These webinars will be hosted by the MAA Inclusivity & Diversity Committee and are made possible by an Intention Foundry Learned Society Extended Engagement Microgrant from the American Council of Learned Societies.
The Inclusivity and Diversity Committee is proud to present the work of the first of our annual prize winners. Please join us on Monday, June 23rd at 12:00pm EDT for an interactive webinar discussion with Mohamad Ballan, winner of the Article Prize in Critical Race Studies.

I&D committee chair, Rachael Vause will discuss with Ballan his work to integrate the medieval Islamic world into discussions about race, racialization, and ethnicity in the Middle Ages, and then open the floor to questions for our esteemed prize winner. We hope you will join us!
