 The CSRR invites University of Mississippi faculty as well as graduate students to take part in a cross-disciplinary conversation about research and other projects related to the study of race and ethnicity, broadly stated, in the United States and abroad. Faculty and students from all levels of study and from all campuses and schools at the University of Mississippi are welcome.

Participants will join a panel and give a 7-10 minute presentation of their work.

We especially encourage submissions highlighting research about law, identity, racialization, politics, inequalities, and the environment.

SHARE your research and receive feedback on ideas connected to an article, dissertation proposal, chapter, documentary work or other projects in a casual and supportive environment. We welcome film, essay, and poetry submissions as well. Each panel will be followed by informal, cross-disciplinary dialogues exploring future directions for research.
