A Call for Conference Papers: History Students Association SF State University, San Francisco, 13 April 2019
Minorities and the Other: Existence and Resistance from Antiquity to Modernity
The History Students Association at San Francisco State University invites you to our Annual Interdisciplinary Conference to be held at the SF State Campus on April 13, 2019.
The theme for the 2019 Conference will be “Minorities and the Other: Existence and Resistance from Antiquity to Modernity.” How have politically, socially, and/or economically marginalized communities resisted oppression in its many forms? How do marginalized communities retain their personal identities in the midst of social alienation? What historical patterns of “othering” can we observe as historians, humans, and social scientists? How has race been constructed historically, and for what purpose? How has race/ ethnicity played a role in the social, political, and economic marginalization of groups of people? How have social, economic and political institutions operated to concentrate power into the hands of a single ethnic or racial group? What historical framework can we use to further our understanding of the contemporary resurgence of ethnic nationalism? What factors have historically contributed to tensions between different ethnic or racial groups? How has racism, ableism, classism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and other prejudices contributed to the marginalization of certain communities?
