discuss research on race and ethnicity that’s being done at Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

“With over a total of 25 submissions, we got an overwhelming\u202fresponse to the call for proposals,” said Simone Delerme, McMullan associate professor of anthropology and Southern studies. Delerme is coordinating the event alongside Marcos Mendoza, associate professor of anthropology, and Catarina Passidomo, Southern Foodways Alliance associate professor of Southern studies and anthropology.<\/p>\n

“We have graduate students and faculty representing the law school; (departments of) Sociology, Southern Studies, History, Leadership and Counselor Education, English, Social Work, and Modern Languages; the Center for Community Engagement; and the School of Journalism and New Media. We were really excited to receive some proposals from very impressive folks from units that didn’t present last year.”<\/p>\n
