Unfreedom Reading Group with Hannah Barker, Part 2
The Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies invites you to participate in a reading group on the topic of Unfreedom, organized in anticipation of our 2020 annual conference.
At our second meeting on Nov. 21, we will discuss the intersections of unfreedom, race, and gender which have occupied the attention of our plenary speakers, Jennifer Morgan and Omar Ali.
