Check Out UC Berkeley Folklore's New Conversations Series

This Fall, Charles Briggs redesigned his graduate seminar at the University of California, Berkeley (entitled “Theories of Traditionality and Modernity”) in such a way as to augment its engagement with decolonial approaches by including a series of five Conversations on Racism and the Politics of Culture. The goal was to record discussions that form both an asynchronous component of the course but also—available on a YouTube channel—will be of lasting value for other instructors, students at all levels, and anyone interested in these issues. Each is associated with a unit of the course, and readings were selected in collaboration with the guest.
